It is often easier to carry out this procedure on the ground or a suitable surface prior to mounting the ODU. Ensure that no power is connected to the PIDU Plus or present on the cable before connecting the ODU.
  • Page 52: Routing The Cable

    Installation Should it be necessary to disconnect the PIDU Plus to ODU cable at the ODU, this can be achieved by removing the weather proofing gland and depressing the RJ45 locking tab with a small screwdriver as shown below: Figure 22 Disconnecting the ODU CAUTION: Ensure that power is removed from the system at the PIDU Plus to prevent damage to the ODU while making or breaking the connection.

    Installation 7.7.7 Making the ODU Connection at the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus The ODU is connected to the PIDU Plus by means of a concealed RJ45 connector. The RJ45 con- nection has been placed inside the PIDU Plus hinged cover to prevent the user from inadvertently plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket.
  • Page 54: Making The Network Connection At The Pidu Plus - Ptp 500 Series Bridge

    7.7.9 Mounting the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus This step is optional. Motorola recommends that you mount the PIDU Plus on a wall or other suitable mounting surface. This prevents the unit from being knocked or kicked and can help maintain link availability.
  • Page 55: Powering Up

    Installation CAUTION: The PIDU Plus is not waterproof and should be mounted away from sources of moisture. If mounted outdoors, the unit should be mounted in a rain proof enclosure, preferably ventilated. It is also recommended that you fit a drip loop on the PIDU Plus to ODU cable to ensure that any moisture that runs down the cable into the cabinet or enclosure cannot enter the PIDU Plus.

    Installation as a hub/switch (and auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over is employed), connection can be made directly to the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch cable. Before physical installation takes place the units to be installed should be set up as described in Section 8.3.4 "Install Pages".
  • Page 57 Installation may be suffering from interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation may not give a reliable link. The cause of the problem should be investigated. For the ease of alignment, both Master and Slave units use the install tones in the same way but with some small behavioral differences.
