Who Should Read This Manual
This is an installation guide for persons who must perform or coordinate the
tasks associated with unpacking and installing the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack
Mount.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Throughout this guide are explanations and procedures that presume working
familiarity with basic telephone trunking and transmission concepts and
practices, as well as basic digital data communications concepts and practices.
If you are not familiar with the concepts and practices involved in these
disciplines, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with them before
proceeding.
Also, this guide does not attempt to provide any detailed system planning or
installation information on radio frequency (RF) antenna assemblies or Path
analysis . For details about these topics, please refer to the Airlink Applications
and Site Planning Guide.
Guide Organization
Each of the chapters and appendices in this guide begins by introducing the
contents of that chapter or appendix. Before beginning the installation process,
you should read the introductions to all of the guide portions so that you have a
sense of what each portion provides.
When you come to a procedure, you should skim through the entire procedure
before you begin performing the step-by-step instructions. By doing this, you
will know what is coming, and will be prepared with the appropriate
information, equipment, or tools.
The information in this guide is organized according to the sequence of tasks
necessary to plan for unpacking, installing, and configuring, as well as operating
and maintaining the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount system.
NOTE The Airlink Pro T1 and the Airlink Pro E1 are similar radio units. The installation, system
administration, and the operational procedures for the two units have therefore been
combined into this manual. The minor differences between the two units are indicated
wherever necessary.
