Cable Requirements
RS-232 Serial Connection
The ASCII console must be connected to the RS-232 serial port with Twin-BNC connector. This
requires a twisted pair (TP) cable with common shield (foil and plaited shield); the cable must be
suitable for Twin-BNC connector.
Using a proper cable, the operation is guaranteed for up to 10 m of cable.
4E1
The user equipment is connected to the LigoPTP 24 FODU via twisted-pair cable (at least 8 pairs, - 16
wires), refer to the chapter Pinouts for details. The 18-pin connector is suited for cables with the
diameter from 4 to 10.5 mm.
E1 signals will be carried properly over at least 100 m of TP cable. The length of cable is restricted by
the maximum allowable attenuation, which must not exceed 6 dB.
10/100Base-T
Cat. 5e UTP or better cable is required for power supply, management of device and data traffic.
LigoPTP 24 FODU can be used with any LigoWave additionally provided Power over Ethernet
sourcing equipment (provided power >25 W). Used voltage is between 3657 V DC, though the
nominal voltage is 48 V, over two of the four available pairs on a Cat. 5e cable. It is possible to use
passive injectors, utilizing spare leads. Refer to the chapter Pinouts for detailed information about
pinouts.
Length of Cat. 5e cable must not exceed 100 meters.
RSSI BNC
To connect the digital multimeter to the LigoPTP 24 FODU RSSI port in order to adjust the antenna
alignment, a coaxial cable with BNC connector on one end and appropriate termination on other end
can be used (see example in Figure 4 –Cable for connecting the voltmeter to the LigoPTP 24 FODU
RSSI port).
Figure 4 –Cable for connecting the voltmeter to the LigoPTP 24 FODU RSSI port

Labeling
The label can be found on the front side of the unit.
The label contains the following information (see samples in the picture below):
LigoPTP 24-
Product Number (I24FAE03L): product number contains information in which band side (L, H) the
FODU operates. Letters A, B, C or D indicate specific subband.
Unit Serial Number (3163901 00001); the serial number uniquely identifies the FODU.

There are four ways to adjust and read settings and operation parameters of the LigoPTP 24 FODU
equipment:
using Web terminal connected to the 10/100Base-T management port,
using Telnet terminal connected to the 10/100Base-T management port,
using NMS or SNMP terminal, connected to the 10/100Base-T management port, or
using ASCII console connected to the serial port.
Resetting the LigoPTP 24 FODU
Depending on the method used, the user may reset the whole terminal or the management controller
individually, see table below for details.

10/100Base-T Port
The 10/100Base-T management port is used to connect the LigoPTP 24 to a PC or Ethernet network
for Web, SNMP and Telnet management.
The 10/100Base-T port cable length must not exceed 100 meters.
Assembling the Ethernet Cable Connector
Be aware that length of RJ45 connectors may vary! This is the reason why weatherproof
connector enclosure has room for longest possible RJ45 connector.
This instruction will show you how to correctly assemble weathered connector and have best possible
connection of RJ45 connector with socket.
Configuration and Management

Figure 7 –Assembling Ethernet weatherproof connector
1. Prepare the cable as shown in the picture. DO NOT assemble weathered connector!
2. Plug RJ45 connector into the Ethernet socket.
3. Align weathered connector body and put it in place.
4. Fix the connector to the socket with screw. Note that cable sealing screw is still not fixed at this
moment.
5. Push the RJ45 connector into the socket by pushing the cable and at the same time seal and fix the
cable using cable sealing screw.
6. Assembled cable. Please fix the cable to the mast as close as possible to FODU. Do not bend it!
Minimum radius shall be no less than 10cm.
7. Incorrect position of RJ45 connector, weathered connector assembled without proper RJ45
alignment. Note, that it is too deep in the connector.

Power over Ethernet Injection
You must have Power over Ethernet sourcing equipment (provided power>25W) to connect the laptop
to the LigoPTP 24 FODU. It is possible to use passive injectors, utilizing spare leads. Refer to chapter
Pinouts for detailed information on pinouts. Power over Ethernet injector can be purchased from
LigoWave as an optional accessory. Below is an example of a passive and active Power over Ethernet
injector, as well as its application scheme.
Figure 8 –Passive Power over Ethernet Injector (P/N I0ATPI01)
Figure 9 –Power over Ethernet Passive Injector Application
This passive injector features shielded RJ-45 jacks. This along with the metal housing helps reduce
the effects of EMI. A ground lug and terminal is provided directly on the injector housing providing
superior grounding. The cast aluminum housing includes integral mounting feet for easy installation.
Figure 10 –Power over Ethernet Active Injector (P/N I0ATPI02) Front and Back Views
This active injector is Power over Ethernet supply with integral DC injector, so separate power supply

Along with the LigoPTP 24 Full Outdoor Unit, the LigoPTP 24-TP4 panel (P/N I0GTP401) can be used
for LigoPTP interface termination; the LigoPTP-TP4 panel terminates the following ports:
E1 ports: the unit passes four balanced E1 signals coming from the FODU to the termination
panel, providin
ports with the RJ-45 socket (see Figure 2.9. for details).
WAN port: Ethernet 10/100Base-T port for connection with the equipment at user side;
FODU port: Ethernet 10/100Base-T for connection with the LigoPTP 24 FODU;
4E1 port: balanced interface for 4 E1 channels to/from the LigoPTP 24 FODU;
Grounding screw: for proper grounding of the termination panel.
Additionally, the termination panel provides power to the LigoPTP 24 FODU by means of the Power
over Ethernet (not 802.3af) technology, which utilizes spare leads on the cable to the LigoPTP 24
FODU from the FODU port connector and provides appropriate voltage (48V) and power (>25W) (see
the Figure below).

the LigoPTP 24 FODU Port Numbering
The termination panel also features full surge protection, meeting ITU-T K.20/K.21/K.44/K.45
recommendations and ETSI ETS 301 489 standard.
The panel does not provide serial management port (RS-232); the serial port can only be
used by directly connecting to the FODU.
Power LEDs on the termination panel show if the power is being fed to the termination panel (Green
LED), and if the LigoPTP 24 FODU is powered on (Yellow).
The LigoPTP-TP4 unit is optional and can be used with any of the LigoPTP 24 Full Outdoor Units. It is
frequency and capacity independent.
LigoPTP-TP4 panel mechanical data:
Dimensions (HxWxD): 44 x 482.6 x 54 mm;
Weight: 0.6 kg.
Connection with Web Interface
It is recommended to use the following web-browsers (and all later versions):
IE v. 6.0
Mozilla Firefox v. 2.0.0.11
Safari v. 3.0

Opera v. 9.50
After web browsers selection, open it and enter address of the FODU (Figure 2.10).
It is important to know the Side parameter of the FODU to which you want to connect;
whether the factory settings are loaded in FODU.
If Low Side -> IP: 192.168.205.10
If High Side -> IP: 192.168.205.11
