Package content
Check the packing lists and make sure that the correct part numbers and quantities of goods have arrived. The standard components of an InfiLINK 2x2 and InfiMAN 2x2 package are briefly presented below:
Outdoor Unit
Device with integrated antenna
The outdoor unit can be supplied with an integrated antenna installed in the factory:
Mmx, Qmx
Device based on H08 platform with Gigabit Etheret port and console port, has two built-in LED indicators.
Smn
Device based on H11 platform, available in two options:
- With integrated antenna, except for antennas with 19 dB gain in the 5 and 6 GHz bands. The device has two Fast Ethernet ports and a LED panel.
- With integrated antenna 19 dB gain in the 5 and 6 GHz bands. The device has one Fast Ethernet port and a LED panel.
Device with connectors for external antenna
The external unit can be supplied in a version with connectors for an external antenna. In this case, a protective cover will be installed instead of the antenna.
Omx
Device based on H08 platform with Gigabit Etheret port and console port, has two built-in LED indicators and two N-type connectors for connecting a dual-polarized external antenna.
Lmn
Device based on H11 platform with two Fast Ethernet ports, an LED panel and two N-type connectors for connecting a dual-polarized external antenna.
LED indication
Mmx, Qmx and Omx
The H08 platform based devices have two LED indicators (red and green) located in the console port. These indicators help to monitor the device's status during the installation. The correspondence between the state of the indicators and the current device state is shown in the table below.
| Red indicator | Green indicator | Device status |
|---|---|---|
| Off | Off | The device is switched off or in the process of start-up booting |
| Off | Blinking | The device has booted, but it has no radio connection. Searching for another device to establish the radio connection |
| Blinking | On | Radio connection established. The more data is being transmitted through the radio channel the more frequently the red indicator is blinking |
Smn and Lmn
The H11 platform based devices have a special LED indicator set located at the back of each device, displaying the current device state.
| Indicator | Status | Device status |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | On | The device is powered on |
| RF | Blinking | The RF-link is being established |
| RF | On | The RF-link is established |
| ETH | On | Wired link established |
| Signal level | This scale displays the current RF signal level and is designed to provide assistance for the radio link alignment and to estimate the link quality. The scale is based on the SNR RX level, with the threshold values for the indicator: 4, 8, 16, 30, 40 dB. The more often the indicator flashes, the better is the quality of the connection |
Mounting kit
Mounting is carried out on a pole with a diameter 30-85 mm. There are also possible options for mounting on a wall or pole with a diameter more than 85 mm, clamps and other optional fasteners are not included.
MONT-KIT-85
MONT-KIT-85 is supplied by default for all InfiLINK 2x2, InfiMAN 2x2 families devices except for devices in the 5 and 6 GHz bands with an integrated antenna 19 dB gain. MONT-KIT-85 allows to make reliable and easy installation of the unit with two-axis adjustment.
MONT-KIT-85 assembly procedure:
- Attach the basement to the back of the device, using four bolts M6x14, flat and spring washers 6. For easy alignment, set the basement with the prongs to the left.
- Tighten the bracket and the bracer to the pole, using bolts M8x80, flat and spring washers 8. For easy alignment, set the bracket with the prongs up.
- Attach the lever between the bracket and the basement, using bolts M8x35, flat and spring washers, nut M8. Do not fasten the nuts!
- Adjust the required tilt and fasten all nuts at the required position.
MONT-KIT-85c
By default, devices in the 5 and 6 GHz bands with an integrated 19 dB gain antenna are packed with mounting clamps that allow to fix the device on a 32 - 60 mm pole and perform horizontal alignment.
If necessary, to mount this type of device, the MONT-KIT-85c can be used (ordered separately), which allows to mount the device both on standard pole and on flat surfaces.
The MONT-KIT-85c assembly procedure is similar to MONT-KIT-85 assembly, except for attaching the kit to the device back:
- Attach the small bracket to the device mounting bracer using the cable clamps. For easy alignment, set the small bracket with the prongs to the left. Make sure the bracket does not stand out from the surface of the mounting bracer.
- Tighten the bracket and the bracer to the pole, using bolts M8x80, flat and spring washers 8. For easy alignment, set the bracket with the prongs up.
- Attach the lever between the bracket and the small bracket, using bolts M8x35, flat and spring washers, nut M8. Do not fasten the nuts!
- Adjust the required tilt and fasten all nuts at the required position.
MONT-KIT-85P
For high-precision alignment of devices, especially high antenna gain models, the MONT-KIT-85P can be used (ordered separately).
MONT-KIT-85P assembly procedure:
- Insert and tighten the Assembled kit on the back side of the device using bolts M6x14, washers flat 6 and washers spring 6.
- Tighten the Assembled kit and Bracer to the pole using bolt M8, washer flat 8 and washer spring 8.
- Bolt M8x50 - used for installation on a pole with Ø 30 ... Ø 55 mm.
- Bolt M8x80 - used for installation on a pole with Ø 55 ... Ø 85 mm.
- Perform required antenna alignment using adjustment knobs and then tighten nuts M8.
Note:
M8 nuts are pre-tightened at the manufacturing facility in a position that allows the device to be adjusted using the adjustment knobs and ensures that the wireless device does not shift during the final nuts tighten.
If further adjustment is required, weaken the nuts M8 on about 15 degrees. Do not adjust the knobs without weaken the nuts first.
Power supply
A power supply is used to power the device using PoE technology. The default power supply should be connected to AC power source and must be installed indoors.
By default, the following power supplies are included to the package:
| Model | Power supply | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Smn, Lmn | IDU-CPE |  |
| Mmx, Omx | IDU-BS-G |  |
| Qmx | IDU-BS-G (60W) |
 |
Detailed information about the DC power supplies and supplies that can be installed outdoors, are available in the "Grounding and Lightning protection" course.
The package includes:
- Shielded RJ-45 connector for connection to the power supply - 1 pc.
- Standard RJ-45 connector for connection to the outdoor unit - 1 pc or more, depending on the Ethernet ports number of the outdoor unit.
- Cable gland - 1 pc or more, depending on the Ethernet ports number of the outdoor unit.
Connect the power supply to the outdoor unit according to the scheme below:
Power cord
The model depends on the region, according to the Purchase Order.
Note:
For the connectorized ODU models, you will need external antennas and low loss RF cables, which must be ordered separately.
The Ethernet cables are not included in the package.
