PAGE 3-28 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENTS
- Antenna feed (coaxial/connector) problem
The Tsunami radio requires professional installation. Don’t
forget that the transmitter output power adjustment on the
Tsunami radio effects the RSL. Depending on EIRP limits (if
any), path distance, and antenna gain, you may need to
adjust the output transmit power to the proper level before
putting the radios in service.
If radio synchronization has been established, the radio link
may be able to provide some limited communications over the
link. It can be helpful to establish voice communications from
one end of the radio link to the other using the Orderwire
feature of the Tsunami radio. See Section 3.14.1 for details.
If RSL is lower than anticipated, recheck the path clearance and transmission line as these are
the typical causes of low RSL. Radio operations can be verified by connecting radios back-to-back
with attenuators (40-60 dB), (see Section 4.9). If the problem remains, consult Section 4 of this
manual for troubleshooting techniques which will help determine the source of the problem.
9. Once radio performance is verified and acceptable, the Tsunami radios can now be put
into service with the intended Fast Ethernet traffic. Connect to the LAN or computer using
the RJ45 (wire) or ST (fiber) 100BaseT connector. With Fast Ethernet traffic applied in
both directions, all front panel LEDs, except for POWER and the data TXD/RXD lights
should be off. If any other LEDs are on, consult the trouble shooting sections of this
manual.
10. Now that the link is operational, other services can be connected including Orderwire,
Diagnostics, Alarms and Aux Data (Service Channel). Consult Section 3.14 for details on
these connections.
