Chapter 2. Installation of Subscriber Station
Reducing strain
No strain should be put onto the RJ45 connector of the SS otherwise it is possible
that the connection between IDU and ODU is intermittent or, in extreme cases, dam
-
age to the RJ45 connector may occur. To ensure that this does not happen a loop in
the cable should introduced, as shown in
Figure 2-8, so as to reduce any chance of
inflicting pressure onto the connectors.
NOTE: In Aperto WaveCenter EMS, During WSC and SS configuration, the
parameters that refer to polarization should be left at Vertical.
Step 3. Ground the Outdoor Unit (Radio/Antenna)
Grounding of the outdoor radio/antenna is an essential part of the installation process.
