CONFIGURING THE RADIO - BASIC APPROACH

NOTE. Default IP addresses and login credentials for the radios:
Low Band Radio IP address:

1. Click on Link Management and then Link Wizard to open the Link Di-
rections window.
NOTE. Only one direction is available for a KM Series DT model that in-
cludes a built-in coupler or OMT. KM Series DT radios that include two
antenna ports may be one-directional or bi-directional (e.g. repeater
configuration).
KM Series ST radios are always one-directional.
2. Clicking on the number of directions opens the next window where
you are offered the choice of editing the configuration or not.
3.
If deciding not to edit this configuration or the one for Link Direction
#2, an Apply window opens.
4. When no further edits to Link Directions are requested, click Submit.
ANTENNA ALIGNMENT
12
1. Following the antenna manufacturer's instructions, adjust the azimuth
and elevation of the antenna.
2. Use the calculated RSL obtained during the link budget process to de-
termine the target RSL voltage.
3. By default, the measured RSL will show the RSL for Transceiver A. For
the KM Series DT dual transceiver radio, the RSL source may be
changed to Transceiver B through a GUI command under Link Diagnos-
tics –> BNC Connector.
4. Setting the voltmeter to read a 0–10 voltage range (and turning off the
Auto-Range feature, if applicable) will assist in reading the RSL.
5. Measure the RSL at the KM Series radio's RSL port. The RSL follows a
typical monotonic response:
RSL (dBm) = -10 VBNC
[e.g. 2.0 VDC @ RSL = -20 dBm, 9.0 VDC @ -90 dBm]
6. Fine-align the antenna following the antenna manufacturer's instruc-
tions to achieve the desired RSL.
