Antenna, ODU, IDU installation.
Installation guidelines
1. Install the antenna in the appropriate location (see antenna alignment instructions below). Antenna’s position must be lower
than the highest antenna pole point at least by 2 antenna heights. Point the antenna to the required direction. Provide
antenna grounding. (In case of using ODU with external antenna).
2. Connect RF cable to the antenna. Twist the connector tightly. Seal the connector. (In case of using ODU with external
antenna).
3. Install ODU having its connectors pointing down and tighten it. Appropriate place for ODU installation is as close as
possible to the antenna but reachable for you to connect ODU via its console port. Provide ODU grounding.
In case of using ODU with integrated antenna:
Install ODU according to the direction required for the link. Do not tighten it too hard unless the integrated antenna
alignment is not complete. Install ODU connectors down. Provide ODU grounding.
It is extremely important to install ODU connectors down!
4. Connect RF cable to the ODU previously having touched RF cable connector case with ODU connector case for removing
static electricity on the ODU. Seal the connector (in case of using ODU with external antenna).
5. Connect the STP/FTP Service (ODU-to-IDU) cable to the ODU. Seal the ODU connector.
6. Lay the STP/FTP Service cable “from top to bottom” – from ODU to IDU. Provide cable whipping before entering the
building. Whipping radius should be at least 10 times STP/FTP cable diameter.
7. If Service cable connector for IDU hasn’t been installed, install it. Seal the connector.
8. Install IDU. Provide IDU grounding.
9. Connect Service cable to IDU previously having touched IDU connector case with Service cable connector case for
removing static electricity on the IDU.
WARNING: Connect UTP-cable with KEYED RJ-45 connectors ONLY to “ODU” port on the IDU. Do NOT try to connect it
to “LAN” port, it will damage Keyed RJ-45 connector or IDU’s port.
10. Connect Ethernet cable to IDU.
11. Connect power cord to IDU. Provide power supply.
12. Connect to the unit using Telnet protocol.
13. Configure basic configuration parameters (see Basic configuration instructions below).
Basic configuration
1. Connect to the ODU via ODU console port using console cable or via IDU LAN Ethernet port using wired LAN (start Telnet
protocol).
2. Configure your computer parameters. If you are using console port start any terminal emulation software (e.g. Hyper
Terminal), set console interface properties to 38400 baud rate, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, parity off, flow control disabled, enable
emulation mode ANSI or VT100, keyboard VT100. If you are using Telnet protocol from the wired LAN run Telnet with
10.10.10.1 IP-address that is configured for the Ethernet interface of the device by default.
3. You will see the WANFleX OS prompt. Enter login and password. Every new device login “admin” and password “private”.
After default authorization there will be standard prompt string.
4. Perform basic radio interface configuration using “rfconfig rf5.0” command. Basic parameters: radio frequency (‘freq’
parameter) in MHz, bit-rate (‘bitr’ parameter) in kBits/sec, system identifier (‘SID’ parameter). ‘SID’ – is a system identifier
of the unit (all units that are supposed to see each other on the same radio link must have the same identifier). For
example: rfconfig rf5.0 freq 5260 bitr 130000 sid 01010101. To learn your device’s radio module capabilities type the
command: rfconfig rf5.0 capabilities.
IMPORTANT: Choose the frequency attentively. The frequency should be the one your radio link is working on.
Antenna alignment
Install antennas as high as possible over specific level. Proximity of other antennas should be avoided (at least 2 meters).
Consider reflecting surfaces (building with reflective windows, water surfaces or wet grounds). When installing antenna over
water surface, one should tune height bracket within 1-3 meter range variation, because it can yield signal level variation from
minimum to maximum.
To obtain the best performance results, it is necessary to perform a precise analysis of a LOS conditions, signal propagation
path zone and possible obstructions that may cover a part of the 1st Fresnel zone. Possible obstructions on the signal
propagation path are neighboring buildings, trees, bridges, power lines.
Antenna polarization must be taken into consideration while installation. In most cases Omni-directional and sector antennas
have a vertical polarization. Directional antennas can be installed either with vertical or horizontal polarization. Please check a
corresponding labeling on the antenna and address to the antenna technical documentation.
