12ODU Positioning

The ODU can be either pole/tower or wall mounted Easy access to the unit for installation and testing Installed as close as possible to the antenna (if there is one) Antenna position make sure coverage will not be affected by

environmental conditions For instructions on installing the antenna, refer to the

Ver. 09-04-01

For instructions on installing the antenna, refer to themanufacturers manual

Higher antenna placement ,better achievable link quality The antenna of the Access Unit should be installed so that it will

provide coverage to all Subscriber Units within its service area Minimum distance between two antennas is 1 meter/3.28 feet The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of

sight with the coverage area

13ODU Installation

The Outdoor Unit can be mounted on a pole using one of the following methods:

On a pole, using the clamps and threaded rods.

Special clamps and open-ended bolts are supplied with each unit.

There are two pairs of threaded holes on the back of the unit, enabling the special clamps back of the unit, enabling the special clamps to be mounted on diverse pole widths

Insert the open ended bolts with the grooves pointing outward since these grooves will enable you to use a screwdriver to fasten the bolts to the unit

Installing an outdoor unit on a pole, using the metal bands

Insert the bands into their designated place at the ODU (at the top and at the bottom)

Attach the bands to the pole by fastening the bands' screw

14ODU Installation

Use isolation material (such as tar bands) to cover all outdoor connectors to prevent water penetration into the cablesUsing 3M's cold shrink tube 8426-9 as a solution for sealing is recommendedThis solution requires no training or special toolsIf you are using the 8426-9 cold shrink, leave a 10 cm/0.32 feet space to

16Antenna Positioning

When the BS antenna is installed outside the boundaries of the roof The minimum distance

between the antenna and the railing or building side is 25

building side is 25 cm/0.82 feet

The angle between the antenna and the roof is 22

When the BS antenna is installed on a pole on top of the railing, the antenna is not blocked by anything on the roof, or on adjacent roofs It is essential to 1.5 M

Ver. 09-04-01

It is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 1.5m/4,92 feet between the lower part of the antenna and the top of the roof, fence or railing, whichever is closer to the antenna

1.5 M


When the BS antenna is installed on a pole and the pole is installed towards the center of the roof, the antenna may be blocked by objects on the roof or by the railing or fence It is essential to maintain a

Blocking object

Ver. 09-04-01

It is essential to maintain a minimum distance between the lower part of the antenna and fence or railing, in order to minimize disturbance of the antennas lobe

The distance to the roofs floor and the fence depends on the distance of the antenna from the railing

The farther the horizontal distance of the antenna from the raising, the larger the vertical distance

19BS Antenna Alignment

Identify a reference point on the landscape Add or subtract 90to/from the Base Station azimuth Using the compass, align the outer frame of the antenna

Ver. 09-04-01

20BS Antenna Alignment

Magnetic North

Do not align using a compass when you are on top of the tower, due to interference with the magnetic field of the compass

True North definition - navigational term referring to the direction of the North Pole

Magnetic North definition the point where the geomagnetic field points vertically downwards, i.e.

Sector #1Antenna Direction

Magnetic North 45

SU Antenna

360 - 45 = 315 Variations is defined as the

angular difference between these two directions

The compass is always referring to the Magnetic North while a GPS can point either to the True North or to the Magnetic North depending on the GPS type and configuration

21Base Station IDU Installation

Attach the cable guide to the top panel of the chassis Install the chassis in a 19" cabinet

Note: For installation in a ETSI rack a suitable adaptors should be installed on the chassis

Leave a space of at least 1U between the upper covers of the

Ver. 09-04-01

Leave a space of at least 1U between the upper covers of the chassis and other units in the cabinet

Connect the grounding cable to the ground terminal located on the rear panel of the chassis and

Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to a ground connection or to the cabinet


Carefully insert the modules into the relevant slots Secure the modules in their intended locations Place blank covers over all of the unused slots Connect the DATA port of the NPU to the backbone (use a

straight Ethernet cable to connect to a hub/switch and a cross for a router )

Ver. 09-04-01

Note: The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100m/328 feet when operating at 100 Mbps and 70m/230 feet when operating at 1 Gbps

If the MGMT port will be used for remote management, connect it to the appropriate data equipment (use a straight Ethernet cable to connect to a hub/switch/ and a cross for a router

Note: The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m/328 feet


Connect the DC power cable to the power jack of the PIU module

If a redundant PIU is installed, connect a DC power cable also to the second PIU module

Connect the power cord(s) to the -48 VDC power source(s), as follows: Connect the black wire to the -48 VDC contact of the power source

Ver. 09-04-01

Connect the red wire to the + (Return) contact Connect the ground wire to the ground Any BS installation using AC-DC converter (rectifier, ups), must

be approved by electrician for clean AC and DC inputs, including proper grounding


Connect the IF cable(s) To avoid transmissions at undesirable frequencies, verify that

the frequency and bandwidth parameters are properly configured before connecting the IF cables
