Chapter 3 Hardware Installation This chapter sets out the requirements and procedures for the hardware installation and alignment of a RADWIN 2000 link in accordance with the prior planning as set out in Chapter 2. It is intended to guide qualified field technicians.
It also lays down the size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. The RADWIN 2000 ODU must be grounded to a Protective Earth as described in Appendix C and in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.

ODU-IDU cable (outdoor class, CAT-5e, 4 twisted pairs, 24AWG) • For PoE based links: A crossed Ethernet LAN cable Hardware Installation Sequence The following steps are required to install the RADWIN 2000 system: 1. Mounting the ODUs, page page 3-7.
7. Aligning the ODUs/antennas, page page 3-13. Figure 3-7 below, which illustrates a typical installation of RADWIN 2000 with an external antenna. Figure 3-7: Typical Installation Diagram (with external antenna) The installation steps are detailed in the following sections. Outdoor installation Preparing the ODU before Deployment Each ODU must be pre-loaded with an IP address.
A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast. Note A RADWIN 2000 link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configu- ration. Both ODUs must be installed, and the antennas aligned for maxi- mum throughput.
The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. The RADWIN 2000 ODU is designed with surge limiting cir- cuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN rec- ommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected perfor- mance of the RADWIN 2000 wireless link and the possible configurations for a specific link range. The utility allows you to calculate the expected RSS of the link, and find the type of services and their effective throughput as a function of the link range and deployment conditions.
The Ethernet and configured TDM trunks throughput is calculated according to internal product algorithms. Availability The Service Availability calculation is based on the Vigants Barnett method which predicts the downtime probability based on a climate factor (C fac- tor).

The Fresnel zone (pronounced "frA-nel", with a silent “s”) is an elliptically shaped conical zone of electromagnetic energy that propagates from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

The concept of the Fresnel zone is shown in Figure B-1 above. The top of the obstruction does not extend far into the Fresnel zone, leaving 60% of the Fresnel zone clear; therefore, the signal is not significantly attenuated. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.4...

What is Hub Site Synchronization? When several units are collocated at a common hub site, interference may occur from one unit to another.

Under HSS, the TDD mechanism of the collocated radios transmits at the same time and receives at the same time. The cycle duration of transmit Radio Frame Pattern and receive is called (RFP) and with RADWIN 2000 it is always 1250 milliseconds. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.4...
• RFP type E should be used if and only if RADWIN 2000 links are part of the HSS installation. • The RFP must be the same for each link within the collocated system.
There is no technical reason to prefer a WinLink™ 1000 over a RADWIN 2000 or vice versa. It is however, recommended that you use the RADWIN 2000 as master, since it will enforce the correct RFP on the other collocated units.
