Overview
Description
The L-2500 is a point-to-point, fixed wireless, ultra broadband access product. It deploys
quickly and inexpensively with proper planning and preparation as outlined in this manual. Loea
RF products are intended for installation by professional Loea certified installers only.
1.2
L-2500 Common Applications and Features
The L-2500 was developed as a last mile access solution and as a replacement for buried/aerial
fiber cable such as POP access and LAN/WAN extensions.
Because of its low cost and short time of installation the L-2500 is an ideal solution for
alternative building access. The L-2500 is also rapidly deployable and re-commissionable
making it an ideal solution for temporary bandwidth or as a solution to emergency situations that
could cause an interruption to buried technologies.
In short, any application of fiber cable in the last mile is a potential application for the L-2500.

Installation Procedures
Introduction
This Users Manual provides basic instructions on the assembly, alignment and verification of
Loea RF systems. It also outlines recommended tools and processes to use to working with Loea
technology. Reading this section in detail is highly recommended prior to starting any work on
site. Only Loea Trained and Certified installers should perform installation services on a Loea
RF product.
Please note that every area of the country has its own codes of safety and construction.
Installations like this must comply with these codes. It is the users responsibility to understand
what codes apply and to ensure that the installation conforms to these codes.

Before the installation of a Loea link, certain steps must be taken to ensure that the installation
will be successful.
A. Site Survey: During a site survey a trained and certified Loea installer can assess the
environment of the installation, ensure that the physical conditions of the site are
appropriate, indicate where building connections need to be available and ensure that
Line of Sight (LOS) exists between the two end points.

B. FCC Part 101 License: Loea’s band of operation is protected by FCC rules.
Therefore, each path must be submitted for approval to a path coordinator. Loea’s
Services unit can do this for the user or the user can file independently.
a) Loea to obtain License: Indicate to the individual performing the site survey. He
will collect GPS information and file for a site license immediately. Loea holds a
Nation-wide approval from the FCC & NTIA to deploy in this band.
b) User to obtain License: If the user wishes to hold his own license, a nationwide
approval must first be gained from the FCC. This is a relatively simple process
that is done online and takes about 30 days. Please contact Loea directly for
assistance with this. Once the nationwide license is obtained, then the GPS
information can be submitted to one of the path coordinators approved for this
band. Path approval is generally completed in just a few days.
C. Installation of Mast and Demarcation: A mast of 4in O.D. must be installed at a
position on the roof and specific height as specified in the Site Survey. Noncompliance will violate the FCC license. To facilitate connection to the buildings
network, fiber for communications, 115V AC conditioned power and optional
Ethernet for monitoring are required in a demarcation box per the specifications in
this manual and specifically as defined in the Site Survey.
D. Bench Test: Loea recommends that at a minimum, the transceivers are tested on site
prior to installation. To do this separate the transceivers by a minimum of 5 feet,
point them towards each other and verify AGC levels and BER performance as
described in sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. If possible, a complete end to end test is
recommended with switching and/or encryption devices used as well. While the Loea
transceiver is generally a plug and play device, it is advisable to do this to avoid
timely de-bugging in the field.
E. System Verification and Operational Test (SVOT): Upon physical installation
completion, a snap shot of the transceiver should be taken to verify that the
transceiver is fully functional and that the environmental conditions are recorded.
This will assist Loea customer service and help desk personnel assess problems
should a link fail to operate. See Appendix B for a copy of these forms.

2.4.2
Assemble Antenna mount plate and control arms
Requires: one MRP-2006 Mount plate (9), one MRP-2008 pillow block (10), four ½” Hardware
Assemblies (11) consisting of [½”- 13 x 1-3/4” bolt, hex nut, lock washer, flat washer], and three
¼”-20 socket head cap screws (12).
Position the Mount plate (9) so the offset tab is on the lower right while
assembled. Locate the three ¼”-20 threaded holes on the tab and fasten the pillow
block (10) to the plate with the socket head cap screws (12). The application of
Lock-Tite™ or an equivalent compound during this step is recommended.

Position each Azimuth arm with adjustment controls up, on the backside of the
plate capturing the ½” through holes of the upper and lower tabs on each side of
the Mount plate. Fasten the arms to the plate using the ½” Hardware Assemblies
(11).
2.4.3
Assemble Antenna mount plate and Pole plate
Requires: one MRP-2002 Pole plate (13), one MRP-2010 Elevation Lock nut (14), one ball joint
bearing (15), three ¾”-10 socket head cap screws (16), and one ¾” jam nut (8).
Position the Pole plate (13) so that the bearing block for the Elevation control arm
is on the lower left while assembled. Securely brace the pole plate and gently tap
the ball joint bearing (15) into the block with a bearing drift or large socket.
Orient the two plates so that the ball joint ends of the Azimuth control arms line
up with the ¾” tapped holes on each end of the pole plate cross beam. Next,
fasten the ball joint ends to the cross beam of the pole plate by inserting the ¾”
socket head screws (16) through the ball joint and thread into the tapped ends.
Tighten until snug, do not over tighten or torque the ball joint screws.
Thread the jam nut (8) halfway up the free end of the elevation (threaded rod)
arm. Slide the free end through the ball joint bearing (15) of the pole plate.
Rotate the antenna mount plate so the ball joint end attached to other end of the
Elevation arm lines up with the ¾” tapped hole in the adjacent side of the pillow
block. Secure the Elevation arm to the pillow block in the same manner as the
Azimuth arms. Thread the Elevation lock nut (14) onto the free end of the
Elevation arm. Adjust the Elevation lock nut and the ¾” jam nut (8) as needed to
minimize movement of the antenna mount plate during final assembly.

