Libra 5800 field installation
This section discusses how to install, configure and test a Libra 5800 in the field.
Before you can install Libra equipment in the field
• All units should be configured as described in Configuration , page 27
• Site preparation work must be complete
• Ensure all necessary tools and equipment are available
Site preparation
Site preparation involves checking actual customer site conditions and ensuring that the site is ready
for Libra installation. Each site is unique, however the following guidelines are provided.
1. Obtain a customer site plan or make a site plan. This document should describe where to place
the Libra unit, what kind of equipment to use, and the required configuration settings of the unit.
2. Cables should always be connected without exceeding their recommended bend radius.
3. Ensure that there is enough room for ventilation.
4. Confirm that AC power and Ethernet access are available.
5. Inspect the recommended Libra location to determine the following.
• the mounting structure is suitable
• LOS and Fresnel Zone clearances can be met. Because of OFDM’s superior Non Line of Sight
performance these requirements will not be as stringent as for other systems.
• location of the Libra is acceptable
6. Check cable routes and entry and exit points to ensure that they are practical.
