Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Section 1 Overview 1.1 Description The Marquee™ Series is a powerful answer for customers seeking a reliable high-speed wireless connectivity solution. It provides the best features and wireless reach in the field by combining industry leading outdoor point-to-point (P-P) optimized software with its patented amplifier technology. Unlike other single band products, Marquee gives you the choice of installing a license-free 5.8 GHz, or a licensed 4.9 GHz network. If your needs change in the future, Marquee can change with you. The Marquee P-P Series is comprised of Marquee Bridges. The Marquee is available in two types of enclosures: a flat panel (FP) and a ruggedized (EX) enclosure (see Figures 1.1a and b). The FP enclosure features a 23 dBi integrated antenna. The EX enclosure comes either with a 23 dBi flat panel antenna attached to the top of the unit, or it has an N-type connector on the rear to plug an external antenna. Table 1.1 shows the possible combinations of Marquee products, solutions and antennas that are offered. Refer to Appendix A for Marquee technical specifications.

Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Section 2 Installation Safety Warning This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. The equipment should be installed and operated outdoors with fix-mounted antennas such that there will be a minimum of 2 meters of separation distance between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. This includes integrated, attached and external antenna versions of equipment. If you are using dish antennas, the minimum separation distance must be 2.56 meters. CAUTION 2.1 Introduction The Marquee is intended for professional installation only. Please review the entire manual before powering up or deploying these units. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you configure and test the units prior to deploying them in the field. Set up a “mini-network” that resembles your actual configuration as close as possible. By using such a mock-up, troubleshooting potential problems will be much easier than if you already installed the equipment in the field. Read through this entire Section 2 to understand how to install the hardware. To configure the Marquee, read Section 3. 2.2 DC Power Injector The Cat 5 DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the weather. It can be permanently mounted to a surface using the double stick tape found on the back of it. 2.3 Power Supply The Marquee kit comes with a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power supply that has a standard barrel plug [center pin positive (+) tip and outer ring negative (-)]. 2.4 LEDs Three LEDs are present on the back of the Marquee (see Figures 2.1a and b): • The green Power LED stays on when the unit is plugged and operating correctly • The green Wireless Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the wireless medium • The green Ethernet Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the Ethernet port Version 1.2 Page 3 February 2005

Position the bracket so that the side that has the circular tab is pointing towards the center of the unit. Secure to the unit by threading two nuts and tighten them firmly with an appropriate wrench. 2. Attach the pivot adaptor bracket (B) to the pole mounting bracket (A) by using bolt and nut, as shown in Fig 2.4. Tighten hardware (one place). IMPORTANT: Ensure that convex edge of the pivot adaptor bracket (B) is facing concave edge of the pole mounting bracket (A).

Fasten the Marquee unit to the pole using pole clamp (C), U-bolt (D), and two nuts, as shown in Fig 2.5. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole clamp (C) and U-bolt (D) will accept pole diameters between 0.75” to 1.5” OD.

Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide The antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. If you are using a Marquee with a 23 dBi FP attached antenna, the label located on the back of the unit shows an arrow indicating the antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.7a and b). Please note that both ends of the link must use the same polarization. Be aware that most omni antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee EX is aimed at one, it must be installed vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down. If you are using a Marquee with an external antenna, there is no arrow on the label located on the back of the unit and an additional N-type female jack is present to connect a short coax cable to the antenna (see Figure 2.1b). All previous considerations regarding polarization are applicable to the external antenna. Figure 2.7 – Marquee EX With Attached Antenna Orientation (a) For Vertical Polarization (b) For Horizontal Polarization Polarization Arrow Polarization Arrow WARNING If you are using a Marquee with an external antenna, the unit must be operated with a proper antenna, microwave load or terminator plugged into the N-type female jack on the back of the unit. Operating the Marquee with nothing connected to the jack may result in damage to the TX section of the unit which will not be covered by the factory warranty and will be a billable repair. 1. Fit the adaptor bracket (A) to the four studs protruding from the back of the Marquee EX unit, by aligning the four inner holes with the mounting studs on the back of the unit and securing to the uusing four nuts, lock washers, and flat washers, as shown in Figure 2.8. Tighten hardware (four places). IMPORTANT: Note the position of the serrated edge of bracket (A). Attach the pole mounting bracket (B) to adaptor bracket (A) by using one M8xnit . 40 bolt and flat washer . s, ng 2on one side, and nut, lock washer and flat washer on the other, as shown in Fig 2.8. Tighten hardware(one place). IMPORTANT: Ensure that the serrated edges on both brackets are facing each other. Fasten the unit to the pole using pole clamp (C) and two M8x70 bolts, lock washers, and flat washer3as shown in Fig 2.9. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole mounting bracket (B) will accept pole diameters between 1.75” to 3” OD. You may attach the Marquee unit to smaller diameter poles, between 1” to 1.75” OD, by flipping over the pole clamp (C) so the convex part faces the pole and using two M8x40 bolts. The Marquee unit can also be mounted to larger pole diameters by discardipole clamp (C) and replacing it with metal straps (not included) fastened through slots located on the pole mounting bracket (B).

Ensuring that there is no DC power applied to the cable, plug the 6-pin N-male round connector of the outdoor Ethernet cable (ordered separately) into the rear jack of the unit, making sure the notch on the connector is correctly aligned with the tab on the jack as shown on Figure 2.10. Turn the round locking nut clockwise as you push in until it securely fastens onto the jack. Please verify that the round connector is properly plugged into the rear jack of the antenna prior to connecting DC power because it is possible to push it in the wrong way if enough force is used. If DC power is applied and the connector is not properly plugged, damage to the electronics of the unit or the connector itself may occur which will not be covered by the factory warranty.

Then repeat for the near end of the link. 8. Repeat steps 7 and 8 above to guarantee optimum alignment for maximum signal strength. 9. CAUTION: It is possible to obtain a false peak SNR reading from the signal of a side-lobe. Up to three different side-lobes on either side of the main lobe may give false peak alignment readings. For this reason, it is important that a wide sweep in both azimuth and elevation is made in order to identify these false peak SNR readings so to zero in on the true peak alignment reading due to the main antenna beam. 10. Tighten the two Azimuth adjustment bolts while observing the SNR reading to ensure the azimuth alignment does not change while tightening. 11. Tighten the Elevation adjustment bolt while observing the SNR reading to ensure the elevation alignment does not change while tightening. 12. Test the Link.