2.4.4 Attach assembly to Mast, attach antenna
Requires: two U-Bolt Assemblies (17) consisting of [one 4.5” diameter, ½”-13 U-bolts, two hex
nuts, two lock washers], four 3/8”-16 bolts and flat washers (18), and Antenna (19)
Lifting the steering assembly from the front, press the pole plate against the mast using
the parallel runners on the backside to steady the assembly while the two U-bolt
assemblies (17) are installed. Once the steering system is shifted into the desired position
the plate’s runners will bind to the mast as the U-bolts are tightened so as to prevent the
mount from inadvertently slipping.
Once the steering assembly is secured to the mast, locate the four 3/8” through holes
correlating with the four threaded holes located on the backside of the antenna. Position
the antenna (19) onto the mount plate in relation to the most accessible placement of the
optical alignment scope. Secure the antenna to the mount using the 3/8” bolts and flat
washers (18). Although the steering system can accommodate course adjustments, the
mount may need to shift beyond the range of the Azimuth arms. The U-bolts can always
be loosened enough to permit a slightly greater rotation to correct such alignment issues.

2.4.5 Attach transceiver to mounting and steering system
Requires: four 1/4”-20 bolts, and lock washers (20)
Once the steering assembly with antenna is secured to the mast per 2.4.4 above, lift the
transceiver and pass it through opening ‘A’ in the steering assembly aligning the four 3/8”
through holes on the transceiver (21) with the four threaded holes (22) located on the Mount
plate.
NOTE: Ensure the transceiver housing is positioned such that the
cooling fins on the housing are vertical with respect to the mounting base. For
sites requiring vertical polarization rotate the housing so that the cooling fins are
horizontal with respect to the mounting base.
Secure the transceiver to the Mount plate using the 1/4”-20 bolts, and lock washers (20) as
shown below. Configuration shown is for horizontal polarization.
2.5
Alignment Techniques
The alignment process for a Loea link is performed manually. The Loea mounting and
steering system has vertical (V) and horizontal (H) tuning bars along with a scope
mounted on the side of the antenna for fine alignment.
General coarse alignment is achieved by first using the scope to obtain visual alignment
of the system. The U-bolts (U) are loosened slightly to enable rotation of the transceiver
and antenna around the pole. If the links are separated beyond the magnification of the
scope, the use of a reflecting device can be helpful during this coarse visual alignment.

Scope

Side-lobes
_________________________________________________
Once coarse visual alignment is complete, use the AGC reading (section 2.6) to tune in
the radio link. This is best done by sweeping the dishes over the area of a small
rectangle, tuning one dish at a time using the fine adjustment tuning bars (V) and (H)
until each transceiver has the appropriate AGC reading.
NOTE: Make sure that at each end of the link the transceiver is not
‘peaked’ on its side-lobe. Observing the AGC voltage and making sure there are
two smaller voltage peaks on either side of the main peak can avoid this. Do this
when sweeping across a small triangle in the direction of the opposite end.

Interfacing to AGC
The AGC voltage is a measure of received signal strength, typically used to assess
alignment. To measure the AGC voltage, remove the service compartment cover (G) of
the Loea transceiver. In the service compartment is a BNC connector (J) with two
receptacles for Digital Multi-meter probe tips. Also in the service compartment is a chart
(H) indicating the appropriate and acceptable range of AGC for your transceiver. By
fine-tuning the alignment, try to get the AGC voltage within a few dB’s of the path loss
specified in your final proposal by Loea. This is a good measure that your link is
properly aligned.
2.7
Verification of BER
Verification of Bit Error Rate (BER) is achieved by using a fiber optic line tester to
validate the Loea Wireless Fiber link. Typical Fiber line testers can verify the protocol
(Gigabit, Ethernet, IP or OC-12 SONET), bandwidth, optical signal quality in addition to
BER ensuring a true fiber optic replacement.

