ADTRAN TRACER 4x06 Introduction Manual

Converting the Frequency Plan of a TRACER 4x06(L2) System
Introduction
TRACER 4x06 systems are shipped from the factory with the frequency plan programmed as Plan A or
Plan B. Each wireless link must contain a Plan A radio on one end and a Plan B on the other. A frequency
plan conversion may be performed in the field, but should only be attempted if absolutely necessary and
must always be performed by qualified personnel. This document outlines the procedure for changing the
frequency plan of a List 2 (L2) TRACER 4x06 system (TRACER 4106 - P/N 12804106L2A/B or
TRACER 4206 - P/N 12804206L2A/B).
Prerequisite Procedures
Disconnect all cables attached to the TRACER 4x06 system (including power, data,
terminal RS-232, etc.) before performing this procedure.
The current frequency plan configuration is listed on a label located on the rear panel of the unit (near the
Antenna connector). Record the current configuration before beginning this procedure.
Tools and Materials Required
Do not attempt to perform the conversion without the proper tools (see list below). Using
improper tools will damage the unit.
• 5/16" Torque wrench (8 in-lbs)
• 3/16" nut driver
• Phillips-head screw driver
Electronic equipment can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
equipment, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to components.
Place equipment in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing. When
working on equipment, always place it on an approved antistatic mat that is electrically
grounded.
