HARDWARE INSTALLATION AND
BASIC INTERFACE
REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Introduction
Installation of the LEDR radio transceiver is not difficult, but it does
require some planning to ensure optimal efficiency and reliability. There
are two major installation objectives; first, obtain good radio communi-
cations between LEDR sites, and second, configure the data interface to
complement your data equipment.
This section provides information to assist you in successfully com-
pleting the first phase of installation. You will find tips for selecting an
appropriate site, choosing antennas and feedlines, minimizing the
chance of interference, and the basics of equipment installation. This
material should be reviewed before beginning the radio hardware equip-
ment installation.
When the radio installation is successfully complete, you will need to
address the data interface and operational configuration of the LEDR
radio. It is likely that the radio has been configured by the factory to
meet your basic data interface requirements. Please review the factory
documentation accompanying your shipment for the radios current con-
figuration.
What ever your situation, it is recommended you review the material in
the rest of the manual to gain insight to additional configuration options
and user functions.
3.2 General Requirements
There are four main requirements for installing the radio transceiver—a
suitable installation environment, adequate and stable primary power, a
good antenna system, and the correct interface between the transceiver
and the external data equipment.
