Overview
1.1 Description
The Marquee™ Series is a powerful answer for customers seeking a reliable high-speed wireless
connectivity solution. It provides the best features and wireless reach in the field by combining industry
leading outdoor point-to-point (P-P) optimized software with its patented amplifier technology. Unlike
other single band products, Marquee gives you the choice of installing a license-free 5.8 GHz, or a
licensed 4.9 GHz network. If your needs change in the future, Marquee can change with you.
The Marquee P-P Series is comprised of Marquee Bridges. The Marquee is available in two types of
enclosures: a flat panel (FP) and a ruggedized (EX) enclosure (see Figures 1.1a and b). The FP
enclosure features a 23 dBi integrated antenna. The EX enclosure comes either with a 23 dBi flat panel
antenna attached to the top of the unit, or it has an N-type connector on the rear to plug an external
antenna. Table 1.1 shows the possible combinations of Marquee products, solutions and antennas that
are offered. Refer to Appendix A for Marquee technical specifications.

Section 2
Installation
CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. The equipment
should be installed and operated outdoors with fix-mounted antennas
such that there will be a minimum of 2 meters of separation distance
between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. This
includes integrated, attached and external antenna versions of
equipment. If you are using dish antennas, the minimum separation
distance must be 2.56 meters.
2.1 Introduction
The Marquee is intended for professional installation only. Please review the entire manual before
powering up or deploying these units.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you configure and test the units prior to deploying them in the
field. Set up a “mini-network” that resembles your actual configuration as close as possi ble.
By using such a mock-up, troubleshooting potential problems will be much easier than if you
already installed the equipment in the field. Read through this entire Section 2 to understand
how to install the hardware. To configure the Marquee, read Section 3.
Safety Warning
2.2 DC Power Injector
The Cat 5 DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the weather. It
can be permanently mounted to a surface using the double stick tape found on the back of it.
2.3 Power Supply
The Marquee kit comes with a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power supply that has a standard ba rrel plug
[center pin positive (+) tip and outer ring negative (-)].
2.4 LEDs
Three LEDs are present on the back of the Marquee (see Figures 2.1a and b):
• The green Power LED stays on when the unit is plugged and operating correctly
• The green Wireless Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the wireless medium
• The green Ethernet Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the Ethernet port

the back of the unit contains an arrow indicating the antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.3a and b).
Please note that both ends of the link must use the same polarization. Be aware that most omni
antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee FP is aimed at one, it must be installed vertically
polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down.

The antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. If you are using a Marquee with a
23 dBi FP attached antenna, the label located on the back of the unit shows an arrow indicating the
antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.7a and b). Please note that both ends of the link must use the
same polarization. Be aware that most omni antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee EX is
aimed at one, it must be installed vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down. If you
are using a Marquee with an external antenna, there is no arrow on the label located on the back of the
unit and an additional N-type female jack is present to connect a short coax cable to the antenna (see
Figure 2.1b). All previous considerations regarding polarization are applicable to the external antenna.
If you are using a Marquee with an external antenna, the unit must be
operated with a proper antenna, microwave load or terminator plugged
WARNING
into the N-type female jack on the back of the unit. Operating the
Marquee with nothing connected to the jack may result in damage to the
TX section of the unit which will not be covered by the factory warranty
and will be a billable repair.

1. Ensuring that there is no DC power applied to the cable, plug the 6-pin N-male round connector of the
outdoor Ethernet cable (ordered separately) into the rear jack of the unit, making sure the notch on
the connector is correctly aligned with the tab on the jack as shown on Figure 2.10. Turn the round
locking nut clockwise as you push in until it securely fastens onto the jack. Please verify that the
round connector is properly plugged into the rear jack of the antenn a prior to connecting DC
power because it is possible to push it in the wrong way if enough force is used. If DC power is
applied and the connector is not properly plugged, damage to the electronics of the unit or the
connector itself may occur which will not be covered by the factory warranty.

• A 23 dBi flat panel attached to the EX enclosure
• An external antenna
• The purpose of the following steps is to adjust the Line-of-Sight of the antennas in order to
maximize the main lobe SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) level. Regardless of the type of antenna
that you are using, the procedure involves making an azimuth (horizontal) alignment and an
elevation (vertical) alignment. The steps below pertain to integrated and attached antennas, but

applicable). It is recommended that, in order to ensure the true maximum, you should adjust through
the maximum SNR reading until the reading clearly drops and continues to drop to lower level sidelobes. Adjust back until the maximum is attained again. Then repeat for the near end of the link.
7. Using the Elevation adjustment bolt (see Figure 2.17a or b), adjust the elevation until the SNR
readings for both end far end of the link first (if
applicable). It is recomme ould adjust through

8. Repeat steps 7 and 8 above to guarantee optimum alignment for maximum signal strength.
9. CAUTION: It is possible to obtain a false peak SNR reading from the signal of a side-lobe. Up to
three different side-lobes on either side of the main lobe may give false peak alignment readings. For
this reason, it is important that a wide sweep in both azimuth and elevation is made in order to identify
these false peak SNR readings so to zero in on the true peak alignment reading due to the main
antenna beam.
10. Tighten the two Azimuth adjustment bolts while observing the SNR reading to ensure the azimuth
alignment does not change while tightening.
11. Tighten the Elevation adjustment bolt while observing the SNR reading to ensure the elevation
alignment does not change while tightening.
12. Test the Link. Prior to placing the link in service for network traffic, the link should be tested using
standard network procedures.
