Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual

Features

Wireless Link

WinLink 1000 delivers up to 48 Mbps data rate for Ethernet and E1/T1
traffic. The system supports a variety of spectrum bands and can be
configured to operate in any channel on the band with a carrier step
resolution of 5 MHz.

WinLink 1000 operation complies with ETSI, CSA and the FCC 47CFR
Part 15 and subpart C and E requirements.

WinLink 1000 employs Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission. This
technology simplifies the installation and configuration procedure.
There is no need to plan and to allocate separate channels for the
uplink and downlink data streams.
Operation over 2.4GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5.x GHz bands is not affected by
harsh weather conditions, such as fog, heavy rain etc.

LAN Interface

The WinLink 1000 LAN port provides 10/100BaseT interfaces with auto
negotiation and transparent VLAN support. Traffic handling is provided
by a MAC-level self-learning bridge.

TDM Interface

The WinLink 1000 TDM interface accepts E1 or T1 traffic, supporting
the following:

• Unframed operation (E1 and T1)

• AMI and B8ZS zero suppression (T1).

Management

WinLink 1000 has full local and remote management capabilities. The
user-friendly SNMP-based management tool provides full end-to-end
configuration, event log and performance monitoring capabilities.

Diagnostics and Performance Monitoring

WinLink 1000 supports activating local and remote loopbacks on E1/T1
links.

1-2 Overview

WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

WinLink 1000 constantly monitors the data transmission process,
evaluates received signal strength, and signal quality. It also monitors
received traffic and frame rate (FPS) for local and remote units.

Optional External Antenna

WinLink 1000 supports configuration of an external antennae. In this
configuration, the radio supplies an N-type connector that connects
through a coax cable to the external antenna.

An external antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some
cases, it might help to reduce environmental interferences. Various
external antennae are available for the WinLink 1000 operating
frequencies.

For example, an optional flat panel 28 dBi external antenna increases
the operation range of WinLink 1000 up to 80 km (50 miles).

• Indoor Unit (IDU): There are two types of IDU cages. IDU-E that is a

plastic box of ½ x 19 in. and IDU-C that is based on a metal 19in.
box address the carrier-class applications. IDU is the interface unit
between the ODU and the user. It converts 100–240 VAC to

-48VDC, and feeds the ODU by it. The IDU does not store any
configuration data. Therefore, there is no need for additional
configuration of the WinLink 1000 system when replacing an IDU.

2.2 Site Requirements and Prerequisites

For the IDU, allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for
operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in)
clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables.

The ambient operating temperature should be –45°C to 60°C/-49°F to
140°F (ODU), or -5°C to 45°C/23°F to 113°F (IDU) at a relative humidity
of up to 90%, non-condensing.

Before starting the installation, use the

Link Budget Calculator

utility to
calculate expected performance of the link. You can vary parameter
inputs to the calculator to determine the optimum system
configuration. The utility is described in

Appendix C

Mounting the ODU

The ODU is the transmitting and receiving element of the WinLink 1000
system. The ODU can be mounted on a mast or a wall. In both
installations, the supplied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU.

Appendix B

A WinLink 1000 link operates in pairs of two WinLink 1000 systems
with the same configuration. Both systems must be installed, and the
antennas of the outdoor units must be aligned for maximum
throughput.

2-4 Installation and Setup

Figure 2-1. Typical Installation Diagram

describes the mast/wall installation instructions.

WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal
(screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground
conductor or to a grounded mast.

Warning

Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should
climb the antenna mast. Only trained professional installers should be
used when installing or dismantling ODUs and masts.

Î

To mount the ODU:

1. Verify that the ODU mounting brackets are properly grounded.

2. Attach the ODU unit to the mast. Refer to

mounting instructions.

3. Connect the ground cable to the chassis point on the ODU.

4. Attach the ODU cable to the RJ-45 connector. Refer to

for the connector pinout.

5. Secure the cables to the mast or brackets using provided UV-rated

cable ties.

6. Repeat the procedure at the remote site.

Do not tightly secure the ODU to its mounting brackets, until the
alignment process of the antenna is complete.

When installing the ODU, it is important to check that there are no
direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made
obstacles.

Connecting the ODU to the IDU

Appendix B

for the ODU

Appendix A

The ODU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and the
ODU. The ODU cable also provides -48 VDC supply to the ODU. The
maximum length for one leg of the ODU cable is 100m (328 ft) in
accordance with10/100BaseT standards.

ODU cable is supplied pre-assembled with RJ-45 connectors, at the
length specified when ordering. If the ODU cable was not ordered, use
Cat. 5e shielded cable, the wiring specifications are given in

Appendix A

1. Route the cable from the ODU location into the building, leaving

some spare. Secure the cable along its path.
