Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000 Chapter 1 transmitter to resend the information. This process is repeated until the transmission is error free or the error continues beyond a predetermined number of maximum transmissions. RADWIN 1000/2000's ARQ mechanism is optimized for timecritical traffic. • Forward Error Correction (FEC) with very low overhead and algorithms specifically designed for the varying conditions of license-exempt frequency bands, ensuring fast, robust and error-free communications.
RADWIN 1000/2000 Link • Chapter 1 In addition to normal login access, Read or Write Community access is available at login RADWIN 1000/2000 Link The RADWIN 1000/2000 point-to-point solution is a wireless communication link. Typically each side of the link is comprised of an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and antenna and an Indoor Unit (IDU) or PoE device as shown in figure 14 below. The link is managed by the SNMP-based RADWIN Manager application.
The Radio Outdoor Unit (ODU) Chapter 1 The ODU comes in two form factors as shown in figure 1-5 below: a. Connectorized ODU Front b. Connectorized ODU Rear c. Integrated Antenna ODU - Front d. Integrated Antenna ODU - Rear Figure 1-5: ODU Form Factors • Integrated Antenna ODU This ODU has an integrated 370mm (1.2ft) flat panel antenna, with a gain of 23dBi. The ODU contains both the radio and the antenna as a single unit housed in a weatherproof case.
The Indoor Unit (IDU) Chapter 1 The ODU products available in release 2.2b are shown below: Table 1-1: Available ODU Products - Release 2.2b Description Part Number Form Factor Frequency Bands and Regulations 2050-0150 Integrated antenna 2050-0250 Connectorized for external antenna (2x N-type) FCC/IC 5.725 – 5.850 GHz FCC/IC 4.940 – 4.990 GHz The only available external antenna is, single bipolar.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Devices Chapter 1 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Devices The PoE device provides Ethernet service only, with power for the ODU. The PoE device is extremely compact, having only two Ethernet ports and a standard 3 pin male AC power socket. Figure 1-7: PoE device - showing the radio Ethernet port Antennas An antenna is the radiating and receiving element from which the radio signal, in the form of RF power, is radiated to its surroundings and vice versa.
Antennas Chapter 1 Figure 1-8: ODU with integrated Flat Panel antenna External antennas are available for the RADWIN 1000/2000 radios, varying in operating frequencies, form factor, size and gain, dual or single polarization. Flat Panel Antennas The Flat Panel antenna shown in figure 1-9 below has an integrated or external configuration: Integrated or External 1.2ft Flat Panel Dual Polarization Frequency 4.9 - 5.875 GHz (Ext) 4.9 – 6.0 GHz (Int) External 22.5 dBi at 4.9 – 5.25 GHz 23.5 dBi at 5.25 – 5.

How to Use this Manual Chapter 1 How to Use this Manual This User Manual is divided into functionally distinct chapters reflecting the activities required to set up a RADWIN 1000/2000.
A Little Terminology Chapter 1 A link then, consists of two sites. In Broadband Wireless terminology, the local and remote sites are sometimes referred to as “near” and “far”, “HQ” and “remote” and so on. The site which is closer to the network core (often the local site) will be referred to as site A, and the opposite side of the link, usually closer to the end user, as site B.
Conventions Used in this Manual Chapter 1 Conventions Used in this Manual Notifications Notifications consist of Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
Windows Terminology Chapter 1 Similarly, mouse click items will be referred to like this: “Click Next to continue.” (A mouse click always uses the left mouse button unless stated otherwise.) Windows Terminology Look at figure 1-11 above. The main application display which you see consists of a frame-window with a menu bar, system icons and content. It will be referred to as a window, the main window or the Manager window depending on context.

Chapter 2 Site Preparation Planning the Link Site Overview Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, site re-location will need to be considered. A Site Survey consists of three stages: 1. Preliminary survey - The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map. 2.
Stage 1: Preliminary Survey Chapter 2 • Urban map of the area • Compass Stage 2: Physical Survey • 100 meter tape measure • Ohmmeter, to check ground connection • Binoculars • Map • Digital camera • Paper, pencil, and a clipboard • GPS device (optional) • Compass (optional) Stage 3: RF Survey • Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store multiple images, for documentation purposes • RF accessories (connectors and cables) • Communication devi
Stage 2: Physical Survey Chapter 2 7. If the site chosen does not meet requirements, consider alternative sites. 8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the RADWIN 1000/2000 or using the RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance. Stage 2: Physical Survey The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed RADWIN 1000/2000 installation location, to ensure that the link sites are suitable for the wireless network.
Additional Outdoor Site Requirements Chapter 2 9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the RADWIN 1000/2000 wireless network installation. • If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey • If the site is not suitable, survey another site Additional Outdoor Site Requirements The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60°C (-31 to 140°F).
