Figure 4-11: Opening RADWIN Manager window prior to installation - old style IDU-E
A detailed field by field description of the contents of the RADWIN Manager main window
may be found in Chapter 6.
The procedure required to make the link functional has three phases:
1. Link Installation - which we will detail below.
Installation actually gets the link operational by setting the link parameters. It uses a fixed
channel at the lowest possible modulation, BPSK at 6.5Mbps and will work under the harsh
interference condition.
2. Link Configuration - described in Chapter 7.
Configuration provides much the same functionality as Installation, but for a running link.
A fallback to Installation mode is provided for situations which cannot be handled without
resetting the link, such as antenna realignment and IDU or ODU replacement.
Note
During the installation procedure, the definition of all parameters is
automatically applied to both sides of the link.
Caution
• The ODUs as supplied by RADWIN are set up with a factory default
band. If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it
should be done before link Installation. The procedure is set out in
Chapter 20.
• Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations.
