Exalt ExtendAir Quick Start Manual

align the original side antenna until maximum RSL is achieved. Two or three rounds of alignment at
each end are typically required to achieve the designed target RSL. For initial alignment, a slow
steady sweep in horizontal, then vertical alignment will help identify the antenna center beam by
watching for the highest signal in both planes. RSL reporting is delayed by approximately 1 second.
With this in mind, for fine alignment, it is a good practice to make small adjustments, wait, then
make a measurement, and continue adjusting in small steps.
Telecommunication Connections
Ensure that power and grounding are properly wired and installed before making additional
connections. The included grounding hardware allows connection of a grounding lug to the M5
receptacle near one of the corners of the radio. Place the wave washer next to the head of the screw.
Place flat washers on both sides of the grounding lug. Another grounding connection is available on
the power injector.
After establishing the radio link, connect the Ethernet and T1/E1 (RJ-48C) services matching
configurations made in the GUI. Use a ping test to verify connectivity across Ethernet. A T1/E1 line
or test equipment can help verify T1/E1 connectivity.
Indicators
The power injector has indicators to assist in determining status. The right LED on the
POWER+DATA connector is solid green when proper power is applied. The left LED flashes when
alarms are present on the radio, and is solid green under normal conditions. When this LED flashes,
alarm status can be further determined by pressing the RESET button on the power injector: A solid
LED indicates that there are major alarms on the radio (traffic affecting). A flashing LED indicates
that all alarms are minor (not traffic affecting). Use the Exalt GUI to determine alarm status.
