5. RF Cable Run:
• Run RF cable from antenna to IDU location, again keeping aesthetics in mind. Make it as unobtrusive as possible.
• Form a drip loop close to where the cable enters the building. Caulk and seal around the entrance.
• Connect the RF cable to the ODU and weatherproof the connection following the Installation Instructions in
Chapter 2.
IDU INSTALLATION:
Once the antenna assembly is installed and the RF cable is run, install the IDU as follows.
1. Connect the RF cable to the IDU RF connector.
2. Plug the subscriber Ethernet LAN connector into the IDU LAN port. When connecting to the LAN via a hub, use a
straight through cable (standard). When connecting directly to a PC, use a crossover cable.
3. Connect the power supply output to the IDU DC PWR connector.
4. Install JET (Java Ethernet Terminal Program) on the PC in accordance with the JET procedure listed below, and
start the program.
5. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet to power up the IDU. Check the IDU Indicator LEDs. The PWR and CPU
LEDs should be lit, and blinking (blue), and FAULT LEDs (red) should be off, and the LINK LED should be lit
(yellow). (Note: The equipment may require up to 3 minutes to establish the link.)
6. Configure the IDU (using JET) with the proper IDU IP Address and Ethernet Host Address (if using NAT) in
accordance with the procedure below
7. Once a link is established, contact the network manager to confirm the link and complete the IDU configuration.
