Checklist, Site Survey and Tools

Before performing an installation of a Motorola PTP 300 or a PTP 500 Series sys- tem, ensure that you have read this entire guide and taken note of any safety in- formation contained.

Checklist

•Check the contents of all packages against the packing list.

•Check the Web site for the latest software load.

List of special tools required

•13mm wrench and 22mm wrench for use with the glands.

•RJ45 Crimp Tool (Ensure you have the correct tool for the type of RJ45 being used).

•Personal Computer (PC) with 10, 100 or 1000BaseT Ethernet interface.

•Internet Explorer 6 or higher (recommended), or Firefox 2.0 or higher.

•Ethernet patch cables.

•Crimp tool for grounding lugs (only required when installing connectorized ODU).

•LINKPlanner report for this link.

Pre-installation – Site Survey— Link Planning

A site survey must be performed to identify all the obstructions (trees, buildings, etc) in the path and to assess the risk of interference. This information is important if you are to achieve an accurate link feasibility assessment.

The PTP 300 and the PTP 500 Series are designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS) environments. Link planning enables a link of known quality to be in- stalled. This involves the acquisition of path profile data (using Motorola’s free LINKPlanner utility). The LINKPlanner predicts data rates and reliability over the path. It allows the user to try different antenna heights and RF power settings. When the link is installed the mean path loss can be checked to confirm that the predicted data rate and link reliability is achievable. Motorola LINKPlanner is available to download from http://www.motorola.com/ptp/support

.

Pre-installation – License Keys and Regulatory Conformity

If the units have been purchased as a pair (link) then the License Keys (at the end of this guide or printed on a separate card in the box) will show how the units have been pre-configured to work as a link. Software, license key, unit’s IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, target address, master/slave and arming state are pre-configured.

Check that the Link is configured with the correct region Code, otherwise you will need to re-configure the units with Alternative License Keys before installing and commis- sioning the link. Please refer to Page 6, Step 12 for details on how to change the License Key.
