5.4 Install the AN-50e Terminal
The following are general guidelines for mounting and connecting the terminal.
5.4.1 Mounting
The wireless terminal may be rack or shelf mounted. If rack mounted, each
terminal will occupy one rack unit (RU) in a standard 19-inch rack. Do not block
the ventilation screens on the terminal.
5.4.2 Grounding
A grounding screw is provided on the rear of the terminal. The terminal must be
properly grounded in compliance with local and national codes.
Connect a grounding cable from the grounding screw on the rear of the terminal to
the rack grounding or the building ground. The terminal must be adequately
grounded for safe operation. Do not
rely on the removable power or signal cables
to provide system grounding.
5.4.3 IF Cable
The IF cable supplies power to the radio. It is necessary to attach the IF cable
before aiming the antenna.
Important: The wireless parameters should be set before the IF cable is connected
to the terminal. This will avoid interference with other wireless devices located in
the area.
