3. Step-by-step Guide
This chapter will guide you step by step through the basic link preparation, installation and configuration.
A brief description of all those steps in a picture form can be found in
(the introductory
chapter to this manual). Its shortened version is printed on the cardboard holding each delivered unit
inside each transport box.
For detailed description of all possible functionality of the unit see other chapters, mainly:

Default settings for
are chosen to allow delivered units to automatically establish a link
without unpacking RAy3 units from the box. It is enough to open the boxes and power both RAy units
up (by PoE or DC power supplies). It allows users to comfortably set up basic parameters necessary
for the installation in the lab and thus shorten the time on the tower or roof to a minimum. Following
text provides a guide how to optimally arrange the workplace, how to setup the link and which parameters
are good to be set up before the installation outside.
Default factory settings define the initial link to be established on the most narrow channel, strongest
modulation and lowest available RF Output power (in RAy3-17 and RAy3-24 case those are 3.5 MHz
channel, QPSK_S modulation and TX power = -30 dBm). Complete default settings for all models are
described in
Chapter 9, Technical parameters
Note
RAy3 default factory settings allow to install both units on the mast and establish the very short
link without prior manual configuration. Typically, TX power has to be increased to a reasonable
level (or even to a maximum) before link alignment, because default value of 'Max TX power'
is too low for the reasonable distance.
