Safety Safety Warnings There are several types of safety-alert messages which may appear throughout this instruction sheet as well as on labels attached to the radio. Familiarize yourself with these types of messages and the importance of the various signal words, as explained below. DANGER “DANGER” identifies the most serious and immediate hazards which will likely result in serious personal injury or death if instructions, including recommended precautions, are not followed.
Safety Safety Procedures For Working At Heights • Select equipment locations that will allow safe and simple installation. • Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens. • Don’t attempt repair work when you are fatigued. • Use approved non-conducting ladders, shoes, and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good condition. • If a tower or pole begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

Setup and Installation In the 1720, the second radio, if needed, must be enabled via a license and IntelliCom View Pro software. Likewise, the MIMO capability must be enabled for those radios which require it. Steps in the Staging Process 1. Check to see that all radios are visible in IntelliCom View Pro. If not, troubleshoot per the directions in the IntelliCom View Pro Reference Guide. 2. Set the Country Code for your country of operation. 3. Re-verify that all radios are visible. 4.
Setup and Installation Installation Overview - 1710 Radio installation is straightforward. You must power up and configure all radios on a table or bench before deployment. Place the unit on a table or shelf. Apply power. The power LED should illuminate immediately; after about 60-90 seconds, the status LED should switch to steady green. Note the location of the reset hole in the lower right corner of the rear panel.
Setup and Installation Tools Needed You will need: • #2 Phillips screwdriver. • Small adjustable wrench. • Wire cutters to cut tie wraps around cables. • Weatherproofing kit Depending on the installation location, you may need ladders, a lift truck, or other means to access the actual installation locations. Preparing Earth Ground The S&C IntelliCom WAN 1720 mesh radio must be properly connected to earth ground. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, injury, or death.
Setup and Installation Figure 3.3 Mounting Bracket Your radio shipped with a twopiece mounting bracket as shown in the upper photo. To mount the radio, remove the outer piece, by loosening the thumb screws. The inner bracket can be left attached to the radio, as shown in the lower photo. If you are not using three antennas on each radio, install antennas in order, from the front of the unit toward the back. Do not ‘skip’ antenna connections.
Setup and Installation Pole Mounting 1. Insert the two U-bolts through the holes in the claw-toothed piece. 2. On each U-bolt, place a washer, a lock washer, and a nut. Smaller pole diameters usually require a second nut as a spacer to hold the bracket away from the U-bolt clamp. Finger-tighten the nuts. There should be about 12-15 mm (1/25/8”) of U-bolt sticking past the second nut. Figure 3.4 Mounting Examples Vertical pole and horizontal pole mounts; the universal bracket mounted to a pole. 3.
Setup and Installation Figure 3.5 Power and Ethernet Connectors Note the location of the weatherproof cap that has the reset button under it, at bottom left in Figure 3.3. To reset the unit, apply power and wait until the unit has fully booted and the status light has come on. Then use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button until the status LED blinks. This takes about 12 to 15 seconds.
