8. Reset the unit to apply the changes.
Aligning the Antenna
1. Point the antenna toward the general direction of the Base Station.
2. Connect the SAU to the ODU (optional) and verify that the PWR (power) indication on the SAU is on.
3. Verify that the unit is synchronized with a Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all
parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by
changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.
4. Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality reading is achieved (SNR and RSSI, or
when using SAU, the number of link quality LEDs). If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link
quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
5. Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line
of site to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna
is not always directed toward the Base Station.
6. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.
NOTE:
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives
transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. When all LINK QUALITY LEDS are on,
including LED 10, this indicates that the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be
avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less
than 300 meters from the AU, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°.
Fast Configuration and Antenna Alignment Using the Y-Cable
1. Disconnect the IDU-ODU cable from the ODU.
2. Connect one end of the Y-cable to the ODU’s IDU COM connector.
3. On the other end of the Y-cable, connect a PDA/PC to the PDA connector and the IDU-ODU cable to the IDU connector.
4. From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters.
5. Align the antenna using the instructions above.
Verifying Proper Operation
1. Verify data connectivity by pinging the AU or by connecting to the Internet.
2. To verify proper operation of the SU, examine the LED indicators on the IDU:

Name Description Functionality
Power Power Indication
 Off – IDU is not powered or power failed
 Green – IDU power is OK
Link Ethernet link status
(Ethernet integrity)
 Off – No Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the
outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit
 Green – Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the
outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit
11a Wireless link status
 Off – SU is not associated with an AU/μBST
 Green – SU is connected with an AU/μBST
* After power-up, the WIRELESS LED illuminates until self-test is finished.
3. To verify proper operation of the ODU, examine the LEDs of the SAU:

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
