Connecting the Antenna to the RAU
Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on the RAU using coaxial cable with the
least amount of loss possible.
CAUTION! Firmly hand-tighten the N connector. DO NOT over-tighten the connector.
Connecting the CATV Cable
1 Verify that the cable has been tested and the test results are recorded. This information is
required for the As-Built Document.
2 Verify tha
t only captive centerpin 75 Ohm Type-F connectors are used on the solid copper
center conductor CATV 75 Ohm cable.
3 Verify t
hat the CATV cab
le is labeled with:
Fusion Wideband Main Hub port number being us
ed
RAU identifier
carrier (for multiple operator systems).
4 Connect the CAT
V cables to the F female port on the RAU according to the label on the cable.
Power is supplied by the Fusion Wideband Main Hub
over the CATV cable conductors. Upon
power up, the LEDs will blink for two seconds as a visual check that they are functioning. After
the two-second test:
The LINK LED should be green indicating it is receiving power and
communications from
the Fusion Wideband Main Hub.
The ALARM LED
should be red until the Fusion Wideband Main Hub issues the band
command, within about 20 seconds, then it should be green.
5 Record which cable you are connecting to the RAU (from the label on the cable). This
info
rmation is required for the As-Built Document.
6 Tie-off cables or use the optional cable manager to avoid damaging the connectors due to
cable strain.
