3.1 Installation Planning

Helpful advice for planning a radio system, including site and antenna
selection, can be found in the manual(s) supplied with your transceivers.
The Protected Network Station is typically installed at an Access Point
(AP) site to ensure uninterrupted communication with remote radios.
For iNET/iNET-II systems, it may also be used at one or more remote
sites in a network to increase reliability and protect against equipment
failures at these locations.
Figure 4 shows a typical installation arrangement.
The installation site should have adequate and stable primary power,
suitable access for cabling, and should not be subject to temperature
extremes or poor ventilation. The unit may be placed on a sturdy
tabletop or installed in a standard 19-inch rack cabinet.
