Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview WinLink 1000 is a carrier-class, high capacity, Point-to-Point broadband wireless transmission system. WinLink 1000 combines legacy TDM and Ethernet services over 2.3, 2.4, 4.9 and 5.x GHz unlicensed bands, and 2.5 licensed band; and is suitable for deployment in FCC, ETSI, CN, UK, and CSA-regulated countries. The system provides up to 48 Mbps wireless link and supports ranges of up to 80 km (50 miles) with an external antenna.
Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Versions WinLink 1000 is available in several different frequency ranges, with versions for ETSI and FCC regulations; • F23, 2.300–2.400 GHz • F24, 2.400–2.4835 GHz • F25, 2.496–2.690 GHz • F49, 4.940–4.990 GHz • F53, 5.250–5.350 GHz • F54, 5.470–5.725 GHz • F58, 5.725–5.850 GHz • F59, 5.865–5.935 GHz Several special systems are also available; • WL1000-AIND, All Indoor unit, F58/FCC with 4T1 support.
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 employs Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission. This technology simplifies the installation and configuration procedure. There is no need to plan and to allocate separate channels for the uplink and downlink data streams. Operation over 2.4 GHz and 5.x GHz bands is not affected by harsh weather conditions, such as fog, heavy rain etc.
Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Alternatively each site can be configured or monitored via a Telnet terminal. Diagnostics and Performance Monitoring WinLink 1000 supports activating local and remote loopbacks on E1/T1 links. WinLink 1000 constantly monitors the data transmission process, evaluates received signal strength, and signal quality. It also monitors received traffic and frame rate (FPS) for local and remote units.
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction requirement of 30 dB maximum. See Table 4-1 for full details of transmit power control. Alarm Connector The IDU-C has four external alarm inputs and outputs in the form of dry-contact relays. The Alarm interface is located on the front panel of the IDU-C and is a 9-pin D-type female connector. The user enables or disables each of the alarms and configures the text that appears in the alarm trap.
Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual pulses sent to each ODU, which synchronize their transmission with each other. (See Appendix F for more details). E1 Trunk Redundancy IDU-R units have a secondary E1 input which may be connected to external equipment other than the ODU. This provides backup in the event of failure of either the air interface link of the WinLink 1000, or the secondary E1 link.
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction The rear panel of the IDU includes the connectors for power, WAN, LAN, E1/T1, and the ODU. The wiring specifications are detailed in Appendix A. The rear panel LEDs are described in Chapter 3. IDU-C The IDU-C front panel includes four LEDs that display the status of E1/T1and, wireless link, self-test results, and ODU-to-IDU link. For a detailed description of the front panel LEDs, see Chapter 3.
