WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 iv FCC – User Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (WinLink™ 1000) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Note: Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the WinLink™ 1000 warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. RADWIN and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

A WinLink link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configuration. Both ODUs must be installed, and the antennas aligned for maximum throughput.
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-26 Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor or to a grounded mast. For grounding the O-PoE, connect the grounding cable from the dedicated earth terminal (screw at the side of the enclosure) to an external protective ground conductor or to a grounded mast. Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should climb the antenna mast. Only trained professional installers should be used when installing or dismantling ODUs and masts. To mount the ODU: 1. Verify that the ODU mounting brackets are properly grounded. 2. Mount the ODU onto the mast or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top, water may penetrate into the unit causing damage.) Refer to Mast and Wall Installation for the ODU or O-PoE mounting instructions. 3. Connect the ground cable to the chassis point on the ODU. 4. Attach the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector. If making own ODU-IDU cable, refer to Wiring Specifications for the connector pin-out. 5. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU. 6. Secure the cable to the mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties. 7. Repeat the procedure at the remote site. 2. Note: Do not tightly secure the ODU to its mounting brackets until the alignment process of the antenna is complete. When installing the ODU, check that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made obstacles. For O-PoE UL Listed parts and components must be used for installation. Use UL listed devices having an environmental rating equal to or better than the enclosure rating to close all unfilled openings. Warning Caution

Note: Panels may be fitted with different connector combinations than shown, depending on the model ordered. IDU-R Installation Installation of an IDU-R unit differs from other IDU models in one respect: At the rear of the IDU-R (see Figure 2-6 above) there are two jacks labeled “Trunks”. For each IDU-R, the E1 cable from outside should be plugged into one of the trunks, and the E1 cable to the other
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-29 station should be plugged into the second trunk, as in the left hand side of Figure 2-7 above. Apart from the above difference, the link installation including the remaining part of the IDU installation and connection to the ODU proceeds as described as above. Connecting the Ground to the IDU Connect an 18AWG grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the device. The device should be permanently connected to the ground. Connecting Power to an IDU AC power is supplied to the WinLink™ 1000 IDU through a standard IEC 60320 connector. AC power should be supplied via a 1.5m (5 ft) standard power cable terminated by a IEC 60320 socket. A cable is provided with the unit. To connect AC power to an IDU: Connect the power cable socket to the power connector on the WinLink front panel. • Connect the power cable plug to the mains outlet. The unit turns on automatically upon connection to the mains. To connect DC power to an IDU A special 3-prong socket for DC power connection is supplied with the unit. Connecting Power to an O-PoE AC power is supplied to the O-PoE via a 3m (10 ft) 3 wire AC cable attached to the unit (pigtail). The AC cable is provided with no termination. To connect AC power to an O-PoE: Connect the power cable to a protected/shielded AC mains outlet. The AC mains outlet should be provided with circuit breaker rated 5A according to the local national electrical code. The unit will be turned on automatically upon connection to the mains. To maintain Overvoltage (Installation) Category II, install a suitable surge suppressor device in the branch circuit to limit expected transients to Overvoltage Category II values. The limits are based on IEC60664 and are also located in Table 2H of UL60950 (for mains ≤ 150V, the transient rating is 1500V; Warning
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-30 for 150V < mains ≤ 300V, the transient rating is 2500V; for 300V < mains ≤ 600V, the transient rating is 4000V). Aligning Antennas with the Beeper Perform the antenna alignment using the ODU’s audible tone. The tone is not suitable for aligning the All Indoor Units (AIND). To align an AIND system, see AIND Alignment. To speed up the installation time, alignment of a WinLink™ 1000 system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site A and at site B.  To align the ODUs using the alignment tone: 1. Verify that power is connected to the IDUs at both sites. Do not stand in front of a live ODU. Provided that Site A detects the signal from Site B, the ODU starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until the ODUs are aligned, and the installation is complete. 2. Verify normal operation of the IDU by the LED indications on the front panel. See IDU Front Panel Indicators. 3. Direct the antenna of site B in the direction of the site A. This is simplified if a previous site survey has been completed and azimuths are known. 4. Make an azimuth sweep of 180 degrees with the site A ODU so that the strongest signal from site B can be detected. 5. Slowly turning the site A ODU back towards the position of Site B, listen to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations. Warning
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.795 3-31 Figure 3-8: Beeper Sequence for ODU Alignment Note: Three beeps and a pause is the best signal Two beeps and a pause, signal quality increased One beep and pause is no signal change Any other signal detects no signal between ODUs. 6. Secure the site A ODU to the mast/wall. 7. At site B, adjust the ODU slowly whilst listening to the beeper sequence until the best signal is attained. 8. Secure the site B ODU to the mast/wall. 9. Monitor the link quality for about 15 minutes to verify stability. Installing the Link During the installation procedure, the definition of all parameters is automatically applied to both sides of the link. Note: For HSS screens see Hub Site Synchronization..  To install the link: 1. Verify that there is IP connectivity between the management station/laptop and the IDU, and that the WinLink™ 1000 Manager application is running. 2.
