To connect user equipment to the PoE device:
• Connect a user switch, router or any other compatible device to the PoE
device RJ-45 port designated LAN-IN. Refer to appendix

Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas
You perform antenna alignment using the ODU's audible tone.
To speed up the installation time, alignment of a RADWIN 1000/2000/5000
system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site A and at
site B.
To align ODUs with integrated antennas or external bipolar antennas:
1. For external bipolar antennas: Using a coax cable with N-Type connec-
tors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the
ANT 1 connector of the ODU.
2. For external bipolar antennas: Using a coax cable with N-Type connec-
tors, connect the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the
ANT 2 connector of the ODU.
3. Ensure that power is connected to the IDUs at both sites.
4. Ensure normal operation of the IDUs by the LED indications on the front
panel.
Provided that site A detects the signal from site B, the ODU starts beep-
ing 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until the ODUs are
aligned, and the installation is complete.
In the following steps, “antenna” refers both to an external antenna and
an integrated antenna.
5. Direct the antenna of site B in the direction of site A. This is simplified if
a previous site survey has been completed and azimuths are known.
6. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the site A antenna so that
the strongest signal from site B can be detected.
Note
Do not connect two LAN ports to the same network, or flooding may occur.
Warning
When aligning the antennas, do not stand in front of a live antenna.
