PAGE 16
Video Surveillance RADWIN's WinLink™ 1000 wireless broadband systems allow organizations and system integrators to deploy video cameras virtually anywhere while eliminating the costs and installation hassles of wirebased systems. Reliable, robust and affordable, the WinLink™ 1000 systems support a variety of transmission topologies such as Ring, Star and Daisy Chain to provide surveillance coverage of the most challenging environments.
PAGE 17
interface protocol of WinLink™ 1000 is designed to ensure non-stop, high quality transmission, even when encountering interference and harsh conditions. Automatic Adaptive Rate Automatic Adaptive Rate is a method of dynamically adapting the transmitted rate by changing both the signal modulation and coding. Automatic Adaptive optimizes the data throughput according to interference conditions, to optimize data throughput while maintaining service quality.

It is recommended that you first read the Overview in the next chapter as this provides an understanding of the various parts of the system and how the system works. WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.
PAGE 19
Chapter 2 Overview WinLink™ 1000 System Components WinLink™ 1000 point-to-point solution is made up of a number of key components. Typically, each side of the link comprises an Indoor Unit (IDU), an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an antenna. A CAT5e cable from the IDU to the ODU provides both Ethernet and Power. The link is managed via the WinLink™ 1000 Manager application.
PAGE 20
The Indoor Unit (IDU) The IDU provides TDM and Ethernet ports to connect to the link. It also provides power to the ODU. The IDU is available in four configurations: IDU-E A compact, half 19 inch wide, 1U plastic unit, providing up to two Ethernet ports and up to two E1/T1 interfaces. Figure 2-2: IDU-E Front Panel Figure 2-3: IDU-E Back Panel IDU-C A 19 inch, 1U metal unit, providing two Ethernet ports, 4xE1/T1 interfaces, and dry contact connector alarm.
PAGE 21
Figure 2-7: Backup link for E1/T1 connections Power Over Ethernet Units Power over Ethernet units provide Ethernet services only. Power over Ethernet (PoE) An extremely compact device, the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) provides Ethernet only services through one Ethernet port. Figure 2-8: PoE 1. Note: The PoE can only be connected to ODU’s that are PoE enabled, or that are High End or Access ODU’s.
PAGE 22
O-PoE Similar to the PoE, with weatherproof casing and sealed connectors that enables outdoor connectivity (a special mounting kit is supplied for attachment to a mast). Figure 2-10: O-PoE Unit The Outdoor Unit (ODU) The ODU is the radio transceiver of the WinLink system and is the main component of the system. The ODU connects to an antenna that enables radio communication and can be mounted on a pole or wall. The ODU connects to the IDU via a CAT5e cable.
PAGE 23
Figure 2-12: Typically used External Antennas There are three series of ODU: • WinLink™ 1000 Access • WinLink™ 1000 • WinLink™ 1000 High End The following table shows the differences between the systems: Table 2-1:ODU Series Typical Characteristics WinLink™ 1000 Access WinLink™ 1000 WinLink™ 1000 High End Max Ethernet Throughput 2Mbps 18Mbps 18Mbps Max.
PAGE 24
WinLink™ 1000 Manager The WinLink™ 1000 Manager is an SNMP based element and link management application which manages a complete link via a single IP address. It identifies the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Trap Destination for each Site and also monitors the Radio Interface – RSS [dBm] and Ethernet Service – Rx Rate and Tx Rate. The Manager software facilitates the Link installation and Link configuration between the ODU units.
PAGE 25
(All Indoor Unit) AIND The AIND - All Indoor unit offers a single enclosure for Radio and Multiplexer modules. It enables outdoor placement of only a passive element. Figure 2-14: AIND - "All Indoor" unit connected to antenna WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.

The application has the following PC requirements: • Memory: 128 MB RAM • Disk: 1 GB free hard disk space • Processor: Pentium 3 or higher • Network: 10/100BaseT NIC • Graphics: Card and monitor that support 1024×768 screen resolution with 16 bit color • Operating system: Windows 2000/XP • Microsoft Explorer 5.01 or later.
PAGE 37
Installing the Software To install the WinLink management program: 1. Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The WinLink™ 1000 Installation screen appears: 2. Choose Install WinLink™ 1000 Manager and follow the on-screen instructions of the installation wizard to complete setup of the WinLink™ 1000 Management program in the desired location. Any PC running the WinLink™ 1000 management application can be used to configure WinLink™ 1000 units.
PAGE 38
Warning 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. For grounding the O-PoE, connect the grounding cable from the dedicated earth terminal (screw at the side of the enclosure) 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.
PAGE 39
Connecting the ODU to the IDU The ODU-IDU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and the ODU. The ODU-IDU cable also provides -48 VDC supply and Ethernet to the ODU. The maximum length for one leg of the ODU-IDU cable is 100m (328 ft) in accordance with 10/100BaseT standards. When using an O-PoE or PoE-8, the maximum length for two legs of the O-PoE or PoE-8 cable is 100m (328 ft) in accordance with 10/100BaseT standards.

station should be plugged into the second trunk, as in the left hand side of Figure 2-7 above. Apart from the above difference, the link installation including the remaining part of the IDU installation and connection to the ODU proceeds as described as above. Connecting the Ground to the IDU Connect an 18AWG grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the device. The device should be permanently connected to the ground.

for 150V < mains ≤ 300V, the transient rating is 2500V; for 300V < mains ≤ 600V, the transient rating is 4000V). Aligning Antennas with the Beeper Perform the antenna alignment using the ODU’s audible tone. The tone is not suitable for aligning the All Indoor Units (AIND). To align an AIND system, see AIND Alignment. To speed up the installation time, alignment of a WinLink™ 1000 system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site A and at site B.
PAGE 43
Figure 3-8: Beeper Sequence for ODU Alignment Note: Three beeps and a pause is the best signal Two beeps and a pause, signal quality increased One beep and pause is no signal change Any other signal detects no signal between ODUs. 6. Secure the site A ODU to the mast/wall. 7. At site B, adjust the ODU slowly whilst listening to the beeper sequence until the best signal is attained. 8. Secure the site B ODU to the mast/wall. 9. Monitor the link quality for about 15 minutes to verify stability.

Channels Selecting Chan nels WinLink systems later than version 1.300 have a feature called Automatic Channel Select, which allows you to define several alternative frequency channels if interference is detected on the channel in use. Note: For the ETSI version, skip to page 3-37; for the BRS version, skip to page 3-38.
PAGE 49
3. Click the check box if Automatic Channel Selection is required. 4. Click the check boxes in the Available Channels List of all the allowable channels that can be automatically selected. Selecting a new channel causes the system quality to change. The quality bar shows the adjustment until the system finds the best quality link. Quality Service 0.1% – 0.4% 80-99% TDM + Ethernet 0.4% – 2.0% 77- 56% Ethernet 2.0% – 50.0% 44 - 2% Antenna Alignment or replace Channel 5.

3. Click at least two check boxes in the Available Channels List of all the allowable channels that can be automatically selected. 7. Note: Installation will not continue until at least two channels are defined. Selecting a new channel causes the system quality to change. The quality bar shows the adjustment until the system finds the best quality link. Any channel selected is evaluated for 60 seconds; therefore this selection process may take a few minutes. 4.
