RADWINManager)todeterminetheexpectedperformance.
3.4Stage2:PhysicalSurvey
Thephysicalsitesurveyreviewstheenvironmentoftheproposedinstallationlocation,to
ensurethatthelinksitesaresuitableforthewirelessnetwork.There sultsofthephysicalsite
surveyshouldberecorded.
 Toperformaphysicalsurvey:
1.Fromthecompassreadingstakeninthepreliminarysurvey,findtheazimuth(hori‐
zontalposition)thattheODUshouldfacetowardsthesecondODU.
2.Usingbinoculars,locateanyobstructionssuchastalltrees,highbuildings,hillsor
mountains.LookforotherRFtowersbetweenthetwosites.Markthelocationsof
theobstructionsonthemap.
3.DeterminethelocationfortheODU(havingregardforexistingrooftopinstallations
andtowerspace).Itshouldbeaboveanyobstructions,consideringtheFresnelzone
(seeLinkBudgetCalculator).
4.IfyouneedtoinstalltheODUonatower,makesurethatthetowerisfarawayfrom
overheadelectricpowerlines.
5.Determinealocationfortheindoorequipment;itshouldbeascloseaspossibleto
theODU.Atanexistingsite,thereisprobablyanequipmentroomwithcable‐routing
channels.
6.MeasureandrecordthepathlengthofthecablefromtheODUpositiontotheindoor
equipmentroom.
7.Determinethegroundandlightningconnectionpointsoftheinstallation.TheODU
andIDUmustbothbegrounded.
8.UsingtheOhmmeter,measureandrecordtheresistanceoftherequiredinstallation
tothegroundingpoint.Theresistancemustbelessthan1Oohm.
9.Reviewtheresultsofthephysicalsitesurvey.Decideifthesiteissuitableforthe
wirelessnetworkinstallation.
• Ifthesiteissuitable,continuewithstage3,theRFsurvey
Note
Itisadvisabletogoonaclearday,soyoucanmoreeasilyseeany
obstructionsbetweenthetwosites.
Note
TheIDU‐ODUcablelengthlimitis100m,inaccordancewith10/100BaseT
interface.
