The installation steps are detailed in the following sections.
Outdoor installation
Preparing the ODU before Deployment
Each ODU must be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior to deployment in
the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process is quite straight-forward and
described in Chapter 19.
Mounting the ODU
The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit
is used to secure the ODU.
A FA4800 link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configuration. Both ODUs must be
installed, and the antennas aligned for maximum throughput.
Note
A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.
