If installation is to be deferred, the type of packaging will define the equipment storage conditions: Cardboard boxes should be warehoused indoors, in a dry, well aired room. Wooden or plywood boxes may be stored outdoors, provided that they are protected from rain and the suns rays.
1.4 - Before Installation Task List

There are several tasks that should be accomplished prior to installing the system. This section briefly describes the following: - Site selection - Line-of-sight and path clearance determination - Anticipated RSL calculation - Fade margin calculation - Availability calculation - Frequency plan determination - Power supply planning - Antenna purchase
26
NOTE: Only directional antennas should be used with the system. These can be grid or solid parabolic antennas (minimum 2 foot 0.6 meter). Flat panel antennas are also acceptable if the beam width is kept to a minimum.
1.4.1 Site Selection Requirements The system site must have: - Access to the appropriate power Close proximity to the telephone you wish to interconnect Line-of-sight to the other location with adequate clearance Location for mounting the antennas
1.4.2 line-of sight and path clearance guidelines The system will not operate properly unless they have line-of-sight between their corresponding antennas. The transmission will not pass through trees or other obstacles. Factors to consider include: - Earth curvature - Future growth of trees - Height of building
In addition to the line-of-sight requirement, a well-engineered path will also have additional path clearance to allow for signal loss due to patial obstructions, atmospheric ducting and ground reflections. To maximize radio reception, 0.6 times the first Fresnel zone should be calculated and this distance added to the path clearance (in addition to or buildings).
1.4.3 RSL calculation and link budget The received signal level (RSL) can be estimated using the following formula: RSL(dBm) = Pout FL1+G1+G2 FL2 - Lp
27
Where:
Pout is the transmitter output power ( in dBm) FL1 is the feeder loss of the transmit side ( in dB) G1 is the gain of the transmit antenna ( in dB) G2 is the gain of the receive antenna ( in dB) FL2 is the feeder loss of the receive side ( in dB) Lp is the path loss, defined by: Lp(dB)=96.6 + 20log10F + 20 log10D
Where:
F = frequency in GHz D = distance of path in miles
The link budget is very important for determining any potential problems during installations. If you have calculated the expected RSL, you can see if it has been achieved during installation, and troubleshoot if necessary.
1.4.4 Fade Margin Calculation The fade margin is the difference between the actual received signal and the systems threshold. Using the formula provided in section 1.4.3, the anticipated RSL can be calculated. Compare this RSL to the specified threshold of the system and calculate the fade margin as the difference between the two signal levels.
Dispersive fade margin is another factor that many microwave path engineers may use to plan their link budget. For the system, the dispersive fade margin is in excess of 45dB and therefore is not a determining factor in path planning. This excellent dispersive fade margin performance is important because the RF signal has considerably wide bandwidth.
1.4.5 Availability Calculation Availability of the microwave path is the measure of the time that the link will operate without producing an excessive BER due to multipath fading. In the absence of direct interference, availability is affected by the following: - Path length
28
- Fade margin - Frequency - Terrain (smooth, average, mountainous) - Climate (dry, temperate, hot/humid)
Depending on the type of traffic carried over the link, the system designer may wish to design for a specific availability. For example, if the data or voice traffic that is carried by the radio is critical then it may be designed for a very high availability. To improve availability, for example, the fade margin can be increased by making the path shorter, or by using higher gain antennas in conjunction with lower loss feeders(by using high quality transmission line or shortening feed length).
1.4.6 Frequency plan determination When configuring system in a hub or repeater configuration, careful engineering of the system frequency plans and antenna locations should be performed in order to minimize potential interference between the nearby systems. As a rule of thumb, do not place identical frequency plan system (e.g. two A channel systems) at the same site. In most cases, it is desirable to use a different frequency plan (e.g. A versus B). However, with careful engineering, placing more than one system of the same frequency channel plan at the same site can be accomplished. In fact, the frequency plan is designed to allow complex hub configurations that may require reusing the same frequency plan. When designing these types of configurations, antenna size and antenna location are critical. If Identical channel plans must be used at the same site, the system channel (e.g. A1 and A2) should be used at a site to minimize interference. Using alternate channels (e.g. A1 and A2) is less likely to be successful (and therefore not recommended) due to the high level of transmitter to receiver isolation required from the antenna system.
1.4.7 Power Supply Planning The system must have access to a supply of appropriate power. Typically negative ground 48 volt supply is used. For DC, be sure the cable is of sufficient gauge to carry the
29
necessary current.
Before installing the system, plan for the continuous power consumption needs in accordance with the specifications. It is also wise to plan for backup power for critical communication circuits (including the system). Backup power allows the system and associated equipment to continue operation when primary power is interrupted.
1.4.8 Antenna Planning Using the path planning tools, proper antenna size can be determined which will yield the desired path performance. In general, the larger the antenna that is used with the system, the better the link will perform. Larger antennas have narrower beamwidth and higher gain, which will yield better link performance (higher fade margin, better availability) and improve immunity to interference (due to the smaller beamwidths). However, larger antennas are more costly to purchase and difficultly install than smaller antennas, in some cases requiring special equipment for installation. All of these factors should be taken into consideration when selecting antennas.

3 - Outdoor part installation

3.1 - Antenna installation
The antenna installation consists of mounting the antenna on the tower, building roof or other location that provides line of sight path clearance to the far location. In general, antennas smaller than 4 feet diameter are not recommended for urban areas due to their higher interference susceptibility.
Antennas should be ordered with a suitable mounting kit specific to the site requirements, for example specifying round or angle tower leg adaptors, or a roof tripod.
If wind-loading may be a problem for an outside mounted antenna, a grid antenna can reduce the wind load compared to a solid dish, although the antenna discrimination capability, for example at hub locations, will be degraded. However, vertical vs. horizontal discrimination, if required, may be improved by using grid antennas.
The antenna must be very rigidly mounted, with adequate room for azimuth and elevation adjustment. The antenna polarization must be the same at both ends of the link, either vertical or horizontal.
In general, antenna mountings require a support pipe to which upper and lower support brackets are attached with U bolts. The antenna and optional elevation and azimuth adjustment rods are then mounted onto the support brackets. The whole structure must be adequately grounded, in case of lightning. The antenna system must always be installed according to the manufactures instructions.

