It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device are allowed within a particular country.

  • Page 16: Basic Features

    Exalt Installation and Management Guide i-series Digital Microwave Radios Basic Features The i-Series Digital Microwave Radios are single integrated units intended for all-indoor or enclosure-based mounting. The associated antenna is typically mounted on a tower or rooftop mast structure with RF cabling running from the antenna location, with an egress through the structure or enclosure, with proper lightning suppression and grounding, to the RF connector of the radio.
  • Page 17 Exalt Installation and Management Guide i-Series Digital Microwave Radios Depending on model, combinations of the following data communication interfaces are provided: • 10/100BaseT Ethernet • Up to 16xT1/E1 interfaces for synchronous voice traffic (number of TDM interfaces is determined by specific model and license-key configuration) •...

Link Engineering and Site Planning Design all terrestrial wireless links prior to purchase and installation. Generally, professional wireless engineering personnel are engaged to determine the viability and requirements for a well-engineered link to meet the users’...

  • Page 19: Familiarization With The I-Series Radios

    Digital Microwave Radios Familiarization with the i-Series Radios The Exalt i-Series radios utilize time division duplex (TDD) radio transmission. This means that the transmitted signal in both directions uses the same center frequency and transmits in one direction for a period of time, and then in the opposite direction for another period of time.

  • Page 20: Shipping Box Contents

    Warranty. Initial Configuration and Back-to-Back Bench Test Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance evaluation over the full operating temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it is strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that are much more difficult to perform once the radio link endpoints are distant from one another.
  • Page 21 Exalt Installation and Management Guide i-Series Digital Microwave Radios Note: Exalt radios with the RDK function are DISABLED when initially shipped. To ENABLE the radio, a valid RDK must be entered on the Administration Settings Page page of the Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI).

  • Page 23: Link Orientation And Synchronization

    Use the Exalt GUI to configure the radio terminals for Radio A and Radio B orientation. Since many other parameters also need to be set, and the Exalt GUI is needed for these configurations, this is the best way to completely configure the radio terminals.

  • Page 27: External Synchronization

    Bandwidth – It is desirable, but not always necessary, to match the bandwidth for all collocated links. For complex networks, an Exalt engineer should review multi-link networks before deployment as several factors can optimize the network for desired performance. External Synchronization Use an external GPS source as an alternative to the internal synchronization source for system synchronization.

  • Page 28: Offset Timing

    This is helpful when Exalt radios are near other devices operating in the same frequency band that also use a timing source, such as GPS. The timing source to the Exalt radios can be adjusted to match the other radio system timing source mechanism.

  • Page 29: Leds

    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 30: Simple Network Management Protocol (Snmp)

    2xE1 or 3xT1. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) The Exalt radios primarily use a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) for radio configuration and management, as described in Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI). In addition, a command line interface (CLI) is provided for serial and/or Telnet access, as described in Command Line Interface (CLI).

  • Page 48: Transmission Line From Egress To Radio

    Antenna Alignment Antennas must be installed at both ends of the planned link to commence precision alignment. Refer to the Exalt white paper, Antenna Alignment. Antennas are typically aligned using the radio hardware for precise alignment. However, there are many very useful tools available to aid in this process, inclusive of devices specifically designed for the purpose of aligning antennas.
