3.6 Installation of the CarrierWave Digital Radio
The following sections provide installation guides for:
• IDU Installation
• ODU Installation
3.6.1 Installing the CarrierWave IDU
The CarrierWave IDU can be installed in the following three options:
1. Table top or cabinet
2. Wall mount
3. Rack mount
The CarrierWave IDU should be:
• Located where you can easily connect to a power supply and any other equipment used in
your network, such as a router or PC.
• In a relatively clean, dust-free environment that allows easy access to the rear panel
connectors as well as the front panel controls and indicators. Air must be able to pass freely
over the chassis.
• Accessible for service and troubleshooting.
• Protected from rain and extremes of temperature (it is designed for indoor use).
3.6.1.1 Installing on a Table Top or Cabinet
The CarrierWave IDU can be placed on a tabletop or cabinet shelf. In order to prevent possible
disruption, it is recommended to use a strap to secure the IDU.
3.6.1.2 Installing on a Wall
An installation option for the IDU is mounting the unit to a wall. Consult factory for details.
If the wall mount option is being considered, plan to position the CarrierWave IDU at a height that
allows LEDs, the display on the front panel, and the rear connectors to be visible at all times and
easily accessible. Also, including plastic clamps to support and arrange the ODU/IDU
Interconnect Cable should also be considered.
3.6.1.3 Installing in a Rack
To maintain good airflow and cooling, it is preferred that the CarrierWave IDU in a slot that has
blank spaces above and below the unit.
