Installation Guide
AN-30e & AN-50e Systems
2.2 Antenna
Alignment
Obtain accurate antenna pointing azimuth and elevation angles for each
installation site. This will allow approximate alignment of the two antennas by
using GPS or magnetic compasses.
2.3
Unpacking the AN-30e/AN-50e System
The system comes packaged with the following items:
- Indoor terminal and mounting brackets
- T-54 or T-58 transceiver
- Antenna and mounting bracket
- RF and IF cables
- AC and/or DC power cables
- Optional items (such as lightning protectors)
- Documentation
CD-ROM
A complete list of items included in the system is available on the packing list
included with the system.
2.4 Adaptive
Modulation
AN-30e System
It is recommended to initially install and test the AN-30e as a data-only system (no
TDM traffic) with adaptive modulation enabled. This setting will allow for easier
antenna setup and alignment as the wireless equipment can establish a connection
using any available modulation and coding scheme.
When the system is completely installed and operating at the required stability and
throughput, adaptive modulation should be disabled before running live TDM
traffic over the wireless. With adaptive modulation enabled, temporary
interference could cause the AN-30e system to switch to a modulation/coding
scheme that does not support the required throughput level for the TDM traffic.
AN-50e System
It is recommended to initially install and test the AN-50e with adaptive modulation
enabled. This setting will allow for easier antenna setup and alignment as the
wireless equipment can establish a connection using any available modulation and
coding scheme.
