The supplied rain cover / hood should
always be fitted over the RJ45 seal kit to
prevent water ingress.
supplied). The data ports have sockets with water-proof
glands instead of a flying lead.
Ice bridge
The radome requires protection from
hailstones: recommend to fit standard
single-port ice bridge (unless radio
terminal is mounted in an exposed /
windy location).
The new polycarbonate radome is resistant to hailstone
damage. Dual-port ice bridge is an optional accessory. Single-
port ice bridge cannot be used.
Alignment
scope
Single-port terminal will accept all
versions of alignment scope.
Dual-port version will only accept alignment scopes shipped
from September 2015 onwards. Older versions of alignment
scope are not compatible, and will require a new scope
mounting bracket: please contact Fastback Networks
Support.
Polarization
marking
Arrows on the back of the radio
terminal point either vertically or
horizontally, and must be in the same
orientation at both ends of the link.
Two black dots on the front of each antenna frame: these are
either at the top & bottom or else at left & right of the
radome, and must be in the same orientation at both ends of
the link.
Frequency
Channels
Supports 3 non-overlapping channels in
both uplink and downlink. All
combinations of uplink and downlink
channels are allowed.
Supports 4 non-overlapping channels in both uplink and
downlink. All combinations of uplink and downlink channels
are allowed.
Timing
Basic SyncE
Full SyncE and IEEE 1588v2
Encryption
Most Single-port radios are not
hardware-capable for encryption.
All Dual-port radios are hardware-capable for encryption,
which is dormant. Dormant encryption can only be enabled
with a software licence key, which must be purchased from
Fastback Networks.
Inter-
operation
A Single-port radio terminal will only
make a radio link with another Single-
port terminal.
A Dual-port radio terminal will only make a radio link with
another Dual-port terminal.
2.1.2 Features & Benefits
•
Easy installation – The concept of the Liberator-V1000 Link allows the end user to install it as easily as
any other network component. The single cable solution reduces the complexity of the installation. The
terminal is connected to the network, monitored and supplied with power through a single outdoor
industrial-rated CAT 5e Ethernet cable, which has a solid or multi-braided screen.
•
A visual alignment tool together with an alignment bracket allows the user to easily line-up the antennas.
Subject to correct installation techniques being used, immediate operation without the need for
additional configuration is assured.
•
Network performance – Guaranteed 500Mbps, 700Mbps or 1Gbps full-duplex with Licence Key.
•
V-band licence-free operation – The system has been approved and can be operated in many countries
without needing an individual regulatory licence for each link. Always check in-country regulations
which may vary.
•
System administration – To monitor the status and the traffic, the user can access the link statistics either
via the HTML user interface or by integrating it into a network management tool via SNMP.
•
Security – The coding applied to the proprietary radio interface significantly restricts access to the 60
GHz transmitted data. Additionally a high level of data security is inherent in the product via signal
absorption by atmospheric oxygen and the use of high gain/narrow beamwidth antennas. The Dual-port
version is hardware-capable for upgrade to AES-256 encryption using a licence key.
•
The Dual-port version of Liberator-V1000 allows the user to operate with a second data port (either
copper or fibre).
