Installation guidelines
1.In case ofusingODUwithexternalantenna:
•Install theantennaintheappropriatelocation(see antennaalignmentinstructionsbelow). Antenna’sposition
mustbelowerthanthehighestantennapolepointatleastby 2antennaheights.Pointtheantennatothe
requireddirection.Provideantennagrounding.
•ConnectRFcabletotheantenna.Twisttheconnectortightly.Sealtheconnector.
•Install ODUhavingitsconnectorspointingdown andtightenit.AppropriateplaceforODUinstallationisas
close as possibleto theantennabutreachableforyoutoconnectODUviaitsconsoleport.Provide ODU
grounding.
•ConnectRFcabletotheODUpreviouslyhavingtouched RFcableconnectorcase withODUconnector casefor
removingstaticelectricityontheODU.Sealtheconnector.
2.In case ofusingODUwithintegrated antenna:
•InstalltheODUintheappropriatelocation(seeantennaalignmentinstructionsbelow).ODU’sposition

Itisextremelyimportantto install ODUconnectorsdown!
3.ConnecttheSTP/FTPService(ODU-to-IDU)cabletotheODU.SealtheODUconnector.
4.Lay theSTP/FTPServicecable“fromtoptobottom”–fromODUtoIDU.Providecablewhippingbeforeenteringthe
building.Whippingradiusshouldbeatleast10times STP/FTPcablediameter.
5.IfshieldedRJ-45Servicecableconnector forIDUhasn’tbeeninstalled,installit.Sealtheconnector.
6.Install IDU.Provide IDUgrounding.
7.ConnectSTPServicecableto“ODU”portontheIDU’s,previouslyhavingtouchedIDUconnectorcasewithService

8.ConnectLANEthernetUTPcableto“LAN”port ontheIDU.
ConnectLANUTP-cablewithKEYEDRJ-45 connectorsONLYto“LAN”portontheIDU.DoNOTtrytoconnectitto “ODU”

9.ConnectpowercordtoIDU.Providepowersupply.
10. ConnecttotheunitusingTelnetprotocol.
11. Configurebasicconfigurationparameters(see Basicconfigurationinstructionsbelow).
Basicconfiguration
1.ConnecttotheODUviaODU’s consoleportusingconsolecableorviaIDU’s LANEthernetportusingwiredLAN(use
Telnet).
2.Configureyourcomputerparameters.
Ifyouareusingconsoleport startanyterminalemulationsoftware(e.g.HyperTerminal),setconsoleinterface
properties to38400 baudrate,8bit,1stopbit,parityoff,flowcontrol disabled,enableemulationmode ANSI or
VT100,keyboardVT100.
IfyouareusingTelnetprotocol fromviawired LANrun Telnetwith10.10.10.1IP-address thatisconfigured for the

Antennaalignment
Install antennas ashighas possibleoverspecificlevel.Proximityofotherantennas shouldbe avoided (atleast2
meters).Considerreflectingsurfaces (buildingwithreflectivewindows,watersurfacesorwetgrounds).Wheninstalling
antennaoverwatersurface,oneshouldtuneheightbracketwithin1-3meterrange variation,because it canyieldsignal
levelvariationfromminimumtomaximum.

Recommendationsfor antennaalignment:alignantennas usingopticalequipment(binoculars,spyglass)accompanied
by mobilephoneactionscoordination,use GPSreceiverandarea map,use InfiNetWireless RapidView-1 deviceorbuild-
inInfiNetWirelessODUfeatures.These features allowevaluatingcurrentchannel/signalqualityandperformprecise
antennaalignment.Toachieve thebestlinkqualityontheradiolinkuse “Ltest”softwareutility.See complete
descriptionofthese commandsandutilities inOSWANFleX Manual(wanflex.pdf)andTechnicalUsermanual(tum.pdf).
Toperformsimpleantennaalignment:
1.ConnecttotheODUandperformbasicconfigurationas itisshown inBasicconfigurationinstructions.
2.Start“Ltest”utilityusing“ltest <IF-NAME>destination_device_MAC”command.‘destination_device_MAC’–isaMAC
address ofadeviceontheoppositeendoftheradiolink(for example: ltest rf5.000:00:0e:12:13:ac).
3.When“Ltest”startsyouwillsee agrowingtablewithtwoparts:local(device)andremote(device).In fourcolumnsof
