1. Unpack the equipment
  2. Check items integrity
  3. Initial configuration is required for link establishment
  4. Prepare RF cables of the required length. For 5GHz devices, the recommended maximum RF cable length is 1meter
  5. Install and seal the connectors on the RF cables

  6. Important: Horizontal and Vertical polarization should match each other on both sides!

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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
  10. Lay the FTP cable (and the optical cable, if used) “from top to bottom” – from ODU to IDU
  11. Install (crimp and solder) shielded RJ-45 connector for IDU on the FTP cable

  12. Install ODU on the mounting bracket, connectors facing down, and tighten it

     It is very important to mount the ODU connectors facing down.

  13. Connect the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU
  14. Seal the ODU Ethernet connectors
  15. 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
  16. Connect the RF cables to the antenna ports, minding the polarization marks. Twist the connectors tightly
  17. Connect the RF cables to the ODU ports, after previously having touched the RF cables’ connector case with ODU connector case
  18. Seal RF connectors from both sides (ODU and antenna)
  19. Connect the FTP cable to IDU, after previously having touched IDU connector case with FTP cable connector case
  20. Provide grounding for IDU
  21. Connect Ethernet cable to IDU
  22. Connect the IDU to power
  23. Connect to the Device using Telnet protocol.
