12 Chapter 2 Site Survey Information Before the installation of the equipment, a site survey should be completed and this data should be available to the installation team. This data will assist the installer to correctly install the SU-O, and to understand the operating characteristics of the SU-O system during configuration and testing. 2.1 RF Interference Frequency planning is an essential component of installation and it is very important to test for RF interference at every installation site. The SU-O will not achieve full operational capability if there is excessive interference on the same or adjacent RF channels. 2 RF interference may be caused by another wireless system operating on the same or adjacent RF channels. A simple test may be performed using the RF Monitoring Tool available from Redline. This software tool runs on most PCs, and can be used to determine if a selected RF channel is generally free from interference. 2.2 Path Profile The site survey should identify the optimum location for mounting the SU-O. For maximum performance, there should be a direct line of sight to the receiving wireless system. Figure 2: Site Survey - Fresnel Zone Radius The antenna should be positioned to provide maximum clearance within the first Fresnel zone of the direct path (as high as possible, on either a tall building or tower). A clear line-of-sight (LOS) path requires clearance above natural and man-made objects by at least 60% of the First Fresnel zone Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 12 of 44 May 27, 2010

13 The SU-O will also function under optical line-of-sight (OLOS) conditions; where a clear straight line path exists between the two end points, but the first Fresnel zone is not clear. If the optical path is completely blocked, it may still be possible to establish a non line-of-sight (NLOS) path using reflections and diffraction. A satisfactory multipath RF signal may be obtained by directing the SU-O antenna towards a reflective structure that is also within sight of the sector controller. Figure 3: Site Survey - Non-Line of Sight Deployment The path profile should include the following information: Antenna Location Height Azimuth Elevation angle Expected RSSI Table 4: Site Survey: Path Profile Data Description Instructions to identify the location for installing the antenna. May include blueprints and specify material list. Mounting height for antenna. Horizontal aiming direction for the antenna (magnetic or GPS compass) Vertical aiming for antenna (spirit level). Use the Link Budget tool to determine the expected receive signal strength indication (RSSI). The expected RSSI value can be determined using the Link Budget Tool from Redline Communications Inc. See the following section for more details Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 13 of 44 May 27, 2010

14 2.3 Link Budget Tool After potential mounting locations have been determined, the RF path and link distance are known. The Link Budget Tool developed by Redline will calculate expected performance of the link for a specified range based on the selection of RF channel, power gain, antenna height, etc. This is useful to determine if the proposed locations are suitable for the intended application. Figure 4: Site Survey - Sample Link Budget Calculation Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 14 of 44 May 27, 2010

15 2.3.1 Precautions when Routing and Installing the Ethernet Cable Check the following items before routing the Ethernet cable from the SU-O: - Examine the building plan to use an existing cable route. - Check drilling requirements for routing the cable through a wall or ceiling. When installing the Ethernet cable: - Do not use connectors as cable-grips to pull cable through raceway or conduit. - Avoid excessive force or stress on the connectors that may damage the cable. The minimum bend radius is 1" (2.5 cm). - Secure the cable along its complete indoor and outdoor length. If installation requires that a connector be removed to facilitate installation through a hole or conduit, it is recommended to cut/replace the standard indoor RJ-45 connector. The outdoor connector is molded directly to the protective cable cover and cannot be repaired or replaced in the field. If the outdoor Ethernet cable must be cut during installation, make this cut at the point of entry to the building (preserving the integrity of the outdoors RJ-45 connector). It is very important to maintain the weatherproof integrity of the outdoor Ethernet cable and ruggedized connector. If installing lightning protection, always use the original outdoor Ethernet cable for connecting to the SU-O and the PoE power adaptor/co switch. Do not substitute cables to facilitate a longer cable run Protecting Outdoor Cables Temperature and abrasion may damage the outdoor cables and lead to a degradation in service. It is recommended to review the following information about protecting outdoor cables. In extremely hot climates, the outdoor cable may be degraded when the temperature of the metal tower structure exceeds the maximum specified cable rating. In windy climates, excessive abrasion may damage the cables. Redline recommends the use of suitable diameter spiral bound sleeving (generically called 'spiroband') to protect the outdoor cable. This sleeving should be available from most local electrical suppliers. Figure 5: Outdoor Cable Protection - Spiroband Wrap the sleeving around the outdoor cable for at least 300 mm (~12 in) in each direction from bonding points, and any other area the cable is in direct contact with the metal tower. Cable ties can be used in the normal way to secure the cable Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 15 of 44 May 27, 2010

16 2.4 Lightning Protection Recommendations If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system, the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only. WARNING: The following are general recommendations for system installation. The SU-O systems must be installed by a qualified professional installer and follow local and national building codes and codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct lightning hit may cause serious damage or injury even if these guidelines are followed for the system. Figure 6: Lightning Protection - Placement & Wiring If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system, the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only. 1. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to the building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point used for the tower or mast. 2. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable as close to the SU-O unit as practical. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point used for the tower or mast Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 16 of 44 May 27, 2010

