RUGGEDCOM WIN5214
Installation Guide
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device, refer to
The following sections describe the various methods of mounting the device, and how to install the mounting
bracket:
•
Section 2.1.1, "Mounting the Device to a Pole"
•
Section 2.1.2, "Mounting the Device to a Wall or Tower"
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5214 ODU CPE mounting kit allows for pole or wall mounting.
When choosing the mounting location for the unit, consider the available mounting structures and antenna
clearance.
Site Survey
Most wireless networks include many CPEs and BSTs installed in various locations in an overlapping radio-
cell pattern. It is important to position each CPE at an optimal location considering the assignment of its radio
channels. Therefore, a site survey becomes an essential first step before physically deploying the RUGGEDCOM
WIN5214 solution.
The site survey should include details important to the planning of the CPE deployment in each specific site,
including potential mounting points for CPE and antennas, as well as the routing options for data, power and
antenna cables.
Recommended Site Requirements
It is highly recommended the RUGGEDCOM WIN5214 be mounted with as few obstructions as possible between
the CPE and the base station. The CPE should be pointed in the direction of the designated server base station.
When choosing the ideal location, it is also important to take into consideration the overall area topology.
Section 2.1.1
