Installation Overview
IFUs are loaded with default system attributes at the factory. At the
customer’s designated staging area, the customer-specific attributes identified
in the site database are downloaded to the IFU, which is then ready for
installation. At the installation site, the IFU is installed on a mounting bracket,
aligned, and commissioned. When all installation tests are complete and
expected results are achieved on all IFU sites, the network is ready for
customer acceptance.
