    Dual Polarization Radio Mount (DPRM) to provide up to 800 Mbps of capacity in a single link. Zero-Footprint Option The Horizon Compact is a single, outdoor, compact, weatherproof unit requiring no indoor space and is available with optical and electrical GigE interface options. Enhanced Network Management Horizon Compact fully supports remote management via in-band or out-of-band management, using SNMP (v3, V2c or V1), CLI and Web GUI.

  • Page 14: Applications

    Horizon Compact enables rapid network expansion with remote scalability from 10 Mbps to 800 Mbps. With Horizon Compact the radio and modem are integrated into a single all-outdoor element attached directly to the antenna, allowing simple integration and eliminating any impact on the WiMAX base station footprint.

    3.0 Physical Description Horizon Compact is an integrated Ethernet modem and microwave radio transceiver, housed in a rugged weatherproof housing. It is provided with two weatherproof connectors, Port 1 and Port 2. Port 1, copper 10/100/1000 Base-t, or optional optical interface, carries data and optional in-band management traffic.

  • Page 18: Hoisting Lug

    RF/Modem LED = OFF Hoisting Lug A hoisting lug is shipped with each Horizon Compact (two per link). This can be bolted onto the horizon with the supplied bolt, using any of the threaded grounding points, and used for attaching a line for hoisting or carrying the unit into position on a tower or pole.

  • Page 19: Ethernet And Power

    One connector (GigE – Port 1) is for data traffic and optional in-band management. Power (-36 to -60 V DC) is provided by an optional isolated mains power adaptor and supplied to the Horizon Compact using Power on Ethernet (PonE) techniques via a PonE Power Adapter, which incorporates both power and network Lightning Arrestor.

  • Page 20: Lightning Protection

    Arrestor Arrestor For the Horizon Compact, optical interface variant, or where PonE is not used to power the Horizon, protection of the power feed and the Ethernet connections is provided by a Lightning Arrestor unit of similar physical design to those described above. For correct installation procedures see Section 4.0.

    5.2.3 Steps to Connecting Power 1. Connect Port 1 of the Horizon Compact to the correct socket on the PonE/lightning arrestor using a straight through, shielded, Ethernet cable (see caution above). 2. Connect the Ethernet port on the PC to the network input socket on the PonE/lightning arrestor, using a straight through Ethernet cable, with an unshielded RJ45 connector.

  • Page 44: Figure 5-5 Pone Status Led

    If any such condition exists, then the PonE adapter will not apply power to the Horizon Compact. The status LED signals the condition of the PonE system if this should occur (see Table 5-1). If the fault condition clears, the system will then attempt to provide power to the Horizon Compact unit, but the LED will continue to indicate that a current/voltage problem had occurred (Alarm history).

    CAT5E cable (blue) does not need to be terminated. Note that the Ethernet connection (where used) and power feed to Port 2 must be fed via a DragonWave Lightning Arrestor Unit to protect the network and power systems from transients. Either the Indoor or Outdoor Lightning Arrestor unit may be used depending on the installation.

  • Page 48: Alternate Power

    The gland fitting on the DragonWave Lightning Arrestor unit accepts and seals a round cable with a jacket diameter between 0.35 and 0.62 inches. The power terminal block will accept up to a maximum of 14 AWG wires.

  • Page 49: Initial Configuration

    Note: If the management interface type happens to be set to “out-of-band”, management through Port 1 (GigE port) will not be possible. In this case connect your laptop or PC to the Horizon Compact via Port 2. In both copper and optical Horizon variants, Port 2 has a copper interface.

  • Page 50: Enhanced Security

    With the Enhanced Security option, an initial Super User name and password are provided by DragonWave to the customer. This can be changed by the customer (Super User), once logged on. DragonWave proprietary access is also disabled, meaning that DragonWave personnel will not be able to gain access to the system using the DragonWave proprietary access code, unless the Super User specifically allows it (set dw access on/off).

    Configuring Radio Band and Frequency Channels Both Horizon Compact units in a system (near and far end) have to be configured with the same radio band. Volume 3 of this manual lists all the radio bands supported by the Horizon Compact system. The radio band selected must match that for which the Horizon Compact units have been manufactured.

  • Page 52: Using Telnet

    Note that when using 2 Horizon Compacts on the same data path, non-overlapping channels are required when operating above 16QAM. If, however, you must use co-channel operation, then consult DragonWave for installation guidance and installation mount enhancements that are required.

The same mounting system is used for all sizes of antenna. With the exception of the Flat Mini antenna (see Section 7.1.2), all antennas are polarization neutral, allowing them to be mounted on the...
  • Page 66 HORIZONTAL polarization. Similarly, if the polarization indicator is in the horizontal plane, then the Horizon Compact is in VERTICAL polarization. Ensure that you install the Horizon Compact on the pole mount such that the unit has the desired polarization.
  • Page 67 Whereas the standard antennas are polarization neutral and can be mounted onto the Horizon Compact in any orientation, the Flat Mini antenna must be mounted to the Horizon Compact in a specific way. The Flat Mini also introduces a 90 degree polarization rotation which must be taken into consideration when mounting the Horizon Compact and Flat Mini antenna assembly on a mast or tower.
  • Page 68 Figure 7-4 shows the correct orientation of the Flat Mini antenna and the Horizon Compact unit. The Horizon Compact must be clipped to the Flat Mini antenna with its polarization marker aligned with the “H” mark on the Flat Mini antenna body. The antenna introduces a 90 degree polarization rotation. The diagram shows the Flat Mini and Horizon Compact correctly assembled.

  • Page 70: Pole And Towers

    Pole and Tower Specifications It is important that mounting posts or towers used meet the DragonWave specifications for rigidity to minimize the effects of twist and sway on the alignment of the link. Note that the maximum twist and sway angle allowable is equal to half of the antenna beam width.

  • Page 71: Locating Horizon

    8.0 Locating Horizon Compact Systems For both licensed and unlicensed systems, their location, relative to nearby obstacles, is an important factor to consider when planning an installation. For systems mounted on buildings, roof edges and parapets, the roof surface itself, air conditioning plant, other antenna systems, walls and overhead objects are all considered potential obstacles.
  • Page 72 Figure 8-1 Correct & Incorrect System Location Near field effects are also experienced above and on each side of the front of a system. Ensure that these areas are also free of obstructions. Horizon Compact Release 1.04.07 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1...
  • Page 73 Clear Line of Sight (LoS) The DragonWave Horizon Compact requires a clear LoS between the units at each end of the link. You must be able to see an unobstructed view of the antennas from each end. Avoid obstacles that are close to the LoS mid-way between antennas, but not blocking it, as this can have a negative impact on signal quality (Fresnel zone clearance).

    Preparing for Alignment Received Signal Level (RSL) Measurements To accurately align the Horizon Compact to its far end peer, you need to monitor the received signal level (RSL). There are two recommended methods for monitoring RSL. These are: 1. Use the CLI command set alignment on to activate the alignment feature at the BNC connector located on the side of the unit.
