The Triton Network Systems, Inc. Invisible Fiber unit (IFU) delivers high-bandwidth traffic
through a wireless transport. This book describes the processes required to install and
commission all Triton Network Systems IFUs.
Intended Audience
This book is written for those who are involved in the “hands-on” installation of the IFU, such as
installation technicians, site evaluators, project managers, and network engineers. It assumes that
the reader has a basic understanding of how to install hardware, use Windows® based software,
and operate test equipment. It is recommended that technicians complete the Triton Network
Systems Installation and Commissioning training course prior to installing an IFU.
Overview of the IFU Installation and Testing Process
The installation and testing process is accomplished by performing a series of separate, yet
interrelated, procedures, each of which is required for the successful implementation of a
production IFU network. These procedures are as follows:
• Site Evaluation: Gathering specific information about potential IFU installation sites.
• IFU Configuration: Using IFU link manager software to install network- and site-specific
parameters in IFUs.
• Cable and Installation: Testing and installing IFU cables and optional interface devices at
installation sites.
• IFU Mounting and Alignment: Mounting IFU brackets to a pole or a wall, mounting an IFU
to a bracket, and performing link alignment and radio frequency (RF) verification.
