WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Q: Can we use horizontal and vertical polarization on the same
frequency to double the number of wireless links?
A: Installing two WinLink 1000 systems in the same band with cross
polarization provides 20–25 dB separations. Nevertheless, since there
are reflections, the cross polarization separation is decreased and
spatial separation is recommended.
Q: Could you add the frequency of 5.735 to the manual selection in
order to increase the number of 20 MHz channels to six?
A: Currently the system provides fixed channels, with one manual
frequency setting. The manual setting provides flexibility of spectrum
selection, including 5.735 MHz.
Q: Can we mange WinLink 1000 using SNMPc other than the supplied
management software that comes with the units?
A: Yes. The WinLink 1000 is SNMP-based. WinLink 1000 can be
managed when using other SNMP software after implementing RADWIN
MIB’s.
Q: Can WinLink 1000 be managed and configured via Telnet?
A: No. Use only the WinLink 1000 software manager.
Q: Can I use WinLink 1000 with any vendor’s external antenna?
A: RADWIN supplies the WinLink 1000 external ODU with an N-type
typical connector. Any vendor’s external antenna that is of the same
type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that RADWIN
authorized with its specific external ODU product can be used. That is
given that it can be cascaded to our external unit. Please note that dB
losses in the cascading cable between the external ODU and antenna
should be taken into consideration. (In the supplied cascading cable of
one meter we have 1 dB loss)
Q: Do we need to add external arrestors on WinLink 1000 cables?
A: The WinLink 1000 ODU includes arrestors and lightning protection.
Therefore there is no need to add additional arrestors.
Q: What is the actual Ethernet data rate and maximum throughput?
A: The maximum net throughput of WinLink 1000 is full duplex 18
Mbps.
