 The ODU should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the
BTS antenna(s). The ODU should be aligned to face the general direction of the
BTS.
 In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional

option may be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is
too close to the BTS, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb,
