6.2 Choosing a Location for the IDU
An ideal location for the IDU should be:
1. Within distance of the IDU/ODU cable (10m or 30m)
2. In a dry location.
3. Within close proximity to the digital and analog interface.
4. Close to AC/DC power.
5. Close to ground location.
Shock Hazard
WARNING
The Indoor Unit (IDU) contains low voltage that may cause serious injury if opened. Do not,
under any conditions, open or dismantle the IDU. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious injury or death.
System Connections for Temporary Setup
7. How to Connect the System
1. Prior to connecting the ODU/IDU cable, the metal RJ-45 connector must be grounded before connecting
to the ODU or IDU. Use the strap wire/electrical clips (alligator clips) to connect the metal RJ-45 to ground
connection (not an existing electrical system ground). This is to prevent any static discharge that may have
built up in the line prior to installation. Be careful not to damage the RJ-45 connector.
2. Connect the 9-pin circular connector on the interface cable to the ODU receptacle on the bottom of the
ODU.
Note:
you can use the ODU shipping container as a temporary platform to support the ODU and to provide
clearance for the connector and cable by cutting a small hole on the cardboard box. Elevate the ODU to the
approximate intended install height and use a temporary platform to hold the unit. The orientation of the
ground lug is important as the testing software will use this direction as “aft”. For your install location, orient
the ODU so that the ground lug points to your “aft” or “rear” of your facility or location.
3. Connect the supplied ground cable from the ODU to the ground connection (see. Figure 12). Torque bolt on
ODU to 10-12ft-lbs.
4. Route the ODU/IDU cable to a location where Mains power is available. Tape the cable to reduce any trip
hazard during the temporary operation of the system.
5. Remove the “installation cover” on the IDU. Remove the electrical clips from the RJ-45 connector and
connect the interface cable and the green connector from the power module. You can leave the cover off at
this time.
6. Remove the SIM cover and install the SIM noting the correct orientation as indicated on the unit. Close the
SIM latch and make sure the power switch is in the off position. Leave the SIM cover off during the test.
7. Connect the mains cable to the power module and connect the other end to a Mains power outlet. The LED
on the power module should light and the Power LED on the IDU should light.
8. Connect a cable from the IDU “Data” port to the RJ-45 connector on the lap top computer.
9. Connect the RJ-11 cable from “Voice 1” on the IDU to a phone handset ( user supplied).
