Finalize the Installation
When the alignment process is complete the installer must remember to disarm both units
in the link as described in the handbook. On disarm, the radio may automatically reduce the
Transmit power to cope with short range operation.
This is necessary for the following reasons:
•
To turn off audible alignment aid.
•
To enable Adaptive Modulation.
•
To clear unwanted installation information from the various systems statistics, and
to store the link range for fast link acquisition on link drop.
Take note of the following items for future reference:
•
Save a copy of the configuration using the “Save and Restore” functionality found
under the “System Administration – Configuration” menu.
•
Take a screen shot or print of the status page.
•
Note the position and orientation of the antenna, and
•
Note surrounding objects that may interfere with the link. A photograph is recom-
mended.
•
After 1 hour of operation the mean value of Link Loss on the status page should be
within the values given in the LINKPlanner report. Further adjustments of the power
levels may be necessary, so please consult the LINKPlanner report notes and ad-
just the powers accordingly. You will not be required to reboot the units for that to
take effect.
•
The LINKPlanner may need re-running to account for new known obstacles any
time during the operation of the link.
Note that for short ranges and for links installed when Radar is Enabled, the PTP 300
and PTP 500 Series software will adjust automatically the maximum Transmit Power
when the unit is disarmed.
