ExtendAir® eMIMO™ Digital Microwave Radios Introduction Note: Read this entire document before attempting to install Exalt digital microwave radios. The reader is strongly encouraged to obtain a copy of the Installation and Management Guide (I&M) for this product. The I&M is embedded in the radio’s graphical user interface (GUI) and can be saved locally (as described in this document).
802.3af compliant or 802.3at compatible PoE. CAUTION: It is critical that only 802.3af or 802.3at PoE solutions are used with the radio. Do not mix solutions from other Exalt products. It is strongly recommended that the AC mains supply or DC supply be fused or...
Connect the opposite end of this cable to the management computer’s Ethernet port. Use a browser to launch the Exalt GUI on the radio. The computer accessing the Exalt GUI must match the IP subnet of the radio. The radio’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1. Since all radios are configured with the same IP address at manufacture, change at least one radio’s IP address to...

ExtendAir® eMIMO™ Digital Microwave Radios Mounting As shown in the figure at the right, rc models mount using a flat plate and band clamps to secure the unit to the pole. No elevation or azimuth adjustment is required as adjustment is made using the antenna mechanics.
The total length of the PoE cable, including the cable from the power injector to the connected network equipment must not exceed 100 meters. Aligning Antennas Antennas must be installed at both ends of the planned link to commence precision alignment. Refer to the Exalt white paper, Antenna Alignment. 208398-002 2014-01-07...

ExtendAir® eMIMO™ Digital Microwave Radios Antennas are typically aligned using the internal alignment buzzer and the RSL value reported on the radio GUI. Configure one side of the link as Radio A and the other side as Radio B, with the desired link frequency and Bandwidth setting at both ends, and the maximum transmit power allowed.
Another grounding connection is available on the power injector. After establishing the radio link, connect the Ethernet services matching configurations made in the Exalt GUI. Use a ping test to verify connectivity across Ethernet. Indicators The PoE/ETH1 connector inside the radios have LEDs to indicate status: ...
