4 4. Point-to-Point Backhaul 4.1 Overview The backhaul is composed of a number of line station mast/radio/LIUs. The number of poles pole (masts/towers) in your point-to-point spread must be a multiple of the number of channels used. A channel is an 80 MHz wide frequency band with 40 MHz on either side of the center frequency. For example, if the center frequency is 2.412 GHz, the frequency range for that channel is 2.372 to 2.452 GHz.
4. Point-to-Point Backhaul Overview Figure 4–2 Line Station Backhaul 66 RT System 2 v2.3 Deployment Guide © 2010-2014 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. R01.
4. Point-to-Point Backhaul Overview The radios are configured as pairs and are either an Access Point (A) or a Station (S). An Access Point communicates only with a Station. An Access Point cannot communicate with an Access Point, and a Station cannot communicate with a Station. The poles (masts) and radios for a six-channel system are labeled and color-coded as follows. The number of colors used should match the number of channels used.
4. Point-to-Point Backhaul Overview NOTE The primary indicator for radio-to-radio communication is the alpha-numeric label. The colored label is provided as a visual indicator to ensure that the pole is pointed correctly to the next radio. For example, a yellow radio cannot communicate with all yellow radios. Figure 4–3 Radio-to-Radio Communication In some cases—such as when line-of-sight cannot be established—using fiber cables can improve communication.

F F. Using a Compass This chapter describes how to use a sighting compass. A sighting compass has the same features as a baseplate compass, but adds a vertical mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the landmark at the same time. Figure F–1 Sighting Compass (70-0067) For a in-depth descriptions of using a compass with a map and setting the declination on a compass see the following links: i i i i http://www.compassdude.com/default.shtml http://www.compassdude.com/compass-declination.
F. Using a Compass Figure F–2 Declination Indication on Map However, because of the dynamic nature of the Earth’s magnetic field, old maps are inaccurate. To obtain the most recent declination values, enter your map location at the following link: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination Placing magnetic objects near a compass can cause an incorrect reading (deviation).
F. Using a Compass Figure F–3 Compass and Map 3 186 Adjust for declination. Ɣ If you have an adjustable compass – Move the Orienting Arrow to the right or left by the declination number. When you align the magnetic needle with the Orienting Arrow, the declination is accounted for. Ɣ If you do not have an adjustable compass – Mark the declination on your compass with a piece of tape. Align the magnetic needle with the tape mark. Ɣ Adjust the Orienting Arrow to the left or right.
F. Using a Compass Figure F–4 Compass Adjusted for Declination 4 Pick up the compass and adjust the cover so the angle of the cover to the base is between 45 and 70 degrees. 5 Hold the base of the compass in the palm of your hand. Keep the compass level. Turn your entire body and the compass until the red end of the Magnetic Needle is aligned with the red end (north end) of Orienting Arrow. Figure F–5 Compass Adjusted for Declination R01.
