AirMux-200 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup 2-5

An AirMux-200 link operates in pairs of two AirMux-200 systems with

the same configuration. Both systems must be installed, and the

antennas of the outdoor units must be aligned for maximum

throughput.

You can verify that the AirMux-200 ODU units are aligned using a

DVM-tool or the Buzzer located inside the ODU. Alternatively, this can

be done via the AirMux management software.

Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal

(screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground

conductor or to a grounded mast.

Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should

climb the antenna mast. Only trained professional installers should be

used when installing or dismantling ODUs and masts.

To install the ODU:

1. Verify that the ODU mounting brackets are properly grounded.

2. Attach the ODU unit to the mast, using the two strap clamps. Refer

to Appendix B for the ODU mounting instructions.

3. Connect the ground cable to the chassis point on the ODU.

4. Attach the ODU cable to the RJ-45 connector. Refer to Appendix A

for the connector pinout.

5. Secure the cables to the mast or brackets using provided UV-rated

cable ties.

6. Repeat the procedure at the remote site.

Do not tightly secure the ODU to its mounting brackets, if the

alignment process of the antenna is not yet complete.

When installing the ODU, it is important to check that there are no

direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made

obstacles.

To align the ODUs via ODU Buzzer:

1. Connect power to the IDUs.
