- Unpack the equipment
- Check items integrity
- Initial configuration is required for link establishment
- Prepare RF cables of the required length. For 5GHz devices, the recommended maximum RF cable length is 1meter
- Install and seal the connectors on the RF cables
Important: Horizontal and Vertical polarization should match each other on both sides!
1 - Antenna ports. Figure - InfiLINK XG UM ODU Front Panel- Determine the FTP cable length that is used to connect IDU and ODU. The total cable length between LAN (behind IDU) and ODU should not be longer than 100 meters. Service cable connecting IDU and ODU should be FTP Cat 5E cable
If using SFP module, connect it to ODU, plug in the optical cable (the maximum length and type depend on the SFP module type) and seal the connector
1 - Cable gland nut, 2 - Split sealing grommet, 3 - Cable gland threaded coupling, 4 - Optical cable (from 2mm to 3mm), 5 - SFP-module (not included in the delivery package), 6 - Standard RJ-45 connector, 7 - GPS antenna port (antenna and cable are not included in the delivery package), 8 - Grounding bolt. Figure - InfiLINK XG Um ODU Installation Scheme- Install (crimp) regular RJ-45 connector for ODU on the FTP cable and seal it. Do not use the shielded RJ-45 connector on this end of the cable, as it should be attached only on the IDU end
- Lay the FTP cable (and the optical cable, if used) “from top to bottom” – from ODU to IDU
- Install (crimp and solder) shielded RJ-45 connector for IDU on the FTP cable
Install ODU on the mounting bracket, connectors facing down, and tighten it
NOTE
It is very important to mount the ODU connectors facing down.
- Connect the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU
- Seal the ODU Ethernet connectors
- Once the antenna and antenna pole are installed they must be properly grounded: connected to the building lightning protection circuit. Antenna’s position must be lower than the highest antenna pole point at least by 1 meter. If antenna is NOT DC-shorted (see antenna technical documentation), additional lightning arrestors must be used which are placed between ODU and antenna and are grounded to the antenna pole grounding circuit
- Connect the RF cables to the antenna ports, minding the polarization marks. Twist the connectors tightly
- Connect the RF cables to the ODU ports, after previously having touched the RF cables’ connector case with ODU connector case
- Seal RF connectors from both sides (ODU and antenna)
- Connect the FTP cable to IDU, after previously having touched IDU connector case with FTP cable connector case
- Provide grounding for IDU
- Connect Ethernet cable to IDU
- Connect the IDU to power
- Connect to the Device using Telnet protocol.
