HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Chapter2 Hardware Installation This chapter provides installation procedures are generally outlined as follows: Verify system configuration Installing the ODU Installing the POE Mounting and alignment the antenna Connecting external equipment You may need to use Web Browser to change or set the MTIBR5811(E1) system’s operating parameters. Refer to chapter 3, Bridging network attachment and configuration, for more information. 2-1 Unpacking the Equipment The tools required for unpacking the system equipment are: Utility knife Clean, flat working surface Open the shipping containers, carefully remove the equipment and place it on a clean, flat working surface. Save the shipping and packing material in case the equipment has to be returned. Check the equipment and installation kits against the packing list to ensure that the equipment part numbers, parts, and ancillary equipment included in the shipment match what is specified on the packing list. Shipments consist of an ODU and an installation kit in one container. Verify the configuration as described in verifying the System Configuration. If there are discrepancies between the packing list and the equipment received, contact your sales representative. Inspect the equipment for any type of shipping damage. If any part of the shipment is damaged, contact your sales representative for repair or replacement instructions. 2-2 Verifying the System Configuration The MTIBR5811(E1) system consists of an Outdoor Unit (ODU), POE and an installation kit. 2-3 Installation Kit Most of the materials needed for installation are supplied with the system. Some tools and equipment must be supplied by the user. Table lists materials in a typical installation kit. Refer to the packing list for a description of the exact contents.

Grounding of all equipment at a radio site is required. Without proper grounding, voltage potentials between components of the system can cause electrical damage when interconnecting cables are installed. It is recommended that the ODU be installed with lightning rod protection. Also, to avoid surge current caused by lightning circulating to the equipment earth system, connect the equipment earth system (true ground) to the lightning rod ground. Please connect the ground node to the existing ground. Note: Ground wires and hardware are not provided in the installation kit. 2-5 ESD Protection ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components. Even if components remain functional, ESD can cause latent damage that results in premature failure. Personnel and equipment must be properly grounded. Always wear proper ESD grounding straps during equipment installation, maintenance and repairs. Connect your ESD grounding strap to the ESD connector. 2-6 Outline of MTIBR5811(E1) 2-7 Installing the ODU The MTIBR5811(E1) can be mount on a 2” Steel or Stainless Steel Tube. You can reference the Figure. ODU Configuration You can refer the photo here for installation. 2-8 Connecting the cable An Ethernet cable connects the ODU to the POE output port. The cable connects power to the ODU and allows Ethernet data to flow between Stations with Bridge system. Another Ethernet cable connects the station to POE input port. AC power is applied to the bridge system by connect it to POE AC adapter. 2-9 Align the Antenna (TBD) Notices The RSSI BNC connector is still not function well now. Please use the RSSI reading from the statistics window in WEB -base browser. Antenna alignment is performed with both the near-end and the far-end terminals operating. The antenna position is adjusted while monitoring the RSSI for antenna alignment voltage. The higher the RSSI voltage reading is, the stronger the signal. The range of the RSSI voltage reading is from 0 to 3.28VDC, and the resolution is 256 divisions. Caution: To ensure optimum system performance, the main lobe of the antenna must be aligned with the center of the far end antenna. Rotate the antenna through the range of radiated power so the main lobe can be positively identified. Each side lobe is approximately 20 dB lower than the preceding lobe as you move away from the main lobe. This antenna alignment procedure is applicable to both protected and non-protected system configurations. Align the antenna as follows: Note: Repeat this procedure if the initial alignment does not produce the correct RSSI reading. 1. Consult your path calculation and adjust the radio’s attenuation level, so do not exceed the maximum receiving signal level. 2. Verify that the Bridge at the far end is operational. 3. At the near-end Bridge, remove the protective cap from the RSSI BNC connector. 4. Connect a voltmeter to the RSSI connector and set the voltmeter to measure VDC. 5. Pivot the antenna slowly in the azimuth direction. Monitor the voltmeter and locate the position where the voltage is minimum (null) and record the reading. 6. Monitor the voltmeter and pivot the antenna in the elevation direction. Pivot the antenna to the position where the voltage is minimum on the voltmeter and record the reading. 7. Repeat these steps as necessary to get an accurate reading. 8. Tighten all fasteners and check that the null has not changed. If the null has changed, repeat the procedure until the null is maintained after tightening the fasteners. 9. Disconnect the voltmeter and replace the RSSI protective cap. Note: The signal level over the link is not optimal until both antennas are correctly aligned. 2-10 External Antenna For BR5811(E) If you use the external antenna option, you can follow the antenna installation guide to fixed the antenna and use the RF cable in the installation kit to connect the Bridge and antenna.
