Page 18: Chapter 2 Overview
Chapter 2 Overview WinLink™ 1000 System Components WinLink™ 1000 point-to-point solution is made up of a number of key components. Typically, each side of the link comprises an Indoor Unit (IDU), an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an antenna. A CAT5e cable from the IDU to the ODU provides both Ethernet and Power.
Page 19: The Indoor Unit (Idu)
WinLink™ 1000 System Components The Indoor Unit (IDU) The IDU provides TDM and Ethernet ports to connect to the link. It also provides power to the ODU. The IDU is available in four configurations: IDU-E A compact, half 19 inch wide, 1U plastic unit, providing up to two Ethernet ports and up to two E1/T1 interfaces.

Chapter 11 Appendix C: AIND Alignment Use this procedure when using the all indoor system WinLink-ANID or manually aligning two WinLink units. To achieve the best benefit and link budget from the WinLink™ 1000 installation, the link antennas must be aligned; the two antennas should exactly face each other.
Page 143: Performing Winlink Aind Alignment
Appendix C: AIND Alignment number of E1/T1 services available at a specified distance. In all-indoor type installations, a long transmission line (RF cable) between the radio and antenna will be used; oftentimes over 100’. In this case the attenuation (RF loss) of the cable must be determined (for both sides) and entered as a dB loss in the Link Budget calculator.
Page 144: Configuring The Link
Appendix C: AIND Alignment 6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the reading on the SA is equal or as close as possible to the calculated receive signal (for Rx Power Level, see Expected Signal Level for AIND radios). 7. When the SA reads the expected receive signal, the antennas are aligned and there is an indication of a good link between the sites.
Page 145 Appendix C: AIND Alignment • Reduce the distance of the link–move the equipment from one site closer to the other site–where it is possible to actually see the antennas with the naked eye. • If you now get the expected receive signal level, you can assume that the equipment is operational, and the problem arises from interference between the sites.
Page 146: Chapter 12 Appendix D: Antenna
Chapter 12 Appendix D: Antenna An antenna is the radiating and receiving element from which the radio signal, in the form of RF power, is radiated to its surroundings and vice versa. The transmission range is a function of the antenna gain and transmitting power.
Page 147 Appendix D: Antenna The Parabolic dish antenna is a high-gain, reflector antenna used for radio, television, and data communications. The relatively short wavelength of electromagnetic (radio) energy at these frequencies allows reasonably sized reflectors to exhibit the very desirable highly directional response for both receiving and transmitting.
Page 148: Chapter 13 Appendix E: Hub Site Synchronization
Chapter 13 Appendix E: Hub Site Synchronization When several units are collocated at a common hub site, interference may occur from one unit to another. ODU units are supplied with special hardware for the collocation of up to eight units from a central site.
