When returning equipment, be sure to write the RMA number on the outside of the shipping carton. 580-00507, rev 1 7 of 46 GE60 Installation Manual TM 2 Site Planning 2.1 General Before the start of an installation a survey should be conducted of the proposed area of the site(s). The survey personnel should be fully familiar with the details required to install the an E60 radio system. FE60 and FE60X radios transport Fast Ethernet over the wireless connection

(100Mbps full duplex) GE60 and GE60X radios transport Gigabit Ethernet over the wireless connection

(1000Mbps full duplex) AR60 and AR60X radios have an adaptive rate over the wireless connection, depending on the fade margin in the link the radio will transmit either Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet over the air 2.2 Equipment Checklist The survey team will need the following equipment:

Binoculars GPS Navigation Device Tape Measure Site Survey Report Form 2.3 Line of Sight (LOS) The E60 Wireless Ethernet link requires Line-of-Sight for proper operation. Fortunately, the links are relatively short and obstructions in the path can easily be identified. Binoculars can ease viewing in poor light conditions. The planning should include an investigation into future building plans that could block the LOS path, and other long-term incremental obstructions such as trees. Intermittent obstructions such as aircraft at a nearby airport should also be considered. The following table details the minimum clearance needed from obstacles near the path in order to ensure the radios will operate properly. 580-00507, rev 1 8 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Path Length

The ideal location should provide for ease of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as unimpeded Line-Of-

Site (LOS) to the other site. The following factors should be taken into account:

Type of mountingwall or pole Location where the fiber and DC power wiring will enter/exit the building Length of cable runs Grounding connection points Obstructions Accessibility 2.6 Cabling The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and power cable from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to all applicable codes and requirements. Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit may be required. The maximum cable run length as specified for the equipment being installed must not be exceeded. The radio requires an LC type connectors on a pair of simplex multi-mode fibers to properly connect to the radio and the users network equipment. Single-mode fiber is not a current option supported by the radio. The network equipment end of the fibers should be terminated with connectors that match the network equipment fiber interface. Fiber Cable Length Up to 270 meters Up to 500 meters Cable Type 62.5/125 m 50/125 m Table 2-3: Fiber Cable Types All radios in the E60 product line include a 100-240 VAC power adaptor suitable for indoor operation that converts the AC voltage from the standard electrical outlet in the wall to DC voltage. Our radio requires a minimum of 15.0 VDC (24.0 VDC maximum) up the power cable to the radio to function properly. When planning the cable run from the indoor mounted AC power adaptor to the radio unit, it is critical to use the cable gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The electrical cable that is used outside the building must be outdoor rated (i.e., weather-protected) providing a single pair of wires necessary to power the equipment. The required DC power cable is 12 gauge, 2 wire (i.e., 12/2) rated for outdoor use. 580-00507, rev 1 12 of 46 TM DC Cable Length Up to 250 meters GE60 Installation Manual Minimum Cable Size Outside Diameter of DC Cable Jacket (min-max)*

*Note: Specification is for the outdoor weather-protected portion of the DC cable entering the radio enclosure. The indoor portion of the DC cable must comply with local building and/or electrical codes in your area. Figure 2-3 (left) details a standard 12-gauge wire that has been fitted with the power connectors (provided) for the radios internal power supply necessary to mate with the provided power cord. A standard crimping/splicing tool (not provided) is required to terminate the power connectors onto the 12-gauge cable required for use with the E60 products. Figure 2-3: 12-gauge DC power cable with crimp connectors 2.7 Grounding & Lightning Protection WARNING!

Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces electromagnetic interference, provides lightning protection, and protects against electrical discharge. The source and connection points for the building-to-earth ground in the vicinity of the antenna location should be determined. It is recommended to integrate the radio ground into the building ground utilizing the pole mount hardware. For wall or ungrounded pole mounts connect a grounding wire to the grounding point on the radio. Select the size of the ground wire based on the National Electrical Code. 580-00507, rev 1 13 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual In addition to grounding the equipment, BridgeWave strongly recommends, and local building codes may require, the DC electrical cable to be protected from lightning strikes. You may use a Polyphaser surge suppressor, model # IS-PSP-24 (or equivalent model from another manufacturer). The surge suppressor must be installed at the point where the DC electrical cable exits/enters the building. The Polyphaser device is available from the following companies:

1. Read these instructions before beginning installation. Caution should be used. Qualified persons experienced with antenna assembly and installation are required for installation. 2. BridgeWave Communications Inc. disclaims any responsibility or liability for damage or injury resulting from incorrect or unsafe installation practices. 3. The antenna has been formed to a very close tolerance parabolic shape. Careful handling and assembly is required to avoid denting the reflector, which would degrade antenna performance. 1. Attach the upper pole mount. Confirm that the Mount is centered as shown. Tighten bolts Securely Figure 3-2.1 580-00507, rev 1 24 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 2.

