Field Installation
Introduction
The information in this chapter is intended for qualified installers only.
Before you begin to install equipment in the field, you should develop a network plan, prepare the
customer site, and configure the equipment. The network plan describes the proposed system,
including a link budget, detailed list of all required hardware, Libra units (RD & ER for P-P links;
LCPE, CPE and Access Point for P-MP), antenna locations, cable routing, equipment configuration
settings, and other network requirements. (Wi-LAN offers Network Planning and Site Preparation
support. For more information on services and fees contact your Sales Representative or visit http://
www.wi-lan.com). Network planning should include visits to proposed sites to verify the feasibility of
the network plan and work out the details. Installers will use the network plan document to guide
them through final site preparation, installation, configuration and field testing of each unit. You can
see that a large amount of planning and preparation work is required before equipment is ready to
install. The better the preparation work, the more problem-free the field installation will be.
WARNING
All antennas and equipment must be installed by a knowledgeable and
professional installer.
NOTE: WI-LAN RECOMMENDS THE USE OF LIGHTNING SUPRESSORS IN
ALL INSTALLATION.
