- Unpack the equipment
- Check items integrity
- Prepare RF-cables of the required length. For 5GHz devices the recommended maximal RF cable length is 1 meter
- Install and isolate the connectors on the RF cable
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
Figure - Installation scheme- Install (solder) connector for ODU side on the FTP cable and isolate it
- Lay the FTP cable “from top to bottom” – from ODU to IDU
- After the FTP cable has been laid, use distribution box to switch from FTP cable to UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.
- Install ODU on the mounting bracket connectors down and tighten it
- Connect the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU
- Isolate the ODU connector joint place
- Once the antenna and antenna pole are installed they must be grounded via lightning protection grounding contour. Antenna’s position must be lower than the highest antenna pole point at least by 2 antenna heights. If antenna is NOT DC-shorted (see antenna technical documentation), the additional lightning arrestor must be used which is placed between ODU and antenna and is grounded to the antenna pole grounding contour.
- Connect RF cable to the antenna. Twist the connector tightly
- Connect RF cable to the ODU previously having touched RF cable connector case with ODU connector case
Isolate RF connectors from both sides (ODU and antenna)
Figure - Connection scheme- Connect the UTP cable to IDU
- Provide grounding for IDU
- Connect Ethernet cable to IDU
- Provide power supply for IDU
- Connect to the Device using Telnet protocol
CAUTION
It is extremely important to install ODU connectors down!
