of 100 meters applies to the total length of the cabling between the radio terminal and the first
network-aware connection (such as a switch or router).
Initial Configuration and Back-to-Back Bench Test
Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance
evaluation over the full operating temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it
is strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that are much more difficult to perform once the
radio link endpoints are distant from one another. A back-to-back bench test and pre-configuration will
provide confidence that the radio link is operational and properly configured
prior to installation, so
that if troubleshooting is necessary, the radio hardware and configuration settings are eliminated from
the troubleshooting process. Verify the following in the back-to-back testing:
•
Confirm that the radio system is generally operational
– Radios power-up with planned power and wiring solutions
– Regulatory Domain Key (RDK) entry successful
– Radio firmware version matches on each terminal (and is ideally the latest version)
– Upgrade license key entry successful
– RF link connects in both directions
– Traffic passes across the link
– Configure connected equipment and cabling
– Test Ethernet (CAT5e) cabling, and/or T1/E1 cabling, any auxiliary connector cabling and
configure all interfaces
– Configure IP settings for configuration and management
– Configure passwords and security modes
– Become familiar with the configuration and management interfaces through the Exalt GUI
interface
– Configure radio parameters
– Set transmitter output power to engineered or allowed level (see RF Output Power Setting )
– Set operating center frequency
– Set link distance, occupied channel bandwidth, and frame length
•
Make detailed radio performance measurements
Note: Exalt radios with the RDK function are DISABLED when initially shipped. To
ENABLE the radio, a valid RDK must be entered on the Administration Settings Page page of
the Exalt GUI. The RDK references the unit's serial number and is provided based on the
country and/or region where the radio system will be deployed. The RDK is obtained
www.exaltcom.com/activate.htm . First time user-account registration is required.
Note: Some countries require Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), which delays the
transmitter turn-on time during the initial Channel Availability Check period of 1 minute. In
accordance with these regulations, the radios boot up, and then wait for 1 minute before
linking.
