Installation and Commissioning

Finalize the Installation

When the alignment process is complete the installer must remember to disarm both units in the link as described in the handbook. On disarm, the radio may automatically reduce the Transmit power to cope with short range operation.

This is necessary for the following reasons:

To turn off audible alignment aid.

To enable Adaptive Modulation.

To clear unwanted installation information from the various systems statistics, and to store the link range for fast link acquisition on link drop.

Take note of the following items for future reference:

Save a copy of the configuration using the “Save and Restore” functionality found under the “System Administration – Configuration” menu.

Take a screen shot or print of the status page.

Note the position and orientation of the antenna, and

Note surrounding objects that may interfere with the link. A photograph is recom- mended.

After 1 hour of operation the mean value of Link Loss on the status page should be within the values given in the LINKPlanner report. Further adjustments of the power levels may be necessary, so please consult the LINKPlanner report notes and ad- just the powers accordingly. You will not be required to reboot the units for that to take effect.

The LINKPlanner may need re-running to account for new known obstacles any time during the operation of the link.

Note that for short ranges and for links installed when Radar is Enabled, the PTP 300 and PTP 500 Series software will adjust automatically the maximum Transmit Power when the unit is disarmed.