Standard System Demarcation Requirements
The Loea L-2500 Transceivers will be provided with standard cable connections for a predefined Demarcation Box (See below). The Demarcation Box allows costs and setup to be
predictable and controlled from the Demarcation Box to the Data Link. The Demarcation Box
will be pre-installed no more than 15’ from the transceivers and shall provide, as a minimum, the
following connections:
• 98-132 VAC, 60 Hz
• Fiber-optic connection, dual SC
Additional Demarcation connections that may simplify the link installation and operation are:
• RJ-45 - CAT5 10/100baseT Ethernet connection to the transceiver’s system monitoring
port.
• RS-232 - Serial interface to the transceivers on-board CPU
3.1.1
Enclosure Mounting Options
• Holes and cutouts can be provided in enclosures and panels.
• All six sides of an enclosure can have holes and cutouts.
• Some areas on the enclosure (e.g. close to a corner) cannot have holes and cutouts.
• If a hole or cutout interferes with an existing grounding stud, the grounding stud will be moved
to the closest possible location.
• All holes and cutouts must be filled with a component or accessory with the same NEMA/UL
rating as the enclosure in order to maintain the overall NEMA/UL integrity of the enclosure.
EMC integrity can be maintained by installing EMC shielded components.

Basic Information on Loea Interface
The Loea transceiver operates at the Physical Layer (Layer 1) of the OSI network stack. The
transceiver is protocol agnostic and to the view of the IT professional or systems integrator,
Loea’s Virtual Fiber transceiver will look and feel just like traditional Fiber optic cable. Loea’s
transceiver is also 100% self-contained and will consume no space in the IT locker rack system.
The transceiver has two mandatory, one optional and one service connection as follows:
1.) Optical Signal interface (A): For Ethernet standard, Loea will use Multimode
852nm Fiber and for the OC-X standard, Loea will use Single-mode 1310nm fiber.
Optical connections are made by passing the incoming fiber optic cable through the
cable entry gland (F) and making the connection to the signal interface (A).
2.) AC Power interface (B): The Loea transceiver in standard configuration requires a
nominal 115V AC connection with transient conditioning via an Un-interruptible
Power Supply (UPS). The typical UPS to be used with the transceiver has an
operational AC input range of 98 - 132VAC and provides battery back up to offer
operation in the event of power loss. The system only requires 30W and will operate
from a battery backup for some time. A Loea engineer can recommend a solution
based upon customer requirements. The AC power connection to the transceiver is
made by passing the incoming AC power cable (D) from the UPS through the cable
entry gland (F) and then making the connection to the AC receptacle (B).
3.) Optional connection for Link monitoring (C): Because the transceiver can be
viewed as a network element, there is a standard RJ-45 (C) connection for a SSL
(Secure) and SNMP.v1 connection option for NOC (or Loea’s LOC) interface.
SNMP.v3 is under development and expected later in 2004. Other options here
include Cellular and dial up options.
4.) Serial interface (E): A local RS-232 interface is available for local troubleshooting
and status information retrieval.

Note: The transceivers on board computers allow customers access to link status only.
The hooks are out of band and transceiver performance cannot be remotely altered.
Because the Loea system is Layer 1 and protocol agnostic, it will interoperate with most
commercial off the shelf (COTS) switches, routers and encryption devices.
The systems weather availability is also beneficial from the IT professional perspective in
that a Loea RF system operates at ultra high BER (10-12) until the rare event of a link
becoming weather disabled, will look like a cut fiber. Additionally, Loea links re-clock
each bit before hand-off to COTS devices. This provides a sharp signal edge with little
jitter.

System Verification & Operational Test
(S.V.O.T.)
System Description
The Loea solution is a wireless point-to-point communication system operating in the FCC and
NTIA coordinated Part 101 wireless spectrum from 71.0-86.0GHz. Each link consists of a
Millimeter-Wave Transceiver, Antenna, and a Dual Axis adjustable Mount and may include
other components specific to your installation requirements. The System requires 115V AC
(UPS conditioned) power and can connect with standard optical interfaces. Ethernet and Serial
data ports are also provided for link initialization and system monitoring. See attached Proposal
for specific system commitments.

Test Parameters
Automatic Gain Control
Inside each transceiver is a chart of AGC voltages and the corresponding Path Loss
measured in dB. The preliminary site survey should provide an “estimated” Path Loss
calculated by link distance, the antenna size and gain at each site. The transceivers
should align to within a few dB of the estimated Path Loss.
Loea field technician will record this value for your review and for our records.
Signal Test Procedure
Loea Personnel will demonstrate via 3rd party test hardware by Sunrise Telecom.
•
•
Appropriate Level of Optical signal between Link and Customer demarcation.
10^-12 or better BER between Loea links. Loea technician will demonstrate 30
minutes of performance.
Wrap Up
Connect the fiber into the corresponding network cables at the demarcation box. Connect
the Modem cable. Secure all cables insuring proper strain relief. Ensure transceivers and
demarcation boxes are clear of any tools, material, and test equipment. Attach and secure
all enclosure panels. Recheck all watertight connections for integrity.
