2.2 Back-to-Back Bench Test and Configuration
Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance
evaluation over full temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it is
strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that can be much more difficult to perform
once the radio link endpoints are distant from one another. A back-to-back bench test and pre-
configuration will provide confidence that the radio link is operational and configured properly
prior
to installation, so that if troubleshooting is necessary, the radio hardware and configuration
settings are eliminated from the troubleshooting process.
