Preparing for installation
This section describes the checks to be performed before proceeding with the installation.
Unit pre-configuration
It is common practice to pre-configure the units during staging before site installation by
performing the following tasks from Chapter 6: Configuration and alignment:
Connecting to the unit on page 6-3
Upgrading firmware version on page 6-10
Using the installation wizard on
page 6-13
If the units are to be pre-configured during staging, the safety precautions below MUST be
observed.
Safety precautions
All national and local safety standards must be followed while developing a site, installing
equipment, or performing maintenance.
Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units
start to radiate as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards
defined in Compliance with safety standards on page 4-8, in particular the
minimum separation distances.
Observe the following guidelines:
Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered.
Always power down the PoE power supply when connecting and disconnecting the drop
cable from either the PoE power supply or ODU.
Protection requirements
The installation must meet the requirements defined in Grounding and lightning protection
on page 2-15.
