Installation Overview

We recommend that you configure your paired airFiber radios

before mounting. To configure device settings in the airFiber

Configuration Interface, you will need to connect Power over

Ethernet to the DATA port and connect an Ethernet cable between

your computer and the CONFIG port. Once you have completed

configuration, disconnect the cables to move the airFiber radios,

and then reconnect at the site. After you have mounted the

airFiber radios, then you can establish and optimize the RF link.
