• One Version B Outdoor Unit (ODU) with mast (pole) mounting hardware.
• Two antennas.
• Two ODU antenna cables.
Indoor Unit
Two identical IDUs are provided. One IDU is installed at each end of the link
and each IDU is connected to its respective ODU by a maximum 300 ft cable.
The IDU units are each one rack unit-high and have a power supply, a CPU,
and modem components for the DS3 radio system.
Rack mount brackets are included with the SkyZhone 45 system so that the
units can be installed in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack. Secure the IDU according
to local building and equipment installation codes.
Caution: The IDU must be protected from rain or condensing
moisture.
System connectors are on the rear panel of the IDU (Figure 2). All
connections are made from the rear panel.

Outdoor units
The ODUs are weather-proof cast aluminum enclosures (Figure 4). Each
enclosure has a radio up-converter and diplexer components controlled by a
microprocessor.
There are two versions of the ODU: the A version transmits high and receives
low; the B version transmits low and receives high. One of each version is
required at either end of a SkyZhone 45 link. The ODU version is indicated
on the outside of the unit.