Place the radio in the yokethe two up/down pivot bolts should rest in the Us cut in the yoke. Note that when the radio comes from the factory, the mounting plates are in the vertical polarization position, that is, the diamond marking on the radio (see insert below) on the front of the radio housing is to the right when viewed from the front. For horizontal polarization, the mounting plates should be moved so that the diamond is at the top when viewed from the front. Figure 3-5: Polarization diamond orientations: horizontal (left) and vertical (right) Note: The blue color label indicates a high band radio and the red color label indicates a low band radio See Figure 3-5 for further explanation and visual image of horizontal vs. vertical polarization. CAUTION!

It is critically important during installation to ensure the radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization (horizontal-horizontal or vertical-

vertical). A link that has a radio on one side of the link set in the horizontal polarization and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization will not operate properly. Further, it is also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with a low-band radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior to installation check each radio to verify one is a high-band and the other is a low-band version. The label on the radio will indicate the band (blue for high or red for low). 580-00507, rev 1 27 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 2. Once the radio has been placed in the yoke mount, insert the bolt in the lower portion of the yoke to secure the radio to the yoke. Tighten both the pivot bolts and the lower yoke bolts enough such that the radio is secured in the mount but is still able to be moved back and forth easily. Figure 3-6: Detail of Radio in Yoke Mount and the Up/Down Pivot Bolt. Note that the lower bolt required to secure the radio to the mount has not yet been inserted in the picture above. Note: Use both flat washer & split lock washer on lower yoke bolt 580-00507, rev 1 28 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 3.6.1 Antenna and Radio installation 5. Install Antenna Slip antenna over pivot pin, ensuring that the elevation adjust pin is engaged with slot in adaptor plate. Secure the antenna with two (2) x 3/8-16 bolts, lock washer, flat washer and nylon washers attach antenna to the alignment plate. Figure 3-7.1 Note that when the radios come from the factory, they are mounted on the back of the antenna in the vertical polarization position, that is, the diamond marking (see insert below) on the front of the radio housing is to the right when viewed from the front of the radio. For horizontal polarization, the radio needs to be removed from the antenna and rotated so the diamond is at the top when viewed from the front. 580-00507, rev 1 29 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Figure 3-8.1: Polarization diamond orientations: horizontal (right) and vertical (left) Note: The blue color label indicates a high band radio and the red color label indicates a low band radio CAUTION!

It is critically important during installation to ensure the radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization (horizontal-horizontal or vertical-

vertical). A link that has a radio on one side of the link set in the horizontal polarization and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization will not operate properly. Further, it is also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with a low-band radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior to installation check each radio to verify one is a high-band and the other is a low-band version. The label on the radio will indicate the band (blue for high or red for low). 6. Verify that the four (4) captive 3/8-16 bolts with lock and flat washer are in place. A inch open-end wrench is required to tighten them. It is important that all four screws are tightened evenly (hand tight, 1 to 2 turns each and finally until the lock washer is flattened) Figure 3-9.1 Captive radio bolt detail 580-00507, rev 1 30 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 7. Attach the radio to the back of the antenna and tighten the four (4) bolts. See 6. for details. Figure 3-10.1 Attaching the radio to the back of the antenna 8.Adjust azimuth (Side to Side) 1.

