Planning the Link Site

Overview

Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, site re-location will need to be considered.

A Site Survey consists of three stages:

1. Preliminary survey - The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map.

2. Physical survey - The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on-site.

Chapter 2

Site Preparation

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).

The Site Survey

Introduction

RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation site must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation.

WinLink™ 1000 offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.

Recommended Equipment

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

• Topological map of the area

• Urban map of the area

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 2-1

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey Chapter 2

•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)

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as possible should be obtained about the two designated ODU installation sites and the area between them.

¾ To perform a preliminary survey:

1. Mark the two 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 two 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 the link.

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 the link sites may double the required antenna height.

5. Determine and record the compass bearings between both ODUs, relative to north.

6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see Appendix B for details).

7. If the site chosen does not meet requirements, consider alternative sites.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 2-2

Stage 2: Physical Survey Chapter 2

8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the equipment or using the RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance.

Stage 2: Physical Survey

The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to ensure that the link sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical site survey should be recorded.

It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any obstructions between the two sites.

Note

¾ To perform a physical survey:

1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (horizontal position) that the ODU should face towards the second ODU.

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.

Note

3. Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone (see Appendix B).

4. If you need to install the ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far away 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 cable-routing channels.

The IDU - ODU cable length limit is 100m, in accordance with IEEE 10/ 100BaseT standards.

6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from the ODU position to the indoor equipment room.

7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU and IDU 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

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 2-3

Additional Outdoor Site Requirements Chapter 2

Additional Outdoor Site Requirements

The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60°C (-31 to 140°F).

Additional Indoor Site Requirements

The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system:

• For IDU-C units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clearance for operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 “) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables

• The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to 90%, non condensing

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.

Note

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 both proposed link 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.

It is possible to install the link and use the RADWIN Manager to find a clear channel. Each frequency channel can be evaluated in turn. Achievement of a clear channel is indicated by the marker in the Quality bar on the Channel Setting window (see Figure 5-5) moving into the green area.

Chapter 3

Hardware Installation

This chapter sets out the requirements and procedures for the hardware installation and alignment of a WinLink™ 1000 link in accordance with the prior planning as set out in Chapter 2. It is intended to guide qualified field technicians.

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. RADWIN and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

The material in this chapter is generic to all RADWIN radio link products unless stated otherwise.

Safety Practices

Preventing overexposure to RF energy

To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain minimal separation distances from all persons.

When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The ODU must not be deployed in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.

Grounding

All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition:

•The ODU should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least

12AWG.

The WinLink™ 1000 ODU must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the user's responsibility to install the

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-1

Protection against Lightning Chapter 3

equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit. It also lays down the size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes.

The WinLink™ 1000 ODU must be grounded to a Protective Earth as described in Appendix C and in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.

• The earth lug on the IDU-C should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets.

Further, you should -

• Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last

• Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment

• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground

More detailed guidelines are supplied in Appendix C.

Protection against Lightning

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All of RADWIN outdoor units are designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

See Appendix C for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

General

• It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.

• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, you should remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.

• Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.

• Use extreme care when working at heights.

• When using an AC power source for WinLink™ 1000 always use the AC power adapter supplied by RADWIN.

• Use the right tools. In addition to standard tools required for any kind of ODU or antenna installation, WinLink™ 1000 requires additional specific tools detailed on page 3-6 below.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-7

Outdoor installation Chapter 3

Outdoor installation

Preparing the ODU before Deployment

Each ODU must be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior to deployment in the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process is quite straight-forward and described in Appendix D.

Mounting the ODU

The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU.

A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.

Note

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

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 pole.

Warning

• Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should climb the antenna mast

• Only qualified professional personnel should install or dismantle ODUs and masts

¾ To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:

1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.

2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top,

water may penetrate into the unit causing damage.)

3. Refer to Appendix A for detailed ODU mounting kit contents and schematics.

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

Note

Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made obstacles.

Mounting external antennas

If you are using ODU with an integrated antenna, skip to Mounting the

Lightning Protection Devices below.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-8

Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices Chapter 3

The supplied mounting kit is used to mount the antenna onto a pole. The antennas must be aligned for maximum throughput.

Do not stand in front of a live antenna.

Warning

¾ To mount an external antenna:

1. To mount an external antenna, ensure that the antenna is properly grounded and then mount the antenna onto the pole. Refer to Appen-

dix A for detailed antenna mounting instructions.

2. Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.

Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. The WinLink™ 1000 ODU is designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

Refer to Appendix C for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

Outdoor Connections

¾ To complete the outdoor connections:

1. Connect the ground cable to the ODU chassis as marked on the ODU.

2. Connect the antenna cable to the ODU.

3. Connect the lightning protection device to the ODU (see Appendix C).

4. Attach the ODU-IDU cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector (see Appendix K for the connector pinout)

5. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU.

