SR1520 Installation and User Guide Page 8 The range also depends on the type of antenna used. The maximum data rate for a link decreases as the operating range increases. When planning a wireless router link, take into account the maximum distance and data rates for the various antenna options. . 1.1.2 Radio Path Planning The wireless router link requires a “radio line of sight” between the two antennas for optimum performance.
SR1520 Installation and User Guide Page 9 Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for
SR1520 Installation and User Guide Page 10 1.1.5 Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/n channel frequencies.
SR1520 Installation and User Guide 1.3 Page 11 Grounding It is important that the wireless router, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The wireless router unit includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes.

Patch cable from radio to Citel - Make a shielded CAT5e cable such that its shielding foil is grounded to the metal shielding of the RJ45 connectors at either end as shown in slide#10 3. Connect one end of the cable to the radio and the other end to the “IN” port on the Citel surge suppressor 4.
SR1520 Installation and User Guide Page 14 2.0 Hardware Installation The SR1520, is a wireless Client device is designed to be deployed outdoors, exposed to all elements (extreme heat or sun, rain, snow, ice, cold) and mounted on a wall, pole, or mast. The SR1520 is supplied complete with its own mounting hardware kit for attaching the unit to a 1-2.5” diameter metal pole or tube or as part of a radio mast or tower structure. The supplied SR1520 48V power supply is suitable for outdoor use.
SR1520 Installation and User Guide Page 15 Due to the typically inaccessible location often best suited to deploying an outdoor wireless router (for example, on rooftops, sides of buildings, or on a radio tower) it is recommended that the network administrator pre-provision the SR1520 system to be installed (taking note of settings, passwords, Channel, MAC and IP addresses) prior to physical installation, and confirm that the device is fully operational and free from fault. 2.1.
