Figure 2-4 illustrates a typical RF/Antenna configuration for the ODU. The packaging includes the following
components:
ODU Enclosure
RF Electronics
ODU Controller Card responsible for controlling and monitoring ODU functions and for interfac-
ing with the IDU
The ODU is frequency agile so that the same ODU can typically be used throughout the entire allocated fre-
quency band. Subsequently, this reduces sparing levels.
The ODU meets all National Electrical Code requirements pertaining to lightning and power transients and
meets or exceeds FCC and ETSI regulations pertaining to conducted and radiated Electromagnetic Emis-
sions.
The ODU is sealed against the environment and is capable of functioning in ambient temperatures ranging
from -40°C to +60°C, with up to 100% relative humidity. The ODU can survive steady state winds of 40 m/
s with gusts to 55 m/s (89 mph/123 mph).

This procedure provides information for unpacking and inspecting the PMP equipment prior to physical
installation.
5.2 Receiving and Unpacking the Equipment
At a minimum, check for the following:
STEP 1. Check the outside of the shipping crates for visible signs of damage. Crushed corners
or tears in cardboard may indicate rough handling which may result in hidden damage
to equipment.
STEP 2. Inventory shipping crates and other packages received in the shipment. Verify that all
items listed on the Electronic Goods Descriptive Inventory or applicable shipping docu-
ment were received. Identify all missing items on the inventory sheet.
STEP 3. Record any noted damage to the outside of the packaging material on the carrier's Bill
of Lading and have the transportation company initial the sheet. All notations should
indicate location and condition.
Example: 1" x 2" scratch on left front (LF) metal panel; not LF panel
scratched. Another example would be 4" x 6" dent in center panel
(not dent in panel).
WARNING! The warranty will be violated if you do not take anti-static precautions when unpacking or
assembling the PMP boards in the PMP shelf. Circuit modules can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Ensure that an approved anti-static wrist strap is connected
between the wrist of the person and an electrical ground before handling any of the circuit
modules.
STEP 4. Carefully open the equipment packaging.
5.3 Inspecting the Equipment
STEP 1. For each of the PMP subsystems received, verify the equipment received matches the
shipping list by Part Number and Serial Number. Report any discrepancies immedi-
ately using the field return procedure outlined in Section 11 of this manual. The Tel-
Link PMP system may be ordered in different configurations. Table 5-1 shows the Part
Number for all system parts. In addition, the quantities of boards for redundant and
non-redundant configurations are identified. The Equipment Parts List may contain
more than the users specific requirements.
CAUTION! Tampering with seals will void the warranty.

STEP 2. After unpacking the equipment, visually inspect the equipment for damage and ensure
that:
All components mounted on the individual boards are secure.
The circuit boards are not cracked.
There are no loose leads.
The shelf unit has not been dented or damaged in any way.
STEP 3. Dispose of as much packing material as possible. P-COM suggests that the user
retain at least one of each box with all packing materials. In the unlikely event that it is
necessary to return a unit, the user will possess the required packing material for safe
shipment of the unit.
STEP 4. Make claims for any damages incurred during shipment to the transportation company
involved in accordance with company procedures.
