1. Introduction
1.1 Scope of This Document
This document shows how to install RADWIN 2000 Family ODUs.
For a detailed description of how to configure RADWIN 2000 Family ODUs, see
the RADWIN 2000 Family Configuration Guide.
1.2 RADWIN 2000-Plus Family Overview
The RADWIN 2000‐Plus Family delivers up to 2.2Gbps (depending on the specific model) in
a point‐to‐point architecture and is the ideal choice for last-mile enterprise connectivity,
short-distance backhaul, and high‐end applications.
The RADWIN 2000‐Plus Family has several models, each offering different characteristics.
as shown in the following table.
The main differences between products are shown below. Other differences are noted
throughout this publication.

Some options and models may not be available for your regulatory environment.
1.2.1 Outdoor Units (ODUs)
There are six types of outdoor ODUs (radio units):
•Large Form Factor (LFF) ‐ With an integrated or external antenna.

external antenna
Figure 3 LFF ODU external dimensions
•Small Form Factor (SFF) ‐ As its name implies, this ODU is smaller than an LFF
ODU but can also have an integrated or external antenna.

•RADWIN 2000 Alpha EMB ODUs ‐ Uses a smaller form factor than that of the LFF or
SFF. Can also have either:
oan integrated antenna ‐ the Turbo Gain antenna - that installs directly on the
ODU.
oa separate, non‐integrated, external antenna.
