PacketWave Base Station and Subscriber
Units InstallationInstructions
The PacketWave 1000 and 100 Series Base Station and Subscriber Units require
outdoor units, a Radio and Antenna for each Wireless Sub-System (WSS) and an
Integrated Radio/Antenna for the Subscriber Unit. On both the Base Station and
Subscriber outdoor units must be mounted and installed for proper operation. Each
Base Station Unit Antenna is connected to a Base Station Radio Unit using two RF N-
Type female connectors. For both the Base Station and Subscriber Units power and
Intermediate Frequency (IF) signals to the radio unit are supplied, through the RG-6
cable. A CAT5 E Ethernet control cable also connects the indoor unit to the outdoor
radio unit.
