Graphical Installation Behavior - Motorola PTP 300 Series User Manual

In each of the states detailed above, the unit should be aligned to give the highest pitch tone. It
should be noted that if, when in the Synchronized or Registered state, the tone varies wildly, you
may be suffering from interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation may not give a
reliable link. The cause of the problem should be investigated.
For the ease of alignment, both Master and Slave units use the install tones in the same way but
with some small behavioral differences. This allows the installer to install the Slave unit first and
carry out the initial alignment with the Master unit if desired. However, due to the behavioral
differences of Master and Slave units, it is recommended that the Master unit is installed first and
the initial alignment carried out at the Slave unit.
Note also that there is a graphical installation screen
able using the web interface that displays the state of the link during the alignment process (up
green,Down, red).
The following behavior should be noted:
State Name Tone Description
Initialising Slow beep
Radar CAC Slow beep
Searching Slow broken
Acquiring Fast broken tone
Registering Fast broken
Link Up Solid Tone
Alarm Fast broken dual tone If there is a fatal error occurs.
In addition, it is possible to use the BNC connector on the PTP 300 Series ODU and a DVM
to help with the alignment process. The BNC connector provides an analogue voltage which
Installation
State Description
When first started up and from time to time, the
Master unit will carry out a band scan to determine
which channels are not in use. During this time,
between 10 and 15 seconds, the Master unit will not
transmit. During this time the installation tone on the
master unit will drop back to the band scan state.
Alignment of the unit should cease during this time
The Master has to monitor the initially chosen channel
for 60 seconds to make sure it is clear of radar signals
before transmitting. If a radar is detected during any
of the installation phases a further compulsory 60
seconds channel scan will take place as the master unit
attempts to locate a new channel that is free of radar
interference.