Secure the 4 Azimuth lock bolts

(tighten until lock washers are flatend) TM GE60 Installation Manual Caution! It is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any elevation adjustment is done. The very narrow beamwidth of this antenna (0.6) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa. 8. Adjust elevation (up - down) 2. Rotate Elevation adjust hex nut as required to set correct elevation. 3. Tighten all bolts after the elevation is set. 1. Loosen (2) antenna mounting bolts Figure 3-12.1 Elevation adjustment 580-00507, rev 1 32 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 3.7 Cable Installation 1. Fiber Cabling Install a duplex multi-mode fiber from the radio to the network termination equipment (switch or router with 1000Base-SX port). The cable should be looped around the inside of the enclosure to provide strain-relief. Do not connect the fibers to the radios fiber ports at this time. The connectors on the radio end of the fiber require simplex LC connectors; the connectors on the switch/router end should mate to the network equipment. Note: The simplex LC connectors for the radio need to be inserted individually through the slip-fit connectors on the radio, as there is not sufficient room for both to fit through at the same time. 2. Connect fibers at the network equipment. It is important not to connect the fibers to the radio until after aligning the radio as the radio performs an automatic calibration once the fiber is inserted into the radio and this calibration will not operate properly if the radio is not properly aligned. Power Cabling Select indoor location, with easy cable routing to the radio, for the AC power adaptor. Normally it is convenient, but not required, to place the adaptor near the network termination equipment. Ensure the DC wire used is 12-gauge type and no longer than 250 meters. 2. 3. Connect the provided DC Connectors onto the 12-guage wire using a splicing/crimping tool. It may be necessary to trim a few strands from the ends of thicker stranded cables to more easily fit the crimp connectors. Install the DC power cable and attach to the AC adaptor using the supplied crimp connectors. Do not connect the power jack to the radio at this time. IMPORTANT: Be sure to first connect the DC power crimp connectors before inserting the power plug into the power jack in the radio. Minor electrical sparks may be noticed if the sequence above is not followed; however, these sparks will not cause any harm to the radio or people. 1. 4. 5. 580-00507, rev 1 33 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Figure 3-7: Front view of fiber and power cable installed on a vertically polarized E60 unit. Figure 3-8: Inside view of fiber and power cable connected E60 or E60X unit Note: The fiber cable is inserted through the straight through fitting on the left and the power cable is inserted through the fitting on the right. Both the cables have been looped around the inside of the enclosure to minimize tension on the cables when connected to the radio and to maintain proper bend-radius of the fiber cable. 580-00507, rev 1 34 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Ground Cabling The preferred method for grounding the radio unit is to ground the mast (or wall-mount bracket) to a ground source, since this provides the largest grounding surface contact possible. If this is not possible, then use the following procedure:

1. Attach the lug of the copper ground cable provided with the radio to one of the two

#8 holes at the bottom of the radio using a #8-32 bolt, #8 lock washer and #8 flat washers. 2. Connect other end of the ground cable to a nearby ground location. 580-00507, rev 1 35 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 3.8 Antenna Alignment E60 systems 1. Place the radio in the mounting bracket, make sure both bolts slide to the bottom of the cutouts. 2. Tighten mounting bolts just enough to allow radio to pivot up/down and right/left with minimal effort. DO NOT CONNECT EITHER THE DC OR FIBER CABLES TO THE RADIO AT THIS POINT! Tilt the radio so that it is roughly points towards the other end of the link. 3. Insert the Visual Alignment Tool (VAT) into one of the 4 holes in the front (antenna) face of the radio. The VAT is used to precisely orient (align) the radio in the correct direction. Select the hole that allows the most convenient viewing of the other end of the link. The best viewing is achieved with your eye ~13 inches (~33cm) from the VAT mirror. Move the radio such that it is aimed at the point tangent to the top of the red indicator when all three indicators (green/red/green) are in a line with equal gaps between the indicators. Figure 3-9: View of VAT installed in the left hand side-mounting hole 4. Tilt the radio up/down and right/left so that the radio at the other end of the link is positioned at the top of the red indicator. See example on the next page. 580-00507, rev 1 36 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual R a d io a t fa r e n d o f lin k T h e a lig n m e n t a id s n e e d to b e in a s tra ig h t lin e .

