1.2.4 External Antennas
RADWIN radios come with integrated or external antennas. RADWIN oers many kinds of external
antennas. Any external antenna (either provided by RADWIN or any 3
rd
party) is compable to any RADWIN
radio with external antenna connectors.
1.2.5 Method of Work
Both the base staons and the subscriber units communicate respecvely, with the service provider and
users. The communicaon protocol for both the service provider and the users is Ethernet. See Figure 18:
RADWIN 5000 General Connecon Scheme.
• A PoE device is connected to power and the communicaons network:
▪ On the base staon side, the PoE is connected to the backhaul network.
▪ On the subscriber unit side, the PoE is connected to end‐user equipment: routers, WiFi devices, etc.
• The radio units and PoE devices are also connected to ground.
• The Base Staon communicates with the Subscriber Unit or Units via the air interface.
These models shall be located in a Restricted Access Locaon and be accessible
only to a skilled person familiar with the unit construcon and possible hazards.
Check the voltage on the antenna connector before access. Possibility of
hazardous voltage 56VDC appearance exists on accessible antenna connecons.
Use Personal Protecon Equipment (e.g. insulang gloves) when working with
the units or antennas.
Connect the shield of antenna coaxial cable to protecve earth when a coaxial
cable is used.
