Components of a RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet Link or Sector Introduction
2.2 Components of a RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet
Link or Sector
2.2.1 Major Components of a PtMP Sector
A RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet Point-to-MultiPpoint sector consists of an HBS communicating with
up to 4 HSUs located within the beam of its antenna.
Figure 2-1: Sector Schematic: Main Components
Both the HBS and the HSUs communicate respectively, with the service provider and users
through PoE devices. The communication protocol for both the service provider and the
users is Ethernet.
Extended radial coverage can be achieved by setting up adjacent sectors using co-located
HBSs.
HBSs connected through a switch satisfying the following requirements
may be co-located at one site:
• L2 Managed Switch
• Must support GbE
• Does not support EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet), or
• If it does supports EEE, it should be according to the IEEE 802.3az
standard
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet User Manual Release 4.2 2-4
Major Components of a PtP Link Introduction
2.2.2 Major Components of a PtP Link
A RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet point-to-point link consists of a pair of outdoor radio transceivers
units (ODUs) using a MIMO 2x2/3x3, OFDM smart beam-forming integrated antenna. The
ODU itself is connected to a PoE device providing an Ethernet LAN connection to user
equipment.
2.2.3 Accessories
To build a SCB Jet link or sector you will require some of the following accessories:
• PoE devices
• Suitable L2 Switch for a co-located hub site (if using HSS Over Ethernet (HSSoE))
• ODU mounting kits
• Lightning protectors
• Ethernet repeaters
• CAT 5e cables of various lengths
• Grounding cables
2.2.4 Management Tools
RADWIN Manager
The RADWIN Manager is an SNMP-based management application which manages a
complete sector over a single IP address. It can also manage HSUs separately.
Other third party Element Managers may also be supported.
RADWIN Web Interface for Management
The Web Interface enables you to carry out basic link and sector management functions
using a Web browser.
It may be used to -
• Establish a link or sector on a minimal basis
• Check link parameters and make basic changes
• View the ODU Inventory
• Inspect the Recent Events logs
Full details are supplied in PtP: Using the Web Interface and PtMP: Using the Web Interface.
The release of the RADWIN Manager supplied with the SCB Jet series
cannot be used with earlier RADWIN radio products.

Chapter 3: Site Survey
3.1 Planning the Sector or Link Sites
3.1.1 Overview
This chapter relates primarily to planning Sector sites. For practical purposes, a Link Site
Survey may be treated as a Sector Site survey for one HSU. Obviously the numbers will be
different reflecting different throughputs for the two cases, however the Surveys will follow
the same procedure.
Sector site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any
equipment is deployed. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative,
HBS or HSU re-location will need to be considered.
A Site Survey consists of three stages:
1. Preliminary survey - The proposed sector is analyzed in the office using a topographic
map. You should use additional tools such as the RADWIN Radio Planner.
2. Physical survey - The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on-
site.
3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation area be scanned
with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel
for radio installation (on-site).
3.2 The Site Survey
3.2.1 Introduction
RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation sites
must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and
provide connectivity without signal degradation.
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel
must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.

3.2.2 Recommended Equipment
Stage 1: Preliminary Survey
• Topological map of the area
• Urban map of the area
• Compass
Stage 2: Physical Survey
• 100 meter tape measure
• Ohmmeter, to check ground connection
• Binoculars
• Map
• Digital camera
• Paper, pencil, and a clipboard
• GPS device (optional)
• Compass (optional)
Stage 3: RF Survey
• Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store
multiple images, for documentation purposes
• RF accessories (connectors and cables)
• Communication devices (for example, cellular phones, or a set of walkie-talkies)
3.3 Stage 1: Preliminary Survey
A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as
possible should be obtained about the designated ODU installation sites and the area
between them.
To perform a preliminary survey:
1. Mark the designated installation sites on a topographic map of the area.
2. Measure the distance between the sites; check that it is within the specified range
of the equipment.
3. On the urban map, check for developed areas situated between the installation
sites. Pay attention to these areas when performing the physical site survey; there
may be tall buildings, RF towers, or transmitters, which could cause interference to
a sector.
4. Check the area between the two sites for obstructions such as:
• High ground - hills or mountains
• Lakes or large bodies of water. Water has a reflection effect on RF signals like a
building. This type of reflection causes the received amplitude to be reduced. As a
rule of thumb, the presence of a large body of water between sector sites may double the required antenna height.
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet User Manual Release 4.2 3-3
Stage 2: Physical Survey Site Survey
5. Determine and record the compass bearings between HBS and the HSUs, relative to
north.
6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone
7. If the sites chosen do not meet requirements, consider alternative sites.
8. You may require a RADWIN Site Survey Kit to complete the task. Contact Customer
Support for further information.
3.4 Stage 2: Physical Survey
The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to
ensure that the sector sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical
site survey should be recorded.
In what follows, ODU may be an HBS or an HSU:
To perform a physical survey:
1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (horizontal position) that each HSU should face towards the HBS.
2. Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high buildings, hills or
mountains. Look for other RF towers between the two sites. Mark the locations of
the obstructions on the map.
3. Determine the location for the ODUs (having regard for existing rooftop
installations and tower space). They should be above any obstructions, considering
the Fresnel zone.
4. If you need to install any type of ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far
enough from overhead electric power lines.
5. Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as close as possible to
the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an equipment room with cablerouting channels.
6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from each ODU position to the
indoor equipment room.
It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any
obstructions between the two sites.
Outdoor CAT-5e; Maximum cable length: 100m for 10/100BaseT and 75m
for 1000BaseT (GbE PoEs)
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet User Manual Release 4.2 3-4
Additional Outdoor Site Requirements Site Survey
7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU
and PoE must both be grounded.
8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the required
installation to the grounding point. The resistance must be less than 1O ohm.
9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the
wireless network installation.
• If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey
• If the site is not suitable, survey another site
3.4.1 Additional Outdoor Site Requirements
The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60C (-31 to 140F).
3.4.2 Additional Indoor Site Requirements
The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to
90%, non condensing
3.5 Stage 3: RF Survey
The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the installation site, to determine
whether there are available channels within the radio operating frequency band. An RF
survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer.
It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site,
specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions.
You should perform the RF survey at each of the proposed sector sites.
The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge the worst-case
radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration for a good RF survey.
3.6 RF Planning for Dense Installations and Colocated Sites
Interference may arise from
• Self-interference from co-located RADWIN radios
• Other co-located radio devices installed on the same site.
To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations:
• For co-located RADWIN units, use Hub Site Synchronization to synchronize between
them.
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet User Manual Release 4.2 3-5
Additional Tools and Facilities Site Survey
• If one or more co-located units are not RADWIN units, ensure that there is a physical
separation of at least three meters between a RADWIN unit and any other co-located
radio on the site.
• Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units
• Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible from interference). You may be
able to change the band used for the sector - depending on HBS model and regulations.
• Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation interference
3.7 Additional Tools and Facilities
3.7.1 RADWIN Site Survey Kit for Small Cell Backhaul
The process in Stage 2: Physical Survey can be carried out more easily using the RADWIN Site
Survey Kit. This kit includes an HSU ready for use in the field. The radio is mounted on a high
precision tripod. The radio, based on the technology described in this Manual, has an

