SPEEDLAN 8500 Series Installation and Operation User Guide
2-2 Quick Start
Rooftop and Tower Installations Warning
Rooftop, tower and mounted equipment (IDUs) installations are extremely dangerous and incorrect
installation can result in death, injury, or property damage. These installations must be
performed by professional antenna installers only.
Important Notes:
• ODUs cannot be mixed. Each node on a link, or network for multipoint links, must use the
same ODU type.
• No item substitutions are allowed.
• There is no Single Device Adapter for the SPEEDLAN 8500 series, and Wave Wireless Net-
working does not intend to produce one in the future.
• The lightning arrestor, included with each product, must be placed between the IDU and
ODU. For more information, see Installation Diagrams, page 2-6.
