Basic Installation 2.5.2 Connecting the Antenna Cable (SU-RE) Connect an RF cable between the ANT connector (located on the top panel of the SU-RE unit) and the antenna. 2.5.3 Connecting the Ground and IF Cables The Ground terminal (marked and the IF cable connector (marked IF) are located on the bottom panel of the SU-RA/RE Outdoor unit, shown in Figure 2-6.
Basic Installation 2.6 Installing the SU-NI Indoor Unit 1. Place the SU-NI unit in an appropriate location on a shelf or a table. The unit can be wall mounted using the installation materials provided with the unit. Use a 6mm (1/4”) drill and the supplied template plate for easy and accurate marking of the holes.
Basic Installation P W R W L N K M O N Figure 2-8. SU-NI Front Panel 6. Use a straight Ethernet 10baseT cable to connect a PC (SU-A/E -1D or SU- A/E-1D1V), or a hub (all other units) to the Ethernet port (marked ETH) located on the rear panel of the SU-NI unit.
Configuring System Parameters 3. CONFIGURING SYSTEM PARAMETERS After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding section, proceed with the configuration of the basic system parameters. This section covers the configuration of basic installation parameters. Refer to the Administration Manual for information related to other parameters. Note: Optionally, the product can be configured using Telnet over the Ethernet port, after setting IP address.

Configuring System Parameters 1. From the main menu, type 3 to access the Basic Configuration menu. 2. From the Basic Configuration menu, type 4 to access the ESSID selection screen. Enter the required ESSID. 3. Type 1 to access the IP Address selection screen. Enter the required IP address.
Aligning the Antenna 4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNA Note: Antenna alignment using the RSSI bar display is possible only after the Access Unit you wish to associate with is operational and the basic parameters were properly configured (see Section 3.2). Otherwise the unit will not be able to synchronize and associate with the Access Unit.
Verifying Correct Operation of the Outdoor Unit VERIFYING CORRECT OPERATION OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT To verify correct operation, view the LED indicators located on the bottom panel of the Outdoor unit as shown in Figure 2-6 on page 12. The following table lists the various LED states. Table 5-1: SU-RA/RE Outdoor Unit LEDs Name Description...
RSSI Measurement and Maximum Data Rate Configuration RSSI MEASUREMENT AND MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION 6.1 Performing the RSSI Measurement The Continuous Link Quality Display test allows a continuously updated display of the average Received Signal Strength Indication. As the test measures only the desired signal of properly received frames, it is a good indication to the quality of the received signal.
RSSI Measurement and Maximum Data Rate Configuration 6.2 Configuring The Maximum Data Rate 1. If the measured average RSSI is less than 108 units, the default Maximum Data Rate of 3 Mbps is to high and should be decreased. 2. From the Basic Configuration menu select 5 to access the Maximum Data Rate selection menu.
Verifying Correct Operation 7. VERIFYING CORRECT OPERATION 7.1 General After completing the installation as described above, the system starts operation. To verify correct operation, view the LED indicators located on the front panel of the SU-NI Indoor unit as shown in Figure 2-8 on page 14. Table 7-1 lists the various LED states.
Verifying Correct Operation 7.3 Verifying Telephone Connectivity (SU-A/E-DV series only) To verify correct operation of the telephone, a test telephone with the default telephony parameters and a known IP address should be connected to the system (the location of the test telephone is determined by the system administrator). Perform the following steps to verify telephone connectivity.
