Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone
wiring or to other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when
printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures
The network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, and wireless modem cards consist of
a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding,
connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the network processing
engine, I/O controller, port adapters, and wireless modem cards by their carrier edges and handles;
never touch the printed circuit board when handling either component.
Safety Guidelines
Figure8 shows the location of a printed circuit board when it is installed in a network processing
engine, I/O controller, or CiscouBR7200 series modem card metal carrier. Do not touch the printed
circuit board when handling either component.
Figure8Handling the Cisco uBR7200 Series Wireless Modem Cards—Side View
Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive
antistatic strap whenever handling the network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or
wireless modem cards. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact and connect the strap’s clip to
an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
CautionMake sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, the
I/O controller, and the wireless modem cards (use a number2 Phillips screwdriver). These screws
prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the
network processing engine, I/O controller, and modem cards are properly seated in the router
midplane.

Removing and Installing a Wireless Modem Card
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap when installing or replacing the network processing
engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or modem cards. Ensure that the ESD strap makes contact
with your skin.
• Handle the network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or modem cards by their
metal carrier edges and handles only; avoid touching the printed circuit board components or any
connector pins.
• When removing the network processing engine, I/O controller, port adapters, or wireless modem
cards, place them on an antistatic surface with the printed circuit board components facing
upward, or in a static shielding bag. If you are returning an I/O controller, network processing
engine, port adapter, or modem card to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
CautionPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
within the range of 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Wiring the DC Power
Follow the procedures in this section to wire the DC power.
NoteThe color coding of DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC
power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground, black is used for +48V
(return), and red or white is used for –48V. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the
DC-input power supply matches lead color coding at the DC power source.
WarningBefore working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including
rings, necklaces, and watches). metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and
can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
WarningBefore performing any of the following procedures, ensure that the power is removed
from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board
that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch
handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Wiring the DC Power
Wiring the DC power consists of attaching the wires of the DC power source to a removable wiring
block, then plugging that block into the connection on the power feed panel. Refer to Figure19 and
Figure20 and follow these steps.
Step1Ensure that the leads are disconnected from the power source.
WarningThe Illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply
using the appropriate wire terminations at the wiring end, as illustrated. The proper wiring sequence
is ground to ground, positive to positive (line to +), and negative to negative (neutral to –). Note that
the ground wire should always be connected first and disconnected last.
WarningWhen stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop
or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires
and should clamp both the insulation and the conductor.
Step2Ensure that the power switch for both the main and diversity ODU are in the OFF (0)
position. (See Figure18.)

Installing an Outdoor Unit
Installing an outdoor unit (ODU) requires the installation of the duplexor assembly prior to
mounting the ODU either on an antenna pole or on a wall.
Installing the Duplexor in the Outdoor Unit
The duplexor acts as a filter for Tx/Rx isolation. The duplexor assembly is shipped as a separate unit
based on the RF channel plan you have selected for your installation.

Selecting the Transmit and Receive Frequencies
Use the channel-setup parameters to select the required bandwidth and data throughput prior to
specifying the operating-band.
Transmit and receive frequencies must fall within the specified bank (UNII or MMDS), must be
consistent with the bandwidth the radio has been configured to operate in using the channel-setup
command. The following tables provide center frequencies for the different bands. Transmit and
receive frequencies must both be selected from one of the tables.
The transmit frequency on the master radio must be identical to the receive frequency on the slave
radio.
NoteAlthough all the possible frequencies are listed in the tables, the actual list of frequencies
available for use will be determined by the installed RF hardware. Use the show controller interface
radio command to determine these capabilities and select appropriate transmit and receive
frequencies.
The MMDS band is divided into two frequency bands:
• The lower frequency band is between 2150 and 2162 MHz (Table7).
• The upper frequency band is between 2500 and 2690 MHz (Table8).

show interfaces (LinkMetrics)
Link metrics represents parameters measured during the operation/non-operation of the radio link
that provide a quantitative measure of how well the radio link is performing over time. All link
metrics are measured in terms of Codewords. A Codeword is a unit of data transmission over the
radio link. It contains information such as user’s data, error correction, and collation information so
that successive Codewords may be reconstructed at the receiving end into the user’s data.
There are two classes of link metrics:
1 Metrics that quantify how the link performed since the system was powered on:
show interface radio <slot/port> linkMetrics
(provides information since power on)
show interface radio <slot/port> 24HrMetrics
(provides information for the past 24 hours)
2 Metrics that quantify how the link performed when the two ends of the link were synchronized:
show interface radio <slot/port> radio 1HrMetrics [delta] [numVals]
(provides details for the last 24 hours)
show interface radio <slot/port> radio 1MinMetrics [delta] [numVals]
(provides details for the last 60 minutes)
show interface radio <slot/port> radio 1SecMetrics [delta] [numVals]
(provides details for the last 60 seconds)
show interface radio <slot/port> radio 1TickMetrics [delta] [numVals]
(provides details for the last N hardware ticks)
Three categories of metrics are maintained by the radio link’s software and hardware:
1 Cumulative metrics where only one set is maintained for the entire collection period.
LinkMetrics and 24HrMetrics are in this category.
2 Cumulative metrics where a table of values is maintained, providing metrics relating to the time
period when the two ends of the link are synchronized. 1HrMetrics and 1MinMetrics are in this
category.
3 Cumulative metrics where a table of values is maintained, providing metrics maintained by the
hardware which is used to derive the information in categories 1 and 2. 1SecMetrics and
1TickMetrics are in this category.
