Revision 2.0 General 3-1
3.1. General
This chapter explains how to install and set up the FibeAir 1500 system. For
best results, perform all operations in the sequence in which they are
presented in this chapter.
3.2. Unpacking Equipment
The FibeAir 1500 is shipped in 5 crates. Upon delivery, make sure that the
following items are included:
■ Two indoor units and accessories
■ Two outdoor units
■ Two antennas and pole mounts
■ One user manual
■ One management software (CD).
Unpack the contents and check for damaged or missing parts. Should there
be any parts that are damaged or missing, contact Giganet’s local
distributor.
3.3. Site Requirements
The first and most important consideration when choosing a prospective site
for the ODU is that the point can provide an acceptable “line of sight” with
the opposing ODU. A site with a clear, unobstructed view is required.
When considering a site, it is important to check for current and future
obstacles. Possible future obstacles are: trees, new buildings, window
cleaners on the roof, snow that may accumulate in front of the antenna, etc.
The site should be accessible to certified personnel only.
As with any type of construction, a local permit may be required before
installing an antenna. It is the owner’s responsibility to obtain any and all
permits.
