RADWIN Manager
The RADWIN Manager is an SNMP-based management application which manages a com-
plete link over a single IP address. It can also manage each side of the link separately.
The RADWIN Manager application facilitates installation and configuration of the link between
the ODU units. The intuitive, easy-to-use RADWIN Manager has a graphical Microsoft Win-
dows interface, and can be run locally and remotely.
The RADWIN Manager provides:
• Installation Wizard
• Frequency band selection
• On-line monitoring of air interface quality allowing the administrator to monitor the
service and status of each link
• On-line monitoring of equipment alarms and QoS
• Local and remote loopback testing
• Configuration Wizard and site settings
• Integrated software upgrade utility
• On-line user manual and help files
• Link Budget Calculator for calculating the expected performance of the WinLink 1000
wireless link and the possible service configurations for a specific link range.
WinLink 1000 User Manual
The Parabolic dish antenna is a high-gain, reflector antenna used for
radio, television, and data communications. The relatively short wave-
length of electromagnetic (radio) energy at these frequencies allows
reasonably sized reflectors to exhibit the very desirable highly direc-
tional response for both receiving and transmitting.
Grid antennas are used for 2.4 GHz applications. Due to the large
size, the grid design minimizes weight and wind loading.
