Preparing the ODU before Deployment
Each ODU must be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior
to deployment in the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process
is quite straight-forward and described in
Mounting the ODU
The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the sup-
plied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU.
A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.
Note
A WinLink™ 1000 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.
Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw)
of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor
or to a grounded pole.

Warning
•
To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:
1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.
2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so
that the cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top,
water may penetrate into the unit causing damage.)
3. Refer to
matics.
Do not tighten the ODU to its mounting brackets until the alignment
process of the antenna is complete.
Note
Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or
interference from man-made obstacles.
