The procedure required to make the link functional has three phases:
1. Link Installation - which we will detail below.
Installation actually gets the link operational by setting the link parame-
ters. It uses a fixed channel at the lowest possible modulation, BPSK at
6.5Mbps and will work under the harsh interference condition.
2. Link Configuration - described in
7
.
Configuration provides much the same functionality as Installation, but
for a running link. A fallback to Installation mode is provided for situa-
tions which cannot be handled without resetting the link, such as
antenna realignment and IDU or ODU replacement.
The Link Installation and Configuration phases are both carried out with
Wizards, which “walk you through” the processes. The Wizards are visu-
ally quite similar and will be described in detail below.
3. Site Configuration - described in
8
.
Site specific configuration for each side of the link is available at any time
- under a running link or under the restricted Installation mode.
Site Configuration consists of a set of panels, which may be invoked indi-
vidually in any order, as needed.
Note
During the installation procedure, the definition of all parameters is
automatically applied to both sides of the link.
Caution
• The ODUs as supplied by Ceragon are set up with a factory default
band. If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it
should be done before link Installation. The procedure is set out in
20
.
• Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations.
Note
An installed and configured link can be returned to installation mode for re-
installation and configuration from last settings or from factory settings.
• Reversion to installation mode requires a complete break in the link
service
• Configuration mode may vary the service throughput and quality, but
without a service break
