Version 1.2 Page ii February 2005 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.

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. Introduction The Marquee is intended for professional installation only. Please review the entire manual before powering up or deploying these units. NOTE: 2.2 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. 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 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.1 – Marquee LEDs (a) Flat Panel (FP) Version (b) Ruggedized (EX) Version N-Type Connector for External Antenna 2.5 Hardware Installation – FP Enclosure NOTE: All connectors must be properly water-proofed with all-weather electrical tape, Permagum, or equivalent. Do not use Silicon glue. The Marquee FP unit is installed by using a pole mounting bracket (A) that is secured to the pole with a pivot adaptor bracket (B), a pole clamp (C), and a U-bolt (D). Figure 2.2 shows the hardware provided to mount the Marquee FP unit. Figure 2.2 – Marquee FP Mounting Hardware Pole Clamp (C) Pivot Adaptor Bracket (B) U-Bolt (D) Pole Mounting Bracket (A) The integrated antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. The label located on the back of the unit contains an arrow indicating the antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.3a 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 FP is aimed at one, it must be installed vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down. Version 1.2 Page 4 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.3 – Marquee FP Orientation (a) For Vertical Polarization (b) For Horizontal Polarization (A) (A) Circular Tab Polarization Arrow Polarization Arrow 1. Fit the pole mounting bracket (A) to the two studs protruding from the back of the Marquee FP unit according to the desired polarization, as shown in Figures 2.3a and b. 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). Figure 2.4 –Assembly of Pivot Adaptor Bracket (B) to Pole Mounting Bracket (A) (B) (A) Version 1.2 Page 5 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide 3. Turn the pivot adaptor bracket (B) so that the rectangular part is parallel with the surface of the Marquee FP. 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. Figure 2.5 – Attaching the Marquee FP Unit to the Pole Max 1.5” (A) (C) Min 0.75” (D) (B) Proceed to Section 2.7 – Cabling the Marquee (All Enclosures). 2.6 Hardware Installation – EX Enclosure NOTE: All connectors must be properly water-proofed with all-weather electrical tape, Permagum, or equivalent. Do not use Silicon glue. The Marquee EX unit is installed by using an “X”-shaped adaptor bracket (A) that is secured to the pole with a pole mounting bracket (B), and a pole clamp (C). Figure 2.6 shows the hardware provided to mount the Marquee EX unit.

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. 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. Figure 2.7 – Marquee EX With Attached Antenna Orientation (a) For Vertical Polarization (b) For Horizontal Polarization Polarization Arrow Polarization Arrow 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 unit using 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). 2. Attach the pole mounting bracket (B) to adaptor bracket (A) by using one M8x40 bolt and flat washer on 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. 3. Fasten the unit to the pole using pole clamp (C) and two M8x70 bolts, lock washers, and flat washers, as 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 discarding pole clamp (C) and replacing it with metal straps (not included) fastened through slots located on the pole mounting bracket (B). Version 1.2 Page 7 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.8 – Detail Showing Assembly of Pole Mounting Bracket to Marquee EX Serrated Edges Figure 2.9 – Attaching the Marquee EX Unit to the Pole Slots for optional metal straps Max 3.0” Min 1.0” Proceed to Section 2.7 – Cabling the Marquee (All Enclosures). 2.7 Cabling the Marquee (All Enclosures) 1. 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. Version 1.2 Page 8 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide WARNING If DC Power is applied while you are attempting to insert the round connector into the jack, it is possible that, as you rotate the plug in an effort to find the key, DC power pins will momentarily touch the Ethernet pins. If this happens the Ethernet circuitry on the board will be damaged. Also, do not apply excessive pressure when you insert the round connector or the pins will pop out. Any damage caused by this action will not be covered by the factory warranty and will be a billable repair. Figure 2.10 – Plugging the Outdoor Ethernet Cable Plug the connector into the jack by aligning the notch with the tab Caution: Be sure DC Power is not applied when plugging the cable 2. Attach the other end of the outdoor Ethernet cable to the Cat 5 DC Power Injector at port RJ-45 labeled “To Antenna.” 3. Connect the Ethernet cable labeled “To PC/Router” from the Cat 5 DC Power Injector into a regular port on your router, switch or hub. If you connect to a computer or PC, use a cross-over cable or adapter. 