2.1.1
Physical and Environmental Requirements
Each EtherHaul ODU site should adhere to the following requirements:
There must be a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight between ODU.
The EtherHaul ODU should be mounted on a fixed, stable, permanent
structure. A reinforced steel mounting pole is required, with a diameter
measuring from 2-4 inches (1ft antenna) or 2-4.5 inches (2ft antenna).
Caution:
Do not mount the EtherHaul device on a structure that is temporary or easily moved.
Doing so may result in poor service or equipment damage.
You must mount the EtherHaul ODU in a site that is easily accessible to
authorized personnel, and only authorized personnel.
Operating temperature: between -45° and +55°C.
Relative humidity: 0 to 100%.
Maximum altitude: 4,500m.
Ingress Protection rating: IP67.
2.1.2
Cabling Requirements
Ensure that your power connection cable matches the EtherHaul power
connector pin-outs.
Install the EtherHaul ODU where network connections and optional power
cabling are ready for operation and easily accessible.
All cabling connected to the ODU should be outdoor-grade, with UV
protection.
Use a two-wire cable (14-18 AWG) to connect the power supply to the ODU.
You should use shielded outdoor Cat5e cables terminated with metallic RJ45
connectors.
In order to protect indoor equipment, you must install surge protection
circuits on all copper cables on their entrance to the building.
Install the EtherHaul ODU in a location where proper electrical outdoor
grounding is readily available. Typically, the grounding connection is
attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already present, then suitable
structure-to-earth grounding connections must be created before
installation. Ground the ODU using a minimum quantity of 16AWG
grounding cable or according to local electrical code.
Caution:
Improper electrical grounding can result in excessive electromagnetic interference or
electrical discharge.