17 3. Provide direct grounding from the SU-O, the mounting bracket, the antenna, and the Ethernet cable surge protection to the same ground bus on the building. Use the grounding screws provided for terminating the ground wires. 4. All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage. Lightning protection and grounding practices per the local and national electrical codes serve to minimize possible equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. The two main reasons for these damages can be summarized as follows: i) Lack of installed lightning protection equipment could cause equipment failures from lightning induced currents. ii) Tower/Antenna sites are not grounded properly and as a result could conduct high lightning strike energy. The grounding system should provide a low-impedance path to ground for the lightning-induced current. A loose ground connection is a tremendous source of noise and can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction. The tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable shield and center conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable. 5. If the Redline-supplied PoE power adaptor is used, the AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE power adaptor should be connected to the building grounding system Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 17 of 44 May 27, 2010

18 Chapter 3 Installing the SU-O Step 1 - SU-O Pre-Inspection This inspection must be completed before installing the SU-O. Step 1 Check Perimeter Screws Figure 7: SU-O Pre-Inspection Points Check that the (Qty. 8) perimeter screws with lock washers and washers (Item 1) are present. Contact Redline support if there are any shortages. Step 2 Check RF jam nut Check that the N-Type connector (Item 2, SU-ORF only) jam nut (Item 3) is secure. If in doubt, turn the nut clockwise by hand until finger-tight, and then use a wrench to rotate the nut an additional ¼ turn. Inspect the threads of the N-Type connector body (Item 2) and ensure that they are clean and dry. Step 3 Ground Screw Check that the Ground Screw with lock washer and washer (Item 4) is present and turns freely. Contact Redline support if there are any shortages. Step 4 Checking Ethernet Cable Connector Jam Nut Check that the connector jam nut (Item 5) is secure. If in doubt, turn the nut clockwise by hand until finger-tight, and then use a wrench to rotate the nut an additional ¼ turn. Inspect the threads of the connector body (Item 6) and ensure that they are clean and dry Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 18 of 44 May 27, 2010

Exceeding the stated maximum torque values will damage the connectors and/or defeat the weatherproofing features of the SU-O. All RF connections must be weatherproofed. Important Notice: Outdoor Cable Assembly Redline does not endorse or support the use of outdoor cable assemblies: i) not supplied by Redline, ii) third-party products that do not meet Redline's cable and connector assembly specifications, or iii) cables not installed and weatherproofed as specified in this manual. Refer to the Redline Limited Standard Warranty and RedCare service agreements Weatherproofing Materials THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER WEATHERPROOFING PROCEDURES CAN NOT BE OVERSTRESSED. Redline recommends sealing tapes designed for outdoor use: - Scotch 2200 series of Vinyl Mastic rolls - Scotch 130C Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape - 3M Scotch Super 88 Electrical Tape These are heavy-duty weather, abrasion, and UV resistant tapes that can be purchased at most hardware stores. Rubber mastic putty or duct sealing putty must also be used to complete the weatherproofing. The professional installer may use his own weatherproofing materials provided they are not silicon-based Redline does not recommend silicon seal or glue as these materials are difficult to apply accurately (can leave gaps) and are difficult to remove. Do not use PVC tape Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 30 of 44 May 27, 2010

31 3.3.3 Weatherproof Antenna Connections Both ends of the RF cable must be weatherproofed. 1. Begin to wrap the splicing tape. Start as close to the radio/equipment body as possible. Stretch and wind the tape back along the connector housing making very sure there are no gaps in the tape. Figure 19: RF Cable - Weatherproofing: 1 of 3 Figure 20: RF Cable - Weatherproofing: 2 of 3 2. When taping is adequate, work the mastic putty well into the area between the connector and the body of the radio. Continue to work the putty in making a watertight seal. The connection is now well weatherproofed. Figure 21: RF Cable - Weatherproofing: 3 of 3 3. Repeat this procedure for the antenna connector. Important: This method of weatherproofing must be completed on ALL external connections. If lightning arrestors are used, all the associated connections and arrestors must be wrapped completely in splicing tape Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 31 of 44 May 27, 2010

32 3.4 Step 4: Connect Ethernet Cable Connection to SU-O Ethernet Port The outdoor Ethernet cable connecting the SU-O to the indoor equipment is very important in the installation process. The outdoor end of the Ethernet cable supplied by Redline is terminated with a weatherproof RJ-45 connector. This connector mates directly to the RJ-45 port located on the SU-O enclosure. The weatherproof connector must be finger-tight only (over-tightening the connector will damage the connector and defeat the weatherproofing). The minimum diameter to pass the connector through a conduit or hole is 26 mm (1 1/8 in).