4. Perform an Earth ground connection to any of the rear bolts of the unit, the mounting brackets, or the mast (if metallic). For maximum protection, also connect the metal wire of the surge protected DC Injector to ground as shown on Figure 2.11. Figure 2.11 – Installation of the Terabeam Surge Protected DC Injector for Maximum Grounding Protection AC Power Ground Wire Power Supply RJ-45 Ethernet Connector To Switch, Router or PC To Marquee Surge Protected DC Injector 5. If you are using a Marquee unit with an external antenna, connect the antenna to the N-type female jack on the back of the unit. Version 1.2 Page 9 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide 6. Connect the barrel plug of the power supply to the “DC Power” jack on the Cat 5 DC Power Injector, then plug the Power Supply into an AC outlet. Check that the red Power LED on the Marquee turns on. If there is traffic over the wireless medium the green Wireless Link LED should be flashing. If the Ethernet port is active the green Ethernet Link LED should be flashing. 7. Install the Configurator program on a laptop or PC and configure your system (see Section 3). You are going to use the antenna alignment and link monitoring screen of the program to align the antennas. 2.8 Antenna Alignment There are three possible antennas that you can use with the Marquee unit (refer to Table 1.1): • • • A 23 dBi flat panel integrated to the FP enclosure A 23 dBi flat panel attached to the EX enclosure An external antenna • The purpose of the following steps is to adjust the Line-of-Sight of the antennas in order to maximize the main lobe SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) level. Regardless of the type of antenna that you are using, the procedure involves making an azimuth (horizontal) alignment and an elevation (vertical) alignment. The steps below pertain to integrated and attached antennas, but they are also applicable to external antennas as long as you follow the specific alignment instructions of the corresponding manufacturer. For a P-P configuration, you are going to align both antennas on each end. IMPORTANT: During this process, all Marquee units must be at the same stage of the installation procedure and powered ON. It is assumed that you have configured your units (see Section 3) and that there is communication between the Configurator program and your Marquee units. Unless specifically noted, the term “antenna” is used to describe either of the three types. 1. Perform a coarse alignment of the antenna by using a compass heading so it is roughly “looking” at its remote partner. 2. Connect the near end Marquee unit to the laptop or PC where the Configurator program is installed by using a crossover Ethernet cable. Run the Configurator. Verify that the unit where you are locally connected to as well as its remote partner are both displayed on the Main Screen (Fig. 2.12). Note: Version 1.2 If you cannot see the partner Marquee unit on the Main Screen, that probably means that your antenna is so misaligned that it cannot link to its partner. Perform a coarse alignment of both antennas by using a compass heading so they are “looking” at each other. Place the cursor anywhere in the List of Scanned Devices box and right-click the mouse. A Re-scan local network button will appear. Click on the button. If the partner Marquee still does not appear, repeat these steps until it is displayed. Page 10 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.12 – Configurator Main Screen Local Marquee Remote Marquee 3. Login onto the local unit (Fig. 2.13). Click the Analyze tab, then click the Wireless Link Test button. The Enter IP Address window appears (Fig. 2.14). The IP address and the password should be correct since you just logged in. Click OK. Figure 2.13 – Login Screen Version 1.2 Page 11 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.14 – Enter IP Address Screen 4. Click the Wireless Link Test button. Again, the Enter IP Address window appears. Click OK. 5. The Select a Remote Link Partner window appears (Figure 2.15). Verify that you have the partner Marquee unit displayed in the box, click on it and then click the Link Test button (or double-click the partner unit). The Remote Test Link window is shown (Figure 2.16). The main goal now is to peak the SNR levels at both ends of the link. Figure 2.15 – Select a Remote Link Partner Screen Version 1.2 Page 12 February 2005 Marquee™ Point-to-Point Series User Guide Figure 2.16 – Remote Test Link Screen Maximize these levels 6. Using the Azimuth adjustment bolts (see Figure 2.17a or b), adjust the azimuth until the SNR readings for both ends of the link peak. Start with azimuth adjustment on the far end of the link first (if applicable). It is recommended that, in order to ensure the true maximum, you should adjust through the maximum SNR reading until the reading clearly drops and continues to drop to lower level sidelobes. Adjust back until the maximum is attained again. Then repeat for the near end of the link. 7. Using the Elevation adjustment bolt (see Figure 2.17a or b), adjust the elevation until the SNR readings for both ends of the link peak. Start with elevation adjustment on the far end of the link first (if applicable). It is recommended that, in order to ensure the true maximum, you should adjust through the maximum SNR reading until the reading clearly drops and continues to drop to lower level sidelobes. Adjust back until the maximum is again attained. 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. Prior to placing the link in service for network traffic, the link should be tested using standard network procedures.
