11. Once the fiber is connected to the radio, the radio will begin an internal link calibration. During
this time the Link Up LED will blink for approximately 120 seconds for the AR60X.
12. Wait until the Link Up LED is lit solid on both radios.
13. Verify the Link Quality voltage is 3.3V (i.e., error free). Repeat steps 10­13 for the second radio.
When a radio is power cycled, it will execute a limited version of
the calibration process. After this time, the link should be
functioning. This limited automatic calibration process is also
activated if the link is down for more than 5minutes .
14. Remove the test cable from the radio, replace the rear plastic cover and use a wrench
to tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (i.e., when it hits the metal
ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete.
Auto Calibration States
State Description
Unit powered up no
fiber connected Unit will be in alignment mode, there will be no automatic
calibration event started until the fiber is connected
Unit powered up then
fiber cable connected
for the first time The radio will perform a single calibration scan and will then go
into normal operation mode, regardless of the results of the
scan. (Link up or down status has no influence on the scan)
Normal operation
mode Disconnecting and reconnecting the fiber cables will not cause a
recalibration. A recalibration will only happen if the link is
down for more then 50 seconds.
Forced Recalibration Power cycling the radio and disconnecting then reconnecting
the fiber to the powered up radio will start the auto calibration
routine again. If the fiber cables stay disconnected the radio will
go back into alignment mode.
