1. Insert the hose clamps through mounting plate and clamp to the pole by applying 3.0 Nm torque. 2. Insert the radio into the mounting plate on the pole. V1000 wall mount Follow the below instructions to mount V1000 to the wall: 1.
Adjustable pole mount Follow the below instructions to mount V1000 to the adjustable pole: 1. Insert the hose clamps through the adjustable pole mount bracket and clamp to the pole by applying 3.0 Nm torque. 2. Insert the radio into the adjustable pole mount bracket on the pole. V1000 alignment The V1000 CN requires minimal effort to align as the internal antenna can beam steer +/- 45 degrees in azimuth and +/- 20 degrees in elevation from boresight.

Operation Theory of operation 60 GHz cnWave™ devices support Facebook connectivity Technology called Terragraph. cnWave™ devices implement IEEE 802.11ay WLAN standard and use 60GHz frequency band for wider spectrum and higher capacity. cnWave™ devices can provide multi-gigabit throughput from 100M to 1.5 KM. Deployment of the devices use Open/R based layer3/IPv6 Mesh for efficient distribution of traffic between the nodes and higher availability of the traffic.
Configuration and Alignment All configurations are done on the E2E except for the initial configuration to connect the PoP DN to the E2E. The configuration parameters are: PoP/DN/CN Nodes deployment The configuration of cnWave™ nodes is handled automatically by the E2E service. However, the first PoP node must be configured manually since connectivity to the E2E controller has not yet been established.
