Design document: Includes the site information file and basic data files.
Assembly personnel required: four. Two persons are assigned at each site. Multimeters required (which works better with the BNC connecter): two. One multimeter is provided at each site. Portable computers required: One. The computers are used to configure the radio transmission network (RTN) equipment and to check the received signal level (RSL).

The microwave equipment must be ready for the telecom (RFT) test.
Security check must be conducted. The antenna must be installed and the outdoor operations must be performed. These operations must be performed in favorable weather. The IF cable and the elliptical wavelength must be installed. The indoor operations, which can be performed during unfavorable weather and at night, must be performed. All the cables and links must be labelled. Grounding must be performed. The installation field must be cleaned after the installation is complete. The power-on operation must be performed.

Commissioning Preparations
1. According to the network planning document, check the service capacity and modulation scheme of the IF board, and check whether the transmit frequency and power of the ODU are consistent with the actual configuration of the NE. 2. Set the working attribute of the ODU to Transmit.

Grease the nuts so that the antenna can be aligned smoothly and stably. Align the antenna slowly. A delay may be caused in responding to the equipment due to a change in the RSL. When aligning the local antenna, make sure that the elevation and azimuth of the antenna are locked. Do not align the antennas at both ends at the same time. When aligning the azimuth, make sure that the elevation of the local antenna is locked. When aligning the elevation, make sure that the azimuth of the local antenna is locked. Do not fasten the antenna very tightly before the alignment is complete. when you move the antenna, do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the antenna may be damaged mechanically.

You can adjust the azimuth of the antenna by moving the support at point 1, and the elevation of the antenna at point 2.

Step 1 If the distance between the two antennas is more than 2 km, place the two antennas horizontally. If the distance between the two antennas is no more than 2 km, slightly adjust the elevation of the antenna according to the actual situation. Step 2 Connect the multimeter to the port of the local ODU correctly. Then, measure the VBNC of the RSSI port. Step 3 Adjust the azimuth of the antenna.
1. Keep the opposite antenna fixed. 2. Measure the VBNC by using the multimeter. Move the antenna from left to right and make sure that the antenna tracks at least three peak signals of the VBNC. The voltage of the second peak signal should be the maximum one.

Step 3 Adjust the elevation of the antenna. 1. Adjust the elevation at each peak VBNC so that the VBNC can reach the maximum value. 2. Adjust the antenna to a position where the VBNC reaches the highest value. Then, fix the local antenna. Make sure that the VBNC is of the maximum value when the antenna is fixed. Step 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to adjust the antenna on the opposite side. After the RSL of the opposite antenna reaches the maximum value, fix the opposite antenna.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 24 two to four times to make the receive signal levels at both ends reach the maximum value. Then, fix the antennas at both ends. Step 6 Measure the VBNC at both ends by using the multimeter. Obtain the current RSL by referring to the curve diagram and

1. Coarse Adjustment
Lock the antenna at one side and loosen the adjusting nut of the antenna at the other side. According to the network planning design, adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antennas so that the antennas at both ends can be aligned. The RSL is about 80 dB. When one antenna is adjusted, the other antenna is locked. That is, the antennas at both ends are adjusted alternatively.

Keep the opposite antenna fixed. The local antenna moves left to right at different elevations. Measure the VBNC. Lines AA, BB, and CC are different tracking paths of the antenna. According to the corresponding VBNC change curve, you can learn that line AA is the path wherein the main lobes of the antennas are aligned properly. Three points reach the peak value on the curve. The main lobe is at point 2. The first side lobes are at points 1 and 3.

Resolution for Aligning the Antennas (Special Adjustment in the Case of Multipath Fading Caused by the Reflection During the Long-Distance Transmission)
Aligned properly
After the antennas are aligned properly, raise the elevation of the antennas slightly (by 0.35 to 0.5 degrees, depending on the FNBW). In this manner, the multipath fading caused by the reflection during the long-distance transmission over the water surface is reduced.

2. Small Adjustment
The adjustment sequence is not required. If you adjust the elevation first, fix the opposite antenna, and adjust the local antenna. Adjust the nuts to search for the peak value S0. When the peak value S0 appears, continue to adjust the nuts until the peak value S1 appears. If S1 is more than S0, continue to adjust the nuts in the same direction until the peak signal S2 appears. If S2 is less than S1, S1 is the required point. If S1 is less than S0, you must adjust the nuts in the opposite direction. Now, go back to point S0, and continue to adjust the nuts until the next peak signal S-1 appears. If S-1 is less than S0, S0 is the required point. If S-1 is more than S0, continue to adjust the nuts until the next peak signal S-2 appears. If S-2 is less than S-1, S-1 is the required point. During the adjustment, you need to find three continuous peak signals, and the peak signal at the middle point must reach the largest value. In this case, the middle point is the required point. Adjust the azimuth by using the same method. After the local antenna is adjusted, fix the local antenna, and adjust the opposite antenna. Only several adjustments are required to align the antennas properly.

If one antenna is used, you only need to adjust the main ODU. If two antennas are used, you need to adjust both the antennas. The adjustment sequence is as follows: (1) Power off the standby ODUs at both ends, and then align the main antennas at both ends. (2) Power on the standby ODUs at both ends, and then align the standby antennas at both ends.

After aligning the main antennas, you need to check whether the RSL of the standby ODUs is almost the same as the RSL of the main ODUs. After aligning the standby antennas, you need to check whether the RSL of the main ODUs is almost the same as the RSL of the standby ODUs. Ensure that the RSL of the main ODU and the RSL of the standby ODU at the opposite end are almost the same, regardless of whether the main ODU or the standby ODU is used.
The adjustment sequence is as follows: (1) Power off the standby ODUs at both ends, and then align the main antennas at both ends. (2) Power on the standby ODUs at the local end, and then fix the main antenna at the opposite end, and adjust the diversity antenna at the local end.