6. Connect DC power to the radio. 7. Verify that the Power LED is lit. If the Power LED is not lit, use voltmeter to verify correct voltage and polarity at radio. To reverse the power polarity, unplug the power jack and swap the crimp connectors for the two conductors. 8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on other side of the link. 9. Verify Link Up LEDs are lit on both radios. 10. Slightly rotate each radio up/down and left/right to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. [If it was not possible to use the VAT to visually align the radios, then the radios must be rotated at least ten degrees on each side of the visually-perceived alignment center to ensure that the true maximum RSL voltage is found; note that the width of the center beam is only 1.4 degrees and the first side-lobe beam is only 2.5 degrees off from center.] Set the radio in the position that results in the highest RSL voltage reading. See Section 3.9 to determine the proper use of the supplied test cable in order to read the RSL voltage. Note: Verify that the RSL voltage falls within the expected range based on the graph in Appendix A. 580-00507, rev 1 37 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 11. Begin to tighten the mounting bolts. It is important to tighten the bolts in the following order. First start with the bolts that control the left/right movement of the radio. These are the bolts on the yoke portion of the mount behind the radio. Start by tightening the bolt closest to the pole or wall. Once this is tightened, move to the bolt directly in front of the bolt you just tightened and slowly tighten this bolt. While tightening the bolts be careful that the radio does not move during the process. As these bolts are tightened up/down movement of the radio may occur due to the seating of the mounting bracket and radio yoke. Check the RSL voltage reading to ensure it is still at its maximum level, and adjust vertical tilt if required. Next, tighten the bolts that allow the up/down movement of the radio. First tighten the lower bolts on both sides of the yoke bracket. Once the lower bolts are tightened on both sides of the radio, tighten the upper bolts. 12. Connect the fiber cable to one of the radios at a time. The fibers should already be connected to active network equipment. 13. Verify the Fiber LEDs on each radio are lit solid. Note: The fiber integrity indication on the network equipment could show up or down independent of the link status. Ones the radio link is up and network equipment connected on both sides of the link the network equipment will indicate fiber integrity. 14. 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 30 seconds. 15. Wait until the Link Up LED will be lit solid on both radios. 16. Verify the Link Quality voltage is 3.3V (i.e., error free). Repeat steps 10-12 for the second radio. Note: When a radio is power cycled, it will re-execute the calibration process. After this time, the link should be functioning. This automatic calibration process is also activated if the link is down for more than 50 seconds. Also, if using a loop back fiber connector at one end of the link for test purposes, note that the radio connected to actual network equipment must complete auto calibration prior to connecting the loop back cable at the other end. 17. Remove the VAT from the radio, replace the back 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. 580-00507, rev 1 38 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 3.8.1 Turning on an E60X system 1. Finish the installation as described in Chapter 3.6 and 3.7 2. Ensure fiber cables are still disconnected!

3. Connect DC power to the radio. 4. Verify that the Power LED is lit. If the Power LED is not lit, use voltmeter to verify correct voltage and polarity at radio. To reverse the power polarity, unplug the power jack and swap the crimp connectors for the two conductors. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on other side of the link. 6. Verify Link Up LEDs are lit on both radios. 7. Slightly rotate each antenna up/down and left/right to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. To ensure that the antennas are not aligned on a side-lobe, they must be rotated at least ten degrees on each side of the visually-perceived alignment center to ensure that the true maximum RSL voltage is found; note that the width of the center beam is only 0.6 degrees and the first side-lobe beam is only 1.5 degrees off from center. Set the antenna in the position that results in the highest RSL voltage reading. See Section 3.9 to determine the proper use of the supplied test cable in order to read the RSL voltage. Note: Verify that the RSL voltage falls within the expected range based on the graph in Appendix A. 8. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely and the RSL voltage remains unchanged during tightening. Keep in mind that it is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any adjustment on the elevation is done. The very narrow beamwidth of this antenna (0.6) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa. 9. Connect the fiber cable to one of the radios at a time. The fibers should already be connected to active network equipment. 10. Verify the Fiber LEDs on each radio are illuminated solid. Note: The fiber integrity indication on the network equipment could show up or down independent of the link status. Once the radio link is up and network equipment connected on both sides of the link, the network equipment will indicate fiber integrity. 580-00507, rev 1 39 of 46 TM GE60 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 30 seconds. 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 10-12 for the second radio. Note: When a radio is power cycled and its fiber cable disconnected, it will re-

