This section of the manual presents a basic overview of the steps required to install the
AN-50 terminal, outdoor transceiver, antenna and associated equipment.
Figure 7 below illustrates the primary system components and cables. The power cord
connects to a 110/220/240 VAC standard power outlet, while the CAT 5/UTP cable (not
included) connects the terminal to the data network via a standard 10/100BaseT
Ethernet connection. The provided IF cable connects the terminal (located indoors) to
the T-58 Transceiver (located outdoors), and carries the transmitted and received signal,
DC power for the AN-50 radio, as well as control and reference signals. Note that the
provided IF cable is meant for exterior use, and should be used for only minimal interior
runs to connect to the terminal. Also note that the BNC connectors are for future use.
Figure 7: AN-50 System Installation
The terminal is for indoor installation only, while the transceiver and antenna (together
known as the AN-50 Radio) are mounted externally. The principal steps in installation
are:
1. Conduct a general site survey
2. Install the transceiver and antenna
3. Install the IF cable
4. Install the AN-50 terminal
5. Align the antenna
Each step is addressed in more detail below.
