Shipping Box Contents
The terminals are shipped as individual endpoints. As mentioned, it takes two terminals–one TX-H
and one TX-V–to make a complete link. An outer box has labeling that indicates the contents of the
box, with the part number and serial number details for the radio terminal. The terminal box contains
the following items:
• Radio terminal
• Accessory kit (includes reset connector)
• Registration card
• Quick-start guide
Power solutions are sold separately. Power for the ExtendAir G2 models comply with the 802.3at
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard. Any 802.3at PoE device is compliant with these models.
You must mount the radio to the proper direct-mount antenna, therefore no mounting hardware is
required.
Inspect the outer packaging and the contents of the boxes upon receipt. If you suspect any shipping
damage or issues with the contents, contact Exalt Customer Care (see Introduction
).
Outdoor-rated and shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable, such as Belden 1300A, with RJ-45 connectors is
recommended for the Ethernet connections. For Ethernet connections, a maximum length of 100
meters applies to the total length of the cabling between the radio terminal and the first network-aware
connection (such as a switch or router).
Initial Configuration and Back-to-Back Bench Test
Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance
evaluation over the full operating temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it
is strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that are much more difficult to perform once the
radio link endpoints are distant from one another. A back-to-back bench test and pre-configuration will
provide confidence that the radio link is operational and properly configured prior to installation, so
that if troubleshooting is necessary, the radio hardware and configuration settings are eliminated from
the troubleshooting process. Verify the following in the back-to-back testing:
• Confirm that the radio system is generally operational
– Radios power-up with planned power and wiring solutions
– Radio firmware version matches on each terminal (and is ideally the latest version)
– RF link connects in both directions
– Traffic passes across the link
• Configure connected equipment and cabling
– Test Ethernet (CAT5e) cabling, any auxiliary connector cabling, and configure all interfaces
– Configure IP settings for configuration and management
Note: Register your system as soon as possible. A 2-year Warranty period applies. See