5.8 Choosing the Operating Mode - PtP or
PtMP
5.8.1 Choosing PtP Mode
The HBS for a new link or sector, “out of the box” from the factory is configured for PtP use. If
you only have one HSU, following Alignment and Commissioning you may continue with Link
Configuration.
In the RADWIN Manager, you will be able to switch the HBS between single and multiple HSU
mode.
Multiple HSU mode is Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP). Single HSU mode is specifically PtP as
distinct from a PtMP sector with one HSU.
When using a single HSU, the advantage of moving to single HSU mode is to remove the
overheads of multiple HSU management and to assign all of the 64 time slots to the one HSU.
The enhancement to throughput is significant.

Enable Unicode in Text fields: This allows you to write non-standard text in the various fields
you use. We do not recommend this because it would be difficult or
impossible to coordinate with systems and equipment that may not be able to
detect this text, and you could therefore lose connections.
Monitoring and Timeout Intervals: The monitoring interval determines the lowest interval
between requests to the unit for status updates. The timeout (default 1 sec,
maximum 5 sec) may have to be increased if you are on a slow network.
Map View Background Mode: You have a choice of two map providers, a default or a self-
chosen background. If you log on without an Internet connection, you will get

Chapter 6: Alignment and
Commissioning
6.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to align the HSU with its HBS, then carry out a throughput test
(Commissioning), using the WINTouch application.
At the HSU site, using WINTouch, you will follow its instructions and adjust the azimuth angle
of the HSU until WINTouch calculates the best angle.
6.2 Required Equipment
• Laptop PC
• CAT5e cable
• HBS: Configured and activated, as well as physically located according to your site plan.
• HSU: Physically installed in its location according to your site plan, but not registered to
its HBS.
6.3 Required Software
• WINTouch application, installed on the Laptop PC
• RADWIN Manager application, installed on the Laptop PC
6.4 Preparations Before You Start
• Connect your Laptop PC directly to the HSU (either via the CAT-5e cables or via an
external PoE as shown in Figure 6-1)
• Change the IP address and Subnet Mask of your Laptop PC to an appropriate value for
working with the HSU:
RADWIN 5000 SCB Jet User Manual Release 4.2 6-2
Alignment Procedure Alignment and Commissioning
Control Panel -> Open Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter Settings ->
double-click on Local Area Connection -> Properties -> select Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) -> Properties -> Use the following IP address -> 10.0.0.1 ->
Subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
Click OK, OK, and Close. Close Network and Sharing Center.
• Configure and activate the HBS (see Chapter 8, Link Configuration).
• Point the HBS to the area it is intended to cover (as determined by the sector plan).
Figure 6-1: Antenna Alignment Set-up
• Point the HSU towards the HBS.
• Tighten the screws for the elevation angle of the HSU, but leave the screws for the azi-
muth angle slightly loose. You will move the HSU in azimuth during the antenna alignment procedure.
• Connect the laptop to the HSU.
6.5 Alignment Procedure
The WINTouch application guides you in aligning the HSU with its HBS. It can also provide
throughput test results.
1. Make sure your Laptop PC is connected with the HSU, and that the HSU is not registered.
• You may have to ping the HSU to verify a connection (instructions for this are the
same as that for an HBS - see Verify Connectivity to an HBS on page 5-2)
