for downloading SW versions. OR portable PC/Notebook or Pocket PC/PDA and a straight Ethernet cable for configuring
parameters using a web browser
• Installation tools and materials, including appropriate means (e.g. a pole) for installing the outdoor unit (and antenna where
applicable) and for sealing any outdoor connectors.
• To connect directly to the ODU for configuration/performance monitoring: A special Y-cable and a Notebook or PDA with
web browser.
• Optional SU Alignment Unit (SAU) for easy alignment of the antenna.
WARNING: ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and,
wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor
units and antennas. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and may expose the end user or Service
Provider to legal and financial liabilities. The manufacturer and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.
Equipment Location Guidelines
The antenna should provide a direct, or near line of sight, with the Base Station antenna. The higher the placement of the
antenna, the better the achievable link quality. The location of the ODU should enable easy access to the unit for installation and
testing.
ODU Installation
Mount the ODU unit using the clamp, band and screws supplied with the unit. The unit’s antenna is polarized vertically in the
direction of the RJ45 port. Install the unit with the connectors facing downwards as shown in the following image.

1. Thread the provided metal band through the adaptor bracket and use the screws provided with the mounting kit to attach
the adaptor bracket to the unit.
2. Connect a grounding cable between the Ground terminal of the ODU (marked ) and a good ground connection.
3. Align the unit using the LED display.
Preparing the IDU-ODU Cable
Use a crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors to prepare the wires. Insert them into the appropriate pins and use the tool to crimp the
connector. Make sure to do the following:
• Remove as small a length as possible of the external jacket. Verify that the external jacket is well inside the sealing
cover when connected to the unit, to ensure good sealing.
• Pull back the shield drain wire before inserting the cable into the RJ-45 connector, to ensure a good connection with
the connector's shield after crimping.
The following diagram shows the required wire pair pin-to-pin connections,
including the color codes used in cables supplied by the manufacturer.

Connecting the IDU-ODU Cable
1. Remove the sealing cap of the ODU connector.
2. The sealing cap has a special groove allowing to insert an Ethernet cable with an already assembled RJ-45 connector
through the cap. To expose the groove, lightly squeeze the cap. Carefully insert the cable with the assembled connector
through the groove.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector.
4. Put the sealing cap back in its place to ensure protection against moisture. Make sure that the small protrusion on the side
of the cap fits inside the hole on the connector’s protective body.
5. Use appropriate sealing material to protect the connection against moisture and humidity. Use high quality sealing material
such as Scotch® 130C Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape from 3M to ensure IP-67 compliant protection against dust and
water.
6. Route the cable to the location selected for the indoor equipment.
7. Assemble an RJ-45 connector with a protective cover on the indoor end of the ODU cable. Refer to the pin assignment and
color codes in standard cables described below.
IDU Installation
1. The unit can be placed on a desktop or a shelf. Alternatively, it may be wall-mounted. The drilling template included with the
unit can be used to simplify the wall installation process.
2. Connect the ODU cable to the RADIO port.
3. Connect the indoor unit to the AC mains using the power cord supplied with the unit.
NOTE: The indoor unit should be connected to the power source only after it has been connected to the outdoor unit.
The color codes of the power cord are:
Brown Phase ~
Blue Neutral 0
Yellow/green Grounding
4. Use a crossed Ethernet cable to connect the ETHERNET port to a Hub/Switch. Use a straight Ethernet cable to connect
directly to a PC’s NIC.
Basic Configuration
1. Initial configuration can be performed using either Telnet for accessing the Installer Monitor program or a web browser for
accessing the built-in Web Configuration Server.
2. To configure parameters using Telnet, connect a PC/Notebook to the Ethernet port of the IDU, using a straight Ethernet
cable.
3. To configure parameters using the Web Configuration Server, connect a PC/Notebook or a Pocket PC/PDA with a web
browser to the Ethernet port of the IDU, using a straight Ethernet cable.
4. You can also connect directly to the ODU’s IDU COM, using the special Y-cable (see instructions below).
5. Configure the PC's IP parameters to enable connectivity with the unit. The IP address of the SU for local management
access is 192.168.254.251. The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The recommended IP address for the PC is
192.168.254.250, as this is also the default TFTP Sever IP Address (required for downloading SW versions and for
downloading/uploading configuration files).
6. Run the Telnet program or open a web browser, and connect to 192.168.254.251. The Enter the password prompt is
displayed. Enter the password (the default password is “installer”) and press the Enter key.
7. Configure the basic parameters required for connectivity with the base station. The following table includes the basic
parameters and their default values:

8. Reset the unit to apply the changes.
Aligning the Antenna
1. Point the antenna toward the general direction of the Base Station.
2. Connect the SAU to the ODU (optional) and verify that the PWR (power) indication on the SAU is on.
3. Verify that the unit is synchronized with a Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all
parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by
changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.
4. Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality reading is achieved (SNR and RSSI, or
when using SAU, the number of link quality LEDs). If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link
quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
5. Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line
of site to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna
is not always directed toward the Base Station.
6. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.
NOTE: In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives
transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. When all LINK QUALITY LEDS are on,
including LED 10, this indicates that the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be
avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less
than 300 meters from the AU, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°.
Fast Configuration and Antenna Alignment Using the Y-Cable
1. Disconnect the IDU-ODU cable from the ODU.
2. Connect one end of the Y-cable to the ODU’s IDU COM connector.
3. On the other end of the Y-cable, connect a PDA/PC to the PDA connector and the IDU-ODU cable to the IDU connector.
4. From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters.
5. Align the antenna using the instructions above.
Verifying Proper Operation
1. Verify data connectivity by pinging the AU or by connecting to the Internet.
2. To verify proper operation of the SU, examine the LED indicators on the IDU:
Table 2: IDU LEDs
Name Description Functionality
Power Power Indication
Off – IDU is not powered or power failed
Green – IDU power is OK
Link Ethernet link status
(Ethernet integrity)
Off – No Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the
outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit
Green – Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the
outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit
11a Wireless link status Off – SU is not associated with an AU/μBST
Green – SU is connected with an AU/μBST
* After power-up, the WIRELESS LED illuminates until self-test is finished.
3. To verify proper operation of the ODU, examine the LEDs of the SAU:
