Black Box systems do not require frequency licenses and the transmission is not affected by electro-magnetic interference or radio frequency interference. The Black Box Pico link can be considered as a virtual fiber in the air, with standard Cat 5 connection at each end.
(depending on the weather conditions). The Black Box heads are usually placed on top of buildings, where clear line of sight is guaranteed and the beam cannot be interrupted.
Appropriate interface converters are needed and system bandwidth must be matched for that. Here we collected some circumstances, where the employment of the Black Box is the most adequate and cost effective solution. Those are: 2.1 Areas with natural or artificial obstacles Where cable is actually not an alternative, like across rivers or railways or in rugged terrain.
Black Box Networks P ICO systems 2.4 ISP connections Where high bandwidth is required. ISP’s can offer high-speed links to their customers or trunks can be established between ISP’s instead of expensive leased lines. C orporate LA N V5.1 Pico Manual v5.1...
ICO systems 3 Installation procedures 3.1 System set-up overview The set up of a Black Box link needs careful planning, thorough site preparation, and accurate installation. We have listed the work that is essential for a successful system set up.
It is not only the building that has to be solid, but the support structure too. Antenna poles, security camera holders are not suitable for the Black Box units. A catalogue of more than 80 mounting frames can be ordered from the manufacturer (both available in printed and CD ROM format.
Black Box Networks P ICO systems Preferred installation sites Concrete wall Brick wall In cases where installations are listed under “AVOID” cannot be avoided than special mounting accessories to be designed and special installations must be used. 4.3 Distance determination Try to get as accurate information about the connection distance as you can in order to get the maximum performance out of the system.
Black Box Networks P ICO systems 4.5 Eye safety No two installations sites are the same. The buildings or structures, the available space and the accessibility of the place will be different in each case. Nevertheless, as a general rule it is very important to select the installation site so, that nobody can look directly into the transmitter.
Black Box Networks P ICO systems 5 Installation procedure For installation purposes the PICO units are factory Pre-Set for 150 meters. If the Pico link distance is less than 50 meters, the beam should be adjusted, with the special tool(see below) 5.1 Installation of the link...
