6. Verify Link Up LED’s are lit solid on both radios.
7. Slightly rotate each radio up/down and left/right to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. [Note
that the width of the center beam is only 1.4 degrees and the first side-lobe beam is only 2.5
degrees off from center.] Set the radio in the position that results in the highest RSL voltage
reading. See Section 3.9 to determine the proper use of the supplied test cable in order to read
the RSL voltage.
Verify that the RSL voltage falls within the expected range based
on the graph in Appendix B.
8. Begin to tighten the mounting bolts. It is important to tighten the bolts in the following order.
First start with the bolts that control the left/right movement of the radio. These are the bolts on
the yoke portion of the mount behind the radio. Start by tightening the bolt closest to the pole or
wall. Once this is tightened, move to the bolt directly in front of the bolt you just tightened and
slowly tighten this bolt. While tightening the bolts be careful that the radio does not move during
the process. As these bolts are tightened up/down movement of the radio may occur due to the
seating of the mounting bracket and radio yoke. Check the RSL voltage reading to ensure it is still
at its maximum level, and adjust vertical tilt if required. Next, tighten the bolts that allow the
up/down movement of the radio. First tighten the lower bolts on both sides of the yoke bracket.
Once the lower bolts are tightened on both sides of the radio, tighten the upper bolts.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 8 for the peer radio.
10. Connect to the web management interface of each unit and perform an Auto-Calibration from the
‘Maintenance’ page on one end of the link at a time.
11. After both ends of the link are calibrated check the quality voltage using the test cable and a
voltmeter and confirm it indicates 3.3V on each end of the link (i.e., error free).
12. Remove the VAT from the radio, replace the back plastic cover and hand 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.
