2 Subscriber Installation Details
Installation at the subscriber’s site is very simple – one small outdoor unit (the
transceiver) and one cable modem indoors. Power for the outdoor unit is carried
over the TV-type coaxial cable between the two units.
Frequency of operation, RF power, etc. are all determined automatically. There are
no settings to be made on site. The installation diagram is in Figure 2-1.
