Set the RF Frequency (GHz) parameter to the designed point. The value of this setting is
determined in the design/engineering stage. RF Frequency must match at both ends of the
link. It may be critical to set RF Frequency with respect to the local RF noise and
interference profiles, and/or in relation to any multi-link network design.
The frequency selection section includes the ability to select from either the complete list of
frequencies (“All”) that can be tuned for the selected band and bandwidth, or a pre-selected
list of non-overlapping center frequencies (“Preferred”) that Exalt determined provides the
most flexible collocation opportunities for large networks of Exalt radios
The frequency selection section includes a band selection button that must be enabled for the
frequency band of operation for which the link was engineered. In some cases, some bands
may not be selectable due to regulatory constraints.
Changing RF Frequency will temporarily interrupt traffic. The RF
Frequency parameter setting must match at each end.
Adjust the far-end radio
first, and then the near-end radio. If the RF Frequency parameter is changed to a
frequency with interference, the link may be lost and unrecoverable through GUI
control. If the link is lost due to changing the RF Frequency parameter, travel to
the radio location(s) may be required to reset the value.
•
Set the Endpoint Identifier so that one end of the link is set to Radio A and the opposite end
set to Radio B. In single-link networks, it is unimportant which end is designated A or B. In
multi-link networks, however, it may be important to orient the links so that at any
collocation site (where there are multiple radios of the same type at the same site), all radios
are set to the same Endpoint Identifier (A or B). See Link Orientation and Synchronization
on page 15.
Changing Endpoint Identifier parameter requires a reboot of the radio to take
effect. The reboot temporarily interrupts traffic.
•
Set the Link Distance (miles) parameter to the range that is equal to or greater than the actual
link distance. The value of this setting is determined in the design/engineering stage.
Changing Link Distance parameter will temporarily interrupt traffic.
The
Link Distance setting must match at each end and must not be less than the actual
link distance. Adjust the far-end radio first, and then the near-end radio. If the
Link Distance parameter is changed to a setting less than the actual distance, the
link may be lost and unrecoverable through GUI control. If the link is lost due to
this situation, travel to the radio location(s) may be required to reset the value. If
the Link Distance parameter setting is set to a distance unnecessarily higher than
the actual link distance, the radio may have substantially reduced performance
with respect to throughput and latency.
•
Set the TDD Frame Size (ms) parameter to the designed level. The value of this setting is
determined in the design/engineering stage. The TDD Frame Size parameter must match at
both ends of the link. The TDD Frame Size parameter setting directly relates to the capacity,