6. Secure the cables to the pole, mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties.

Indoor Installation

Installing IDU-E and R units

IDU-E Installation

The IDU-E can be wall mounted, placed on a desktop or take up one half of a 1u rack slot. The unit should be grounded, cabled to the ODU and connected to power using the supplied AC/DC adapter.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-9

Mounting the IDU-C Chapter 3

Figure 3-11: Typical IDU-E Rear Panel

IDU-R Installation

Figure 3-12: IDU-R Rear Panel

Installation of an IDU-R unit differs from other IDU models in one respect: At the rear of the IDU-R (see Figure 3-12) there are two jacks labeled “Trunks”. For each IDU-R, the E1 cable from outside should be plugged into one of the trunks, and the E1 cable to the other station should be plugged into the second trunk, as in the left hand side of Figure 1-14.

Apart from the above difference, the link installation including the remaining part of the IDU installation and connection to the ODU proceeds as described as above.

Mounting the IDU-C

The WinLink™ 1000 IDU-Cs are all rack mountable, as shown in Figure 3-

13. A front panel keyed schematic of a rack mounted IDU-C is shown in the

figure below.

Connecting power to the IDU

The IDU-C has redundant power connection circuits (items G and H in

Figure 3-13 above). An enlarged schematic of the power connectors is

shown in below:

Figure 3-17: IDU-C Power connectors

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-13

Connecting the ODU to the IDU Chapter 3

The connectors are 3 pin in line female, with polarities (left to right) minus, ground, plus. To avoid damage to the IDU, always use an AC/DC adapter supplied by RADWIN.

Ensure that the IDUs at both sites are powered up. The IDU-E/R models have a two pin power connector and an AC/DC

adapter supplied by RADWIN.

Connecting the ODU to the IDU

The ODU-IDU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and the ODU, and also provides power to the ODU. The maximum length of the ODU-IDU cable is 100m (328ft) in accordance with 10/100BaseT standards.

The ODU-IDU cable is supplied pre-assembled with RJ-45 connectors, at the length specified when ordering, or as a cable drum with spare connectors. If the ODU-IDU cable was not ordered, use an outdoor class, CAT-5e 24AWG shielded cable. See Appendix K for Wiring Specifications.

To connect the ODU to the IDU, route the cable from the ODU to the IDU, secure the cable along its path and connect the cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector on the IDU (see item B in Figure 3-13 above).

Installing a Link using PoE Devices

The PoE device is a very simple unit having a power input connector and two Ethernet ports. It is AC powered, and has a power LED.

¾ To prepare a link using PoE devices:

1. To connect the ODU to the PoE device, route the cable from the ODU to the PoE device, secure the cable along its path and connect the cable to the LAN-OUT RJ-45 connector on the PoE device.

2. Connect it to AC power.

3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for the second link.

4. If you are using a BDU, you should refer to the RADWIN Base Distribution Unit User Manual.

Connecting User Equipment

¾ To connect user equipment to an IDU:

1. Connect user switch/router or any other compatible device to the IDU panel RJ-45 ports designated LAN. (For an IDU-C, see item C in

Figure 3-13 above.)

2. Connect user E1/T1 traffic to the IDU panel RJ-45 ports designated TRUNKS. (For an IDU-C, see labeled item L in Figure 3-13 above.)

3. IDU-C only: To use the SFP Port (labeled item D in Figure 3-13 above), insert an SFP plug-in module into the port and connect the user switch/ router or any other compatible device to the SFP plug-in module.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-14

Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas Chapter 3

Refer to Appendix K for connector pinouts.

Do not connect two LAN ports to the same network, or flooding may occur.

Note

¾ To connect user equipment to a 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 K for connector pinouts.

Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas

You perform antenna alignment using the ODU's audible tone. The method is not suitable for the following models:

Model See Reference

BRS Appendix I

FCC/IC 5.4 / 5.3 GHz Appendix H

AIND Appendix G

To speed up the installation time, alignment of a WinLink™ 1000 system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site A and at site B.

¾ To align the ODUs using the alignment tone:

1. Verify that power is connected to the IDUs at both sites.

When aligning the antennas, do not stand in front of a live antenna.

Warning

Provided that Site A detects the signal from Site B, the ODU starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until the ODUs are aligned, and the installation is complete.

2. Verify normal operation of the IDU by the LED indications on the front panel (see Table 3-2).

3. Direct the antenna of site B in the direction of the site A. This is simplified if a previous site survey has been completed and azimuths are known.

4. Make an azimuth sweep of 180 degrees with the site A ODU so that the strongest signal from site B can be detected.

5. Slowly turning the site A ODU back towards the position of Site B, listen to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations.

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 3-15

Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas Chapter 3

Figure 3-18: Beep Sequence for antenna alignment

• Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far'

• Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased'

• One beep and pause is 'no change in signal'

Note

• Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased'

• One beep and a long pause is 'no air link'

• Any other signal does not relate to antenna alignment

6. Secure the site A ODU to the mast/wall.

7. At site B, adjust the ODU slowly whilst listening to the beeper sequence until the best signal is attained.

8. Secure the site B ODU to the mast/wall.

9. Monitor the link quality for about 15 minutes to verify stability

Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager Chapter 4

2. Choose Install RADWIN Manager and follow the on-screen instructions of the installation wizard to complete the setup of the RADWIN Manager application.

