Chapter 2. Installation of Subscriber Station
Aligning the Outdoor Unit Using Aperto Installation Manager (AIM)
1. Launch AIM by double-clicking the AIM destop icon. When promted, enter the
default password (isp).
2. In the Install Option window, select Setup > Next.
3. At the General tab, enter the Frequency band value (3.5 GHz, 3.3 GHz, 5.8
GHz) and WSS ports field (12 supported). If the PM 100/300 is in Server mode,
a DHCP server must be configured to provide the information for its subnet
mask, IP Address, etc.
4. Select Advanced tab. Enter BS ID, Channel Width Value, Management VLAN
ID, and Management VLAN Priority.
5. Click Next. Wait for initialization. A message box displays confirming the initial-
ization. Click Next.
6. Click the View CINR checkbox. The Buzzer checkbox is automatically selected.
Make smaller adjustments on the physical orientation of the Subscriber Station
until the highest CINR is deployed by AIM.
7. Click Finish. Wait for the PM 100/300 to initialize and for the ping test to finish.
Aligning the Outdoor Unit Using ODU’s Built-in Adio Aligment Capability
The ODU has a buzzer that generates audible beeps whose frequency and tone can
be used to help with aligning the CPE to achieve the best possible signal from the
Base Station.
Beeps become louder as the CINR improves. The beeps occur more frequently as
the RSSI (local signal strength) improves. The longest beep delay between State
changes (see table) is approximately 1 second, while the shortest delay has no delay
(constant tone). Hearing loud beeps with little delay indicates the best CINR/RSSI
positioning.
There are three tone levels associated with CINR:
>20dB (highest tone)
13.8-20dB (medium tone)
<13.8dB (lowest tone)
There are two beeping rates associated with RSSI:
-65dB (fastest rate/constant tone)
-90dB (slowest rate).
After you have reached your strongest signal, for approximately 15-30 seconds, the
tone remains in a steady state. Then the automatic alignment completes, and the fol
-
lowing six states and their related number of beeps occur.
A delay/pause occurs among the following six state changes.