3.2 - Antenna connection

The equipment is equipped with an N-type female connector at the antenna port, ANTENNA at the rear of the shelf. A jumper cable (or pigtail) fitted with two N-type male connectors should be used to connect the antenna port with the antenna transmission line.
A low loss 50 ohms cable (for example 1/2, 7/8foam or air coax ) is recommended for the antenna transmission line between the top of the rack and the antenna. The return loss presented by the transmission line at the top of the rack should be as possible (20 dB, minimum recommended). The length of the antenna transmission line should be kept as short as possible (to minimize losses).

3.3 - Transmission Line Installation

The co-axial transmission line (cable) may be prepared by first being cut to the approximate length allowing some excess and an N-type male connector installed on the antenna end (expect for large or high performance antennas with 7/8EIA flange
45
connectors).
The cable is then pulled through the cable ducts, trays or conduit (as required) to the antenna, while being careful not to kink or damage the cable in any way.
The cable should be supported in a tray on horizontal runs and by hangers on vertical runs. Hangers should be spaced according to the manufacturers instructions.
The cable should be grounded using a special grounding kit that attaches to the outer copper conductor. Grounds must be installed at the antenna, at the bottom of the tower (if applicable) and where the transmission line enters the building. Long cable runs should be grounded every 100 feet. In case of high lighting incidence, lightning dissipaters should be attached to antennas. In addition, co-axial, in-line, spark-gap type, lightning suppressors should be added at the bottom of the co-ax cable.
After installation, the cable is terminated with a second N-type male connector attached at the equipment end.
Prior to operation, the electrical integrity of the cable and connectors can be checked with a simple DC detector between the center conductor and outer conductor.
The transmission line should ideally be connected directly to the antenna at one end and to the RF port of the equipment at the other end. However, a jumper cables may be required to avoid sharp bends in the transmission line or undue stress on the connection.

The best RX level of the equipment is 40dBm. Recommend to set normal RX level between 55 ~ -40dBm. The respective RX level can be easily checked out according to voltage graph. 2. Fix station B antenna, adjust station A antenna, slowly adjust elevation. Observe AGC voltage while adjusting to make it be optimum. Then adjust azimuth make it reach maximum. Adjust station B antenna the same way, after antennas are well adjusted. Look at the LCD screen of the modem Unit and check that if TX power and RX level indication are normal, if there is any warning on the Modem Unit panel. When everything is normal, perform bit error test.(refer to Bit Error Test). After adjusting the antenna, if AGC level is very low, on the LCD screen, RX Low will be displayed. It may because too much loss of space or blocking space. Increasing the antenna diameter and TX power may resolve the problem. If there is blocking object, increase the height of the antenna or change the station location to avoid to be blocked.

4.2 - BER (Bit Error Rate) testing

Bit error rate (BER) testing is the preferred way to evaluate a radio links performance. It can be performed from point -to-point or in loopback mode (which tests both directions of the radio path). Figure 1 illustrates a typical BER test configuration for loopback testing (which may include the radios path instead of in-line attenuators).
When performing BER testing, make sure of the following step: a) b) Remark: Connect BER tester to data input/output connector(s). Connect data input/output of the remote equipment with the cable. The BER tester pattern must be set up as 215-1, and test code must be set
up as HDB3.

Maintenance
86
On detecting a failure, the operator must go to one of the stations on the failed hop, analyze the fault and determine which element has failed.
1 - Preventive Maintenance
It involves inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors, cables, sockets, etc), as well as all the equipment involved in the operation of the station (power generation equipment, compressor if appropriate, solar panels if appropriate, earthing, etc) and, in case of doubt, checking the suspect parts, taking all the necessary precautions to avoid disrupting data transmission through the link.
1.1 - Routine Maintenance

Since the performance of component parts such as, ICs transistors, resistors tend to change under influence of heat and time, it is recommended that routine maintenance is carried out at a regular interval to find out any changes of condition, which may cause unexpected system break Down some time later.
1.2 - Routine Checking Of Operation Conditions

1.2.1 -Equipment should be kept from dust. 1.2.2 -Check the condition of the cablesconnectors and connections.
1.3 -Test on the measurement point

The Transceiver Unit output power, Received signal level; Tx/Rx local oscillator frequency is measurable at the measurement points of the Transceiver Unit.
1.4 -The supervision

Performance status of both local and remote equipment can be displayed on the LCD screen which built in MODEM unit. The operator analyzes the alarm and initiates appropriate corrective maintenance operations
87
1.5 - Keeping maintenance log

Maintenance log should be kept for each station. All maintenance operation check results, date of the occurrences of failures, remedial action taken, and other necessary things should be logged for reference.
2 - Corrective maintenance
- Check the condition of the cables, connectors and connections, and of all the components that are involved in the operation at the station (power supply, battery, earthing, etc), - Analyze the IDU alarm indicators, - If alarms are indicated, locate them using LCD of the MODEM Unit and analyze them and carry out the necessary corrective procedures (change of unit, module, cable, etc).
3 - Analyzing Modem Unit alarm indicators

The alarm indicators on the Modem Units provide an indication of network elements affected: The ALM LED lighting: the local equipment alarm The RMT LED lighting: the remote equipment alarm