If the installation program fails to start, browse to your CD/DVD drive, chose the setup.exe program and run it.

Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager

If your links are within easy reach, you can configure them using the procedure described below. If however, your links are to be geographically scattered, it may be convenient to pre-load each ODU with its network address prior to physical installation. The procedure is quite straight forward, and set out in Appendix D.

Each ODU requires a static IP address, since part of the link definition is the IP address pair of both ODUs. Network Managers should ensure that these

Note

addresses are outside of the automatic allocation ranges used by their network DHCP server.

¾ To start the RADWIN Manager:

1. Connect the managing computer to one of the two LAN ports as shown in

Figure 4-1 below:

Figure 4-1: LAN ports on the front panel of the IDU-C

WinLink™ 1000 User Manual Release 1.9 4-2

Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager Chapter 4

If you are not using a direct connection as above, ensure that you have IDU to managing computer connectivity (e.g. through a LAN).

2. Check that you have connectivity to the ODU. You can do this by opening up a command line session (Start|Run and then type, cmd). At the command prompt, type

ping 10.0.0.120

You should see something like this:

Figure 4-2: Pinging an uninstalled and unconfigured link

Any other response from ping means that the ODU is not responding. Check your Ethernet connection and that both the IDU and ODU are switched on and then try again. If you do not succeed, seek assistance from RADWIN Customer Support.

3. Dismiss the command line session.

4. Double-click the RADWIN Manager icon on the desktop, or click Start|Programs|RADWIN Manager|RADWIN Manager.

The Log-on dialog box appears.

2. Enter the current password, and the new password.

3. Click OK to confirm.

First steps

For what follows, it is assumed that you have set the IP addresses of both ODUs. For the purposes of illustration, we will use the following IP addresses:

Our managing computer has its NIC set to IP address 192.168.2.100. The

Note

log-on ODU is set to IP address 192.168.2.101 and the over-the-air ODU is set to 192.168.2.102. The Subnet Mask for both sites is 255.255.255.0 and the Default Gateway is left unset. We will maintain this arrangement throughout the remainder of this manual.

At this point the main window of the RADWIN Manager should be displayed:

First steps Chapter 4

A detailed field by field description of the contents of the RADWIN Manager main window may be found in 6.

The procedure required to make the link functional has three phases:

1. Link Installation - which we will detail below. Installation actually gets the link operational by setting the link parame-

ters. It uses a fixed channel at the lowest possible modulation, BPSK at

6.5Mbps and will work under the harsh interference condition.

During the installation procedure, the definition of all parameters is automatically applied to both sides of the link.

Note

• The ODUs as supplied by RADWIN are set up with a factory default

band. If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it should be done before link Installation. The procedure is set out in

Caution

Appendix E.

• Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations.

Note

2. Link Configuration - described in 7. Configuration provides much the same functionality as Installation, but

for a running link. A fallback to Installation mode is provided for situations which cannot be handled without resetting the link, such as antenna realignment and IDU or ODU replacement.

The Link Installation and Configuration phases are both carried out with Wizards, which “walk you through” the processes. The Wizards are visually quite similar and will be described in detail below.

3. Site Configuration - described in 8. Site specific configuration for each side of the link is available at any time

- under a running link or under the restricted Installation mode. Site Configuration consists of a set of panels, which may be invoked indi-

vidually in any order, as needed.

An installed and configured link can be returned to installation mode for reinstallation and configuration from last settings or from factory settings.

• Reversion to installation mode requires a complete break in the link

service

• Configuration mode may vary the service throughput and quality, but

without a service break

¾ To complete Installation Step 2:

1. Enter a Link ID. The Link ID must be identical for both ODUs in the link, otherwise they will not communicate. The Link ID must

include at least eight alphanumeric characters. Up to 24 characters are allowed. You should use a Link ID composed of both alphabetic and numeric characters.

2. Enter a Link Name for the link identification. The default name is “Link”. You should change it.

3. Enter names for Site 1 and Site 2. The default names are both “Location”. You should change them. Throughout this manual, we use A for Site 1 and B for Site 2.

4. Optionally enter a new Link Password.

If the Link Password is incorrect a link is established but configuration cannot be performed and no services are available. A new link password may be obtained from RADWIN Customer Support or use the alternative password supplied with the product.

Configuring the Link

This chapter describes the link configuration procedure, which is performed after the installation of both sides of the WinLink™ 1000 link, as set out in

Link configuration uses a Link Configuration wizard to redefine the configuration parameters and fine-tune an operational link. Both sides of the link are configured simultaneously.

Link configuration allows you to configure link parameters, which do not lead to sync loss or require a reset. Some may change service performance, in respect of which, warnings are displayed.

For ease of use, the Link Configuration wizard follows the same pattern as Link Installation. You should therefore be familiar with the content of 5.

The following parameters are configured using the Link Configuration Wizard:

• System parameters

• Channel settings

• Transmission power and antenna settings

•Service parameters

The Configuration Wizard has seven steps as shown in Table 7-1 below.
