  • Page 17: Radio Reset

    Exalt’s VLAN communications implementation adheres to the IEEE standard 802.1q. In most cases, an Exalt radio acting as a Layer 2 bridge between two locations is only required to pass traffic with VLAN tagging. Without additional configuration, all Exalt radios support frame sizes in excess of 1900 bytes, which currently supports all defined VLAN packet sizes.

  • Page 18: Simple Network Management Protocol (Snmp)

Keep a record for each end of the radio link and store a copy of these records at the radio location, at the opposite end radio location, and a central record storage location.

  • Page 21: Installation

    Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir G2 Digital Microwave Radios Installation This section presents all tasks required to install the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio. Mechanical Configuration and Mounting The ExtendAir G2 radios are environmentally sealed units intended for deployment outdoors. The device must be deployed within an ambient temperature range as specified, and with non-restrictive airflow around the chassis.

    Note: All injectors used with this product must be 802.3at compliant. Read this section completely before applying power. As an alternative to an off-the-shelf 802.3at injector, Exalt provides modular PoE solutions, including a multi-injector rack mount solution, that can properly power the ExtendAir G2 radio. These modular injectors (models A300505, A300501, and A300502) provide proper power to the radio, but the RESET button on these models does not reset the ExtendAir G2 radio.

  • Page 25: Terminating The Rf Connection

    Do not apply power using a live RJ45 connector. Connect all RJ45 connectors first, and then apply power. Exalt strongly recommends that the power supplies be fused or on a separate breaker to ensure against over-voltage and/or over-current situations and to provide some form of protection to the radio electronics and other devices connected to the same supply.

  • Page 26: Diplexer (Channel Plan) Configuration

    CAUTION! Removal of the diplexer cover requires special care. The instructions in this section must be followed precisely to maintain performance and weatherproof operation. Exalt Limited Hardware Warranty Software License and RMA Procedures Agreement may be void if damage to the radio occurs as a result of improper installation.

  • Page 27: Figure 8 Diplexer Configuration Labels

    Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir G2 Digital Microwave Radios Figure 8 Diplexer configuration labels • The Port label indicates the frequency range of the corresponding port (on the underside of the diplexer). One side is Tx and the other is Rx, depending on how it mounts to the radio.
  • Page 28 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir G2 Digital Microwave Radios Note that the gasket on the center nozzle of the RF section is a tight fit, so this will take some effort. CAUTION! Do not place any object between the seams of the chassis to assist with separation–this will damage the outer diameter gasket.

  • Page 54 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir G2 Digital Microwave Radios • Set the Ethernet ports on the radio and connected equipment to 100/full-duplex for best performance. If the Ethernet ports are set to auto-negotiation, poor throughput performance may be a result, as well as intermittent disconnections of the Ethernet connection.

  • Page 55: Vlan Configuration Page

    VLAN Configuration Page VLAN is disabled as the default setting for Exalt radios. The Exalt radios still pass VLAN and non- VLAN traffic across the link, but do not examine the VLAN traffic or act upon it. Enable VLAN using the Exalt GUI for expanded VLAN support.
  • Page 56 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir G2 Digital Microwave Radios • Enabled & Pass Untagged: To pass desired VLANs across the radio, they must be listed in the lower tables per their respective interfaces. All other VLAN traffic is not passed across the link, and untagged traffic is passed across the link with no changes.
