AR60X Installation Manual

11.Once the fiber is connected to the radio, the radio will begin an internal link calibration. During this time the Link Up LED will blink for approximately 120 seconds for the AR60X.

12.Wait until the Link Up LED is lit solid on both radios.

13.Verify the Link Quality voltage is 3.3V (i.e., error free). Repeat steps 10­13 for the second radio.

When a radio is power cycled, it will execute a limited version of the calibration process. After this time, the link should be functioning. This limited automatic calibration process is also activated if the link is down for more than 5minutes .

14.Remove the test cable from the radio, replace the rear plastic cover and use a wrench

to tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (i.e., when it hits the metal ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete.

Unit powered up no

Unit will be in alignment mode, there will be no automatic

calibration event started until the fiber is connected

Unit powered up then

The radio will perform a single calibration scan and will then go

fiber cable connected

into normal operation mode, regardless of the results of the

for the first time

scan. (Link up or down status has no influence on the scan)

Normal operation

Disconnecting and reconnecting the fiber cables will not cause a

mode

recalibration. A recalibration will only happen if the link is

 

down for more then 50 seconds.

Forced Recalibration

Power cycling the radio and disconnecting then reconnecting

 

the fiber to the powered up radio will start the auto calibration

 

routine again. If the fiber cables stay disconnected the radio will

 

go back into alignment mode.
