Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Pre-Installation Considerations
Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the base station/repeater
equipment. Pre-installation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of
the equipment in relation to input power, antennas, and telephone interfaces. Also to be considered
are site environment conditions, the particular mounting method (several available), and required
tools and equipment.
If this is the first time installing this type of equipment, it is highly recommended that the user read:
• this entire installation section before beginning the actual installation, and
• the Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation manual, R56
(6881089E50); specifically refer to the information on ground connection for lightning
protection.
2.1.1 Installation Overview
The following information is an overview for installing the base station/repeater and ancillary
equipment. Step-by-step procedures for each of the major installation tasks are then provided
beginning in "Mechanical Installation" section on page 2-9.
• Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental conditions at the site,
ventilation requirements, and grounding and lightning protection.
• Unpack and inspect the equipment.
• Mechanically install the equipment at the site.
• Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following:
- AC input cabling
- Coaxial cables to transmit and receive antennas
- Phone line connections
- System cables
• Perform a post-installation functional checkout test of the equipment to verify proper
installation.
• Proceed to the Optimization procedures to customize the base station/repeater parameters per
customer specifications (e.g., operating frequency, PL, codes, etc.).
