If needed, before starting this procedure, see Figure 36, “Beam Steering Antenna RF Connections” and
Figure 37, “RF Connections on the Hub Module” for connector locations. To connect the cables between
the Hub Module (HM) and the Beam Steering Antenna, follow these steps:
1.
Connect the SPI cable from the Beam Steering Antenna SPI Connector to the X-1200 hub module SPI
Connector. Thread the connector from one end of the SPI cable onto the connector on the Beam
Steering Antenna. Thread the other end of the SPI cable onto the SPI connector on the Hub Module.
Finger tighten the connections.
2.
Connect the RF cables from the Beam Steering Antenna to the RF connectors on the X-1200 hub
module. You need to attach the RF cables to the corresponding connectors on the HM and the Beam
Steering Antenna -- Licensed band or Unlicensed band.
RF1: Radio Frequency Licensed Band
RF2: Radio Frequency Licensed Band
RF3: Radio Frequency Unlicensed Band
RF4: Radio Frequency Unlicensed Band
Thread the connector from one end of the RF cable onto the RF
x
connector on the Beam Steering
Antenna. Thread the other end of the RF cable onto the corresponding RF
x
connector on the Hub
Module; for instance, connect RF1 (licensed) on the Beam Steering Antenna with RF1 (licensed) on
the HM, RF3 (unlicensed) with the RF3 (unlicensed) on the HM, etc. Finger tighten the connections.
3.
Align the Beam Steering Antenna by pointing it geographically toward the target location/signal by
using the azimuth, elevation and/or the antenna brackets (if needed, see section 7.1, “Adjusting the
Hub Module”). Use a torque wrench to evenly tighten down the bolts and finish the installation of
the assembly (do not over tighten). Follow the Torque setting for the bracket(s) that you adjusted:
Table 7, “Recommended Torque Values for Elevation Bracket Bolts”
Table 8, “Recommended Torque Values for Azimuth Bracket Bolts”
Table 15, “Recommended Torque Values for Antenna Bracket Bolts”
4.
As required, dress any cabling. If needed, see section 6.11, “Cable Management” for more
information.