execute the calibration process. After this time, the link should be functioning. This automatic calibration process is also activated if the link is down for more than 5 minutes. Also, if using a loop back fiber connector at one end of the link for test purposes, note that the radio connected to actual network equipment must complete auto calibration prior to connecting the loop back cable at the other end. 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. 580-00507, rev 1 40 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Auto Calibration States Description Unit will be in alignment mode, there will be no automatic calibration event started until the fiber is connected The radio will perform a single calibration scan and will then go into normal operation mode, regardless of the results of the scan. (Link up or down status has no influence on the scan) Disconnecting and reconnecting the fiber cables will not cause a recalibration. A recalibration will only happen if the link is down for more then 50 seconds. Power cycling the radio will start the auto calibration routine if the fiber cables are connected. If the fiber cables are disconnected the radio will go back into alignment mode. State Unit powered up no fiber connected Unit powered up and fiber cable connected Normal operation mode Forced Recalibration 3.9 Test Cable The alignment procedure is optimized through the use of the provided test cable. This test cable is designed for use with a digital voltmeter (not provided) to read the Link Quality and Receive Signal Level (RSL) voltage generated by the radios receiver. 1. To read the RSL value of the radio, insert GND (ground) and RSL banana plugs into the voltmeter. Note the RSL voltage. The voltage may be fluctuating; in this case, note the maximum value seen. 580-00507, rev 1 41 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual Figure 3-10: Top view of test cable provided to check Link Quality & Receive Signal level 2. To read the Link Quality value of the radio, insert GND (ground) and QUAL banana plugs into the voltmeter. Note the Link Quality voltage. After the radios have performed an auto calibration the quality voltage should read 3.3v if the link is aligned on the main antenna beam and there are no obstructions (i.e., trees, buildings, etc) in the path, the link distance is within the operating parameters of the radio (see Section 2.4 above), and it is not raining heavily. 580-00507, rev 1 42 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 4 Operation of E60, E60X radios & configuration of network equipment The E60 product line has been designed such that it requires no user configuration. During normal operation, the following conditions should exist at the radio:

1 2 3 4 The power LED should be litsolid green;

The fiber LED should be litsolid green;

The Link Up LED should be litsolid green; and The Link Quality BER voltage should be 3.3v, although dips in voltage are acceptable during periods of precipitation. Figure 4-1: Link Up, Fiber and Pwr (Power) LEDs indicating link is up and operating The E60(X) radios them self do not require periodic maintenance. However, each end of the link should be periodically inspected for visible damage or excessive accumulation of dirt on the antennas radome (the front cover of the radio). 580-00507, rev 1 43 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 4.1 Configuring Network Equipment The networking equipment that is connected to an E60 product should first be checked to ensure it operates properly over a wired connection. Once this has been confirmed this will save troubleshooting steps after the radio is installed and connected to the network equipment. We strongly recommend the network equipment on both sides of the link be configured as follows:

1000Mbps full-duplex

No port auto negotiation and no flow control Port configured not to enter error-disable state due to link up/down transitions (since these may occur during periods of heavy rain) 4.2 Check port statistics on the network equipment In the event the network equipment connected to the GE60 offers the capability below, we recommend you verify the following on the network equipment:

Link integrity

There are no receive errors on the link Network traffic is flowing in both directions. 580-00507, rev 1 44 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual 5 Troubleshooting The following table provides a summary of possible problems you might encounter while installing a BridgeWave GE60 link, along with possible causes and their solutions. Problem No power to radio Possible Cause Wrong polarity of supply voltage The supply voltage measured at the radio (when connected) is below 15Vdc Fiber light lit at radio but not on network equipment Radio link is down and/or fiber not connected between remote radio and network equipment. TX and RX fiber swapped Error in the configuration of the Networking equipment One or both of the fibers have been damaged Can not establish the wireless link Units are not properly aligned Obstacle in link Resolution Use a DMV to determine the polarity and voltage on the DC cable. (See page12) The cable run is too long or the cable gauge is too small. Shorten the length of the cable or use larger gauge cable. (See page 12) This is normal behavior. Complete end-to-end installation and re-check. Try swapping the TX and RX fibers at one/both ends of the connection Verify the configuration of the network equipment:

Port is turned on and set to 1000Mbps Full Duplex and auto negotiation is turned off. Use a loopback connector at the radio to verify the radio is OK, repeat at the networking equipment. Visually inspect the fiber cable. Use the VAT device as described in the manual. (See page 27 28) Verify the Line of Sight conditions and check for required clearance (See page 8 for clearance distances). 580-00507, rev 1 45 of 46 TM GE60 Installation Manual RSL voltage lower then expected Incorrect calculation of link distance Antennas aligned on side lobes Antennas set to different polarizations Installed two high or low band radios in one link Link exceeds maximum specified range Fibers are not connected Antennas are not aligned for maximum RSL Auto calibration not completed Interference Low link quality voltage Verify that the calculation tool used and the GPS used both use the same annotation system
