Installation
Overview
This section explains how to install AWE units. You will assemble, configure and test units in a controlled
environment so that any problems can be solved easily, and then install units in the field. By going through this
process, you will help ensure a successful installation, save time spent on-site, and reduce travel between
sites.
The following basic process should be followed.
1. Obtain the network plan, equipment and tools.
2. Assemble units
—Check the contents of each AWE shipping package to ensure that you have received the required parts.
—Connect the indoor antenna, connect the power supply unit, and check the power.
3. Configure units—Configure units according to the network plan.
4. Bench test units—Test basic RF and network operation of units in a controlled environment.
5. Install units—Place the tested units in their field locations and connect them to antennas, the wired
network, and DC power.
6. Test Network—Test the operation of the installed network.
Before you start testing, ensure that you have all the required parts, tools and equipment you will require.
