Performing outdoor testing
Before carrying out outdoor testing make sure that the equipment is properly
configured and tested in the lab. If you use outdoor equipment please prepare
service cables to connect IDU and ODU and check them in the lab. Also the
following accessories may be very useful while outdoor testing:
1. InfiNet Console cable to perform configuration of the rooftops/masts etc
2. Binoculars to locate the opposite side
3. Mobile phones at either side to coordinate each others actions
4. Screwdrivers set
5. Soldering iron in case if you have to fix some problems with connectors.
6. Voltage analyzer to reveal cable problems if any
When planning your outdoor testing it is
strongly recommended
to perform
calculations using:
•
Speed/Range Calculator
•
Fade Margin Calculator
Both of these calculators are located on InfiNet Wireless web-site
www.infinetwireless.com
in the “Support” section.
How-to-use instructions are located in the Technical User Manual on the CD
delivered with the equipment.

Distance setting
For outdoor testing/deployment it is vitally important to set up distance
parameter correctly. The recommended procedure is the following:
1.
If the you have a PTP topology, on the BS you set up the distance to the
CPE in kilometers.
It is required to set up a bit bigger distance.
Setting up a smaller distance may cause errors on the link
. At the
CPE set up distance as
auto
2.
In case of PTM topology on BS set up the distance to the
remotest
CPE. On
every CPE set up distance as
auto
Distance parameter is set up using
rf
command:
rf rf4.0 distance <VALUE>
2.
Learning link status/antenna alignment procedure
In order to install the equipment, please do the following:
1.
Install ODU and antenna at the roof top/mast etc. Connect ODU and antenna
using RF cable. If the link is just for testing usage make sure that it is not
going to rain or snow (because in this case you do not have to seal the
connectors).
2.
Even in test link it is highly recommended to provide all grounding. Ground
the ODU to the mast/building grounding contour
3.
Usually when installing ODU at the top, the ODU-IDU service cable is already
connected to the ODU.
4.
Connect ODU-IDU cable to IDU indoors
5.
Provide IDU grounding to the LAN grounding contour
6.
Connect power cable to IDU and plug this cable into the power socket