Customer supplied PoE devices (e.g., central office switches equipped with RJ-45 sockets that provide PoE power and data) must have metal-lined RJ-45 sockets providing a protective ground connection to the cable shield Outdoor Ethernet Lightning Protection If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system, the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only: 1. Install an Ethernet lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable. The Ethernet lightning arrestor should be installed outside of the building, at the point of entry. Terminate the Ethernet cable coming from the tower to the surge side of the arrestor. Terminate the Ethernet cable coming from the PoE power adaptor to the equipment side of the arrestor. 2..Connect the ground terminal on the lightning protector to the nearest building ground. If the grounding point is not located close to the building, the lightning arrestor can be connected to the closest building ground point. The tower ground and the building ground should be connected together. If desired, a second lightning protection unit can be installed on the tower, located close to the SU-O Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 33 of 44 May 27, 2010

38 < SU-O Installation Guidelines 3.5 Step 5 Mount the SU-O This section describes physical mounting of the SU-O, and connecting ground wires and line protection equipment. 1. Mount the SU-O equipment on an antenna mast or flat building wall. 2. Provide proper grounding for the SU-O equipment before supplying any power. 3. Power-on the SU-O (via the PoE adapter and configuration General Mounting Instructions The pre-assembled SU-O equipment should be mounted on a mast or building wall according to the reference sheet provided with the mounting bracket. Correct grounding is very important for safe operation of wireless equipment. Ensure that all grounding connections are made in accordance with local and national standards. The following practices are recommended for the SU-O system to prevent equipment damage due to a lightning strike: 1. Provide a direct ground connection from the antenna-mounting bracket, lightning protection equipment, and SU-O chassis to the same ground point on the tower. Use the grounding screw on the antenna bracket and the grounding screw on the SU-O to terminate ground wires. Avoid making sharp bends in the ground wires. 2. All grounding connections must be made in accordance with local and national standards. Painted or dirty surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly down to bare metal and screws should be well tightened. A grounding connection is located on the SU-O chassis. Use this screw to terminate a grounding wire PoE (Power over Ethernet) Power Adaptor The SU-O may be powered using a stand-alone PoE power adaptor, or by a central office switch equipped with RJ-45 sockets that provide PoE power and data to the SU-O device. All PoE devices must have metal-lined RJ-45 sockets that provide a protective ground connection to the Ethernet cable shield. The PoE power adaptor may be supplied by Redline as a stand-alone AC powered device. Important -- PoE Equipment The Ethernet outdoor cable is supplying a protective ground connection for the Ethernet cable. Customer supplied PoE devices (e.g., central office switches equipped with RJ-45 sockets that provide PoE power and data) must have metallined RJ-45 sockets providing a protective ground connection to the cable shield. Optional Redline Supplied PoE Power Adapter The Redline supplied PoE power adaptor source is auto-sensing (nominal) VAC. The PoE power adaptor provides two Ethernet interfaces: Port DATA IN DATA & POWER OUT Table 13: Indoor PoE Ethernet Ports Description The auto-sensing 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (RJ-45 socket) for connection to the network equipment. The auto-sensing 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (RJ-45 socket) port is used to carry signals and source power to the outdoor subscriber outdoor unit Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 38 of 44 May 27, 2010

41 3.6 Step 6 Antenna Alignment Coarse Antenna Alignment Accurate antenna alignment is essential to obtaining maximum performance from the wireless link. A poorly aligned antenna will have lower received and signal strength and may experience a total loss of the RF signal due to interference or other local conditions. General Azimuth and Elevation Obtain accurate antenna pointing azimuth and elevation angles for each installation site. This will allow approximate alignment of antennas by using GPS or magnetic compasses. The alignment must be performed in both the azimuth and elevation planes. The SU-O must be mounted and connected to the Ethernet PoE power adaptor/co switch before the antenna alignment can be completed. A compass or GPS device can be used to obtain the approximate azimuth direction. The azimuth is aligned by loosening the bolts on the pipe bracket and rotating the antenna around the pole. If the unit is mounted to flat surface (SU-O only), there is a single bolt for horizontal adjustment. To adjust the elevation, loosen the appropriate bolts of the mounting bracket. For the lightweight antenna bracket the two bolts labeled #9 in the assembly instructions. For the heavy-duty antenna bracket use the single bolt #7 for vertical adjustment. Most links will have an elevation of 0º. The antenna can be set vertically (to a close approximation) using a bubble (spirit) level as shown in the figure below. This method is not accurate where the elevation must offset by more than degrees. Figure 36: Antenna Alignment - Leveling Antenna Elevation Plane Note: When using a magnetic compass, a metal tower will affect the accuracy. Also, magnetic declination (the difference between true North and Magnetic North) must be taken onto account. Alignment Using the Audible Tone Following basic alignment, small adjustments can be made using the audible alignment buzzer in the SU-O. A faster repetition rate of the buzzer indicates a stronger signal being received from the remote-end transmitter. Adjust the SU-O antenna by small changes first the elevation and then the azimuth adjustments to obtain a maximum reading Proprietary Redline Communications 2010 Page 41 of 44 May 27, 2010
