11. Once the ODU and pole are installed they must be properly grounded:
connected to the building lightning protection circuit. The ODU position must
be lower than the highest pole point at least by 2 ODU heights.
12. Connect the STP cable to IDU, after previously having touched IDU connector
case with STP cable connector case
13. Provide grounding for IDU
14. Connect Ethernet cable to IDU
15. Connect the IDU to power
16. Connect to the Device using Telnet protocol
3.3.5. Grounding and Lightning Protection
When installing on poles without lightning protection systems, the ODU or external
antenna should be placed on the pole at a height that is at least 1 meter below the
top of the pole. In this case, there is a significant probability that the lightning
strikes the pole and not the ODU or antenna. The pole should be properly
grounded: connected to the building lightning protection circuit according to your
local regulations. When lightning strikes the external antenna, the current goes
through the coaxial cable to the ODU case, which is connected through the ODU
clamp to the pole - the pole is grounded. The direct lightning strike to the STP
service cable (ODU-IDU) is partially terminated on the grounded IDU case. Partial
termination means that the direct lightning strike will probably destroy an STP
cable. The service cable pickups from the electromagnetic impulses are terminated
on the IDU case by the winding shield, and further - on the IDU grounding.
NOTE
The end of the STP service cable that is connected to IDU should be assembled with a
shielded RJ-45 connector. The other end of the STP service cable (connected to ODU)
should be assembled with unshielded (standard) RJ-45 connector.
IDU is grounded via a three-conductor power cord and a grounded socket. The
data & power wires pickups are terminated via IDU protection scheme (three-
conductor power cord and a grounded socket).
NOTE
Antenna pole, tower, ODU and lightning arrestor should be connected to the first
common grounding circuit. Grounding cables should be no less than 10AWG thick and
must use corrosion-resistant connectors. IDU and the customer LAN should be grounded
to the second common grounding circuit.
Special attention should be paid if the antenna used is not DC-shorted. In this
case, an additional lightning arrestor should be used between the antenna and
ODU. The suggested grounding diagram is shown in the picture below.
