    Overview This document provides pre-configuration set-up and operational instructions for the Cambium TD-90 antenna positioner. The positioner is designed to work with Cambium based Point to Point and point to multi-point solutions. This manual uses the Cambium PTP 700 series with integrated antenna to illustrate setup and operation.

  • Page 6: Overview And Td-90 Modes Of Operation

    Overview and TD-90 modes of operation The TD-90 has three modes of operation identified as Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3. All three modes provide automated alignment and require different levels of configuration. The TD-90 software is designed to default to Mode 3 if mode 1 is not defined and use mode 2 if GPS targeting data is available. A high-level description is provided below followed by a step by step walk through of each mode.
