Hub installation
Chapter 2
Prerequisites
This chapter discusses steps that are required prior to installation
of AIReach Broadband hub equipment. It includes the following
sections:
• Reviewing site data and plans – page 2–1
• Planning ahead for building access – page 2–2
• Tools needed for installation – page 2–3
• Prerequisites for commissioning – page 2–7
Before you begin installing the equipment, review all previously
collected site data and site plans for information you will need to
install the indoor and outdoor equipment, including the IFL
(intrafacility link). For more information on the equipment to be
installed, see section 1.2.
Review:
• The completed Site Data Record from the Hub and Remote
Terminal Site Preparation Guide – The Site Data Record is
completed during and after the pre–installation site survey.
It includes the site address, hub terminal (HT) alignment for
each sector, IFL information, and much other information.
• Site drawings and photographs, including hub network
schematic and hub rooftop drawing – These should include
information about the site environment; existing equipment
and building features; equipment to be installed; location of
ODUs, IDUs, hub rack (if used), and the hub LAN router;
IFL routing; customer equipment to be connected to
AIReach Broadband equipment; equipment ID numbers;
and other information.
• Planning the ODU location, a section in the Hub and
Remote Terminal Site Preparation Guide – The ODU
location should already be selected; however, this section
contains information that is useful for the installer to know.
