Installation Workflow

2 Installation Workflow

The following figure summarizes the main steps of the installation procedure:

Verify that all infrastructure requirements are met (includes

verifying that the jacks are wired to the patch panel in the

communication rooms).

Check that Ethernet jacks are available

in all planned VAP locations.

Plan the floor coverage and VAP locations

according to the type/density of the site.

Installation Workflow

Determine the communication rooms to which the VAP

infrastructure is connected (locations for the Slave VCUs).

Install the Master VCU in the IDF/telco shaft.

Complete

Open a local session to the Master VCU and configure the system

parameters (IP, and service parameters: Central Frequency , Max

expected Pin).

Perform a “walk test” and verify coverage around the floor.

Change VAPs locations or

add VAPs

Met

Coverage?

Install the Slave VCUs and connect them to the Master VCU (verify

that the VCU/VCH LED is green, and RF LEDs turned OFF).

Install the VAPs and connect them to the Ethernet jacks. Connect

the Ethernet appliance (if exists) to the VAP. Check that the VAP is

operational (Blue LED lit). Check that Ethernet connection is OK.

Yes

Install the RF signal sources, connect them to the master VCU

(through passive interfaces) and check that the RF signals are

received by the VCU (i.e. that the RF LEDs are green).

Connect the VCU

VAP

ports to the patch panel, and

the Ethernet Switch to the VCU

Ethernet

ports.
