The ODU is fully IP 67 outdoor rated and all network/management and power connectors can be easily
accessed via a clear and detachable access panel cover. The transparent cover also allows the see all
network port status indicators. The ODU can be easily removed from the antenna waveguide by
releasing 4 spring loaded latches. The ODU is the same for both, the 1 foot and the 2 foot antenna
system. By rotating the ODU 90 degrees the polarization can be changed easily. Chapter 4 describes
the ODU Networking, Service and Power Connections in more detail.
1.2.3 External Antennas and Mounting Brackets
Depending on the system ordered, the AireLink™ 60is shipped either with a high performance high
gain 12” or 24” parabolic Cassegrain antenna. The mounting and alignment bracket is the same for
both antennas. Fig. 1-7 shows the 12” (top) and 24” (bottom) system. For illustrative purposes the
systems are shown with and without the ODU attached.

The antenna is equipped with a robust side pole mounting and alignment bracket. The bracket easily
attaches to a vertical structure with pole diameters from 2.5…4.0 inches (65…110 mm). The pole
mounted alignment bracket is shown in Fig. 1-8. Also shown are the locations of the horizontal and
vertical alignment screws.
