5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul

Replacing a Radio

d For the NanoStation radios:

1) Verify that the radios on the same pole are at least three feet apart.

2) Verify that the Access Point (A) radio is three feet higher on the pole than the

Station (S) radio.

3) If possible, raise the poles (masts) to provide the least-obstructed view to the

partner radio as is reasonable.

5.6 Replacing a Radio

Any number of environmental hazards could destroy an existing radio. When this happens,

replace it using the following instructions:

1 Identify the radio that needs to be replaced.

2 When the radio was initially configured for the point-to-multipoint backhaul, a label was

attached to the radio indicating which configuration file was used. Make a note of the

configuration label (for example, Line_1_Recorder_A).

3 Duplicate the configuration label and attach it to the replacement radio using the same

information.

4 Locate the corresponding configuration file (for example,

Line_1_Recorder_A.cfg)

and upload it to the replacement radio according to step 2 on page 107 through step 13

on page 111.
