Chapter 1 Introduction
The Orion-900, 900MHz OFDM radio is a cost-effective point-to-point / point-to-multipoint,
and multipoint-to-multipoint solution for ISM band wireless backhaul deployment equipped with
an Ethernet interface.
This radio is one of the first OFDM radios, utilizing 16/64QAM modulation. Although line of
sight installations are always recommended, OFDM technology makes the system ‘more
forgiving’ than non-OFDM radios.
This radio is incorporated with Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology that operates on a
single channel. This Ethernet product is primarily designed to provide a standard Ethernet
interface in a wireless link between distant sites.
1-1 Features and Benefits
Provides for easy installation and high performance wireless bridging of up to 50Km
With an effective data rate up to 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, and 22Mbps, it is one of the fastest and
most efficient Ethernet radios in the industry.
OFDM Technology.
Channel size/bandwidth flexibility allows the user to select channel size at 5, 10, or 20 MHz
for optimal performance.
Versatile Quality of Service / Time-Division Multiplexing technique. TDM technology can
avoid Ethernet packet collision and send packets with more stability and efficiency so to
improve the quality of voice and data transmission.
nx64 selectable user data rates allow for better Quality of Service(QoS).
WEP 64 bit / 128 bit / 152 bit, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK as well as MAC access for added
security.
Easy to use Web-based configuration utility. is fully manageable both locally and remotely. In
addition, built-in SNMP support lets the operator, whether ISP or enterprise, expand the
network infrastructure with ease.
IP-68 rated weatherproof housing.
Multipoint-to-multipoint use allowing every radio installed to not only provide access, but
also be used as a repeater for other locations.
External N-connector allows operators to select the optimum antenna.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
In order to comply with international radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dish antennas
should be placed at a minimum of 8.7 inches (22 cm) from the bodies of all persons. Other
antennas should be placed a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) from the bodies of all persons.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
This equipment must be grounded. Never remove the ground conductor or operate the
equipment in the absence of a suitable installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain whether suitable
grounding is available.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations.
Do not deploy the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna,
take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious
injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national
and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada:
Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment or your risk voiding your warranty.
To meet regulatory restrictions, the radio and the external antenna must be professionally
installed. The network administrator or other IT professional responsible for installing and
configuring the unit must be a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to
the unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory
compliance.
The Orion-900, 900MHz ISM band radio and POE injector can be damaged by incorrect
power installation. Read and carefully follow the installation instructions before connecing
the system to its power source.
Follow the guidelines in this chapter to ensure correct operation and safe use of the radio.

2-4 Hardware Installation
The Orion-900, 900MHz ISM band radio is a radio device, so it is susceptible to common causes of
interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best
possible performance:
If there is any other 900MHz RF device deployed in the area, try to set the channel to one
that does not overlap the interferer. If you are not able to determine what channel the
interferer is on, randomly select a channel until the channel with the best signal strength is
locked in.
A clear line-of-sight path can guarantee the best performance. Ensure proper antenna height
and no obstructions. Although the Orion-900 can be forgiving under certain circumstances,
it is always recommend that. clear line of sight is achieved.
