This guide contains information on installing your Tracer 2210/3202
system.
ADTRAN recommends that the entire TRACER link be tested on a lab
bench prior to installation in the field to verify configuration.
Verify the existence of an adequate microwave path for each hop or
link to ensure that a point-to-point microwave system is feasible for
your particular application.

NPACK HE ARDWARE
Carefully unpack the contents of the over-pack box. The box contains the
following items:
1 Tracer 2210 Data Interface Unit (DIU)
1 Tracer 3202 Radio Interface Unit (RIU)
1 Pre-threaded Mast Unit Bracket
2 extra Bracket Clamps
1 7-foot, 4-conductor cable (pre-attached)
4 Crimping Barrels (for cable installation)
1 Terminal Block (for cable installation)
1 User's Manual on CD-ROM
The Tracer 2210, terminal block, and CD-ROM are contained in the
smaller Tracer 2210 box.
Please save all packaging materials for future use.

ABLE NSTALLATION
Do not connect the terminal block end of the cable to
a powered TRACER 2210 unit while creating the
cable assembly.
A cable installation step is required to connect the 2210 unit to the 3202
unit. A pre-spliced and labeled UV-resistant cable (7-foot long,
4-conductor) is pre-attached to the 3202 unit. The remaining necessary
cable length and material can be customized to suit the needs of your
application.
Four conductive crimping barrels are included in a 3x5 plastic bag, and
can be used to crimp the supplied cable conductors with the custom cable
length. The other end of the custom cable length will be attached to the 4-
conductor terminal block inside the Tracer 2210 box.
The connector items provided are:
1 terminal block (inside Tracer 2210 box)
4 crimping barrels
The tools needed for assembling the cable are:
• wire stripper• crimping tool or pliers
• wire cutter• flathead screwdriver
The cable used for the custom cable length assembly should be a copper,
4-conductor, 22 or 24 AWG twisted pair, UV-resistant cable, with
maximum length 700 or 600 ft., respectively.

The labels provided on the 7-foot cable are denoted as a "1,2" pair and
"3,4" pair. Additionally, the 1,2 pair has a 1/4" heat shrink tube to further
distinguish the 1,2 pair. These numbers correspond to socket contacts on
the terminal block that plugs into the back of the 2210 unit. It is important
that splice pair "1,2" on the spliced cable is electrically connected to
socket contacts 1 and 2 on the terminal block. Likewise, splice pair "3,4"
should be electrically connected to socket contacts 3 and 4 on the
terminal block.
After crimping the conductor splice pairs to the custom cable length, it is
recommended that each of the four individual wires be electrically
isolated. (Using electrical tape is one option.) A final weatherproofing step
should be performed to waterproof the entire cable splice area.
Performing these steps will ensure that the connection between the 3202
and 2210 units are safeguarded from external elements.

Place the Tracer 3202 mast unit into the mounting bracket. Tighten the
pre-threaded hose clamp using a flat-head screwdriver. After tightening,
the mast unit should not be able to move or rotate inside the bracket.
Loop the wire rope tethers around the L-shaped cutout on the bracket.
One tether is pre-attached to the housing clamp, and the other is pre-
attached to the housing cover.

Install a coaxial cable to the N-type RF connector on the base of the
Tracer 3202 unit. The other end of the coaxial cable will eventually be
connected to a 5.8 GHz antenna. Ensure that the N-type connector is
sufficiently tightened.
Thread the 2 extra bracket hose clamps through the top and bottom slots
on the V-shaped back of the bracket. The V-shape portion of the bracket
will be pressed against the pole, and the 2 clamps will be used to tighten
the bracket to the pole. Use a flat-head screwdriver to finish tightening the
bracket assembly to the pole.

Using the spare nut and washers on the longer ground (GND) terminal on
the 3202 base, ground the mast unit to an earth-ground terminal.
After installing the 5.8 GHz antenna to the pole, attach the loose end of
the coaxial cable to the antenna RF port. Ensure that the connectors are
weatherproof.

The Tracer 2210 can be tabletop or wall mounted using the 4 mounting
slots on the base of the Tracer 2210 housing. Be sure to place the 2210
within 6 feet of an A/C outlet or power strip.
After mounting the Tracer 2210 unit, plug the terminal block attached to
the 4 conductor cable to the 4-pin Eurostyle header on the back of the
Tracer 2210 unit.
Connect the round end of the adapter cable to the 2210 power jack and
plug the A/C adapter into an A/C outlet.
The Tracer 2210 will run through a power-on initialization sequence for a
few seconds. After initialization, the LED panel will indicate the current
status of the Tracer system.
