MM-010539-001, Rev. P6G326 PLANNING A FIXED STATION INSTALLATIONCareful planning a preparation of any installation will always benefit the end result. Follow these simplerecommendations when planning your installation:1. Always read and follow all installation instructions, local and national building and electrical codes,and general safety rules.2. Before beginning the installation, collect information from the Site Deployment Order (SDO) specificto the site access such as:• Permission to access the site.• Important contact names and telephone numbers.• Location of and directions to the site.• Keys and/or lock combinations to access the site and equipment shelter (if any), or points ofcontact to obtain them.• Site entry alarm system pass-codes and/or disable keys.• Information about work practices needed to work safely at the site.3. Other important information that may or may not be included on the SDO includes:• Type of mounting—metal pole, wooden pole, tower base, exterior wall, etc.• Drawing or description of each site showing how the equipment is to be installed.• Applicable inspections completed (pole installation, electrical, local build code, etc.).4. When necessary, pre-stage a site installation to become familiar with the specific hardware andcabling, tooling and supplies that are needed to complete the installation.6.1 SITE EVALUATIONBefore installing the VIDA Broadband Client, the System Engineer and installer should plan the siteinstallation. Since higher RF frequencies do not readily pass through trees or buildings, considerationshould be given to the following:• Ensure there are no obstructions (such as buildings or trees) in the radio path between base station andclient units.• Ensure the any future building construction or tree growth will not obstruct the radio path.• Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the Fresnel Zone so there is minimal interference fromobstacles along the radio propagation path.• Ensure the installation adheres to any local and national building codes and permits.• Ensure sufficient electrical power is available at the installation site.• When using directional antennas, align the antenna to maximize the received signal strengthindication (RSSI) from the base station.• Ensure the area around an omni-directional antenna is clear (at least 30 inches) so as not to distort theRF pattern. |
