In this Quick Installation Guide, the term ODU (Outdoor Unit) refers to the Macro Outdoor BTS (NAU, SAU, DAU).
CAUTION
ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and,
wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor
units and antennas. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and may expose the end user or Service
Provider to legal and financial liabilities. The manufacturer and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.
Up to three ODUs can be mounted on poles and on L-shape masts. The following installation options are available:

The unit can be mounted on a 1.5" to 14" pole depending on the pole construction. Its location should enable easy access to
the unit for installation and testing
To install two or more units it is recommended to use the Mounting Kits for one (using back-to-back installation) or three
ODUs.
Take into account the locations intended for installing the ODUs and Antennas. Make sure to allow easy access to all units for
replacement or maintenance purposes.
The length of the Ethernet and SYNC cables between the NAU and DAU/SAU is 2m. Take this into account when planning
the installation.
The maximum length of the DATA cable is 70m when operating at 1 Gbps and 100m when operating at 100 Mbps. The
maximum length of the MNG cable is 100m.
When installing two units back-to-back on a 2''-4'' pole, and one unit is a NAU, use the 215mm M10 threaded rods included in
the NAU package to avoid damaging the NAU connectors (see Figure 1).

Make sure that the nut of each sealing gland is properly tightened and that the sealing gland is tightly attached to the
connectors protective body to ensure proper sealing against rain and moisture.

4 Connect the other end of the cable to either the Data Port or MGMT port on the NAU depending on the management scheme
(unified, in-band, or out-of-band management). Make sure that the nut of the sealing gland is properly tightened and that the
sealing gland is tightly attached to the connectors protective body to ensure proper sealing against rain and moisture.
5 Route the cable to the location of the data/backhauling equipment. Assemble a shielded RJ-45 on the cable following the
instructions above and connect it to the data equipment.
6 After powerup, verify proper operation via the upper (orange) LED indication on the 100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) connector with 2
embedded LEDs, and check LED indicators on the backbone devices as well.
7 Configure the Data port to the appropriate Data rate (100/1000 Mbps). Refer to the System Manual.
8 Check the connectivity to the network/backbone depending on the management scheme (unified, in-band, out-of-band).
D. Power Cable
1 Use a crimping tool to prepare the wires, insert them into the appropriate pins and then to the sealing gland.
Connect the wires to the mini-fit connector as follows:
In DAU units, if you use a single power cable, connect the cable to the PWR connector of the master AU. If necessary,
install the additional sealing gland supplied with the kit on the second power connection and connect another cable.
Connect the other end of the power cable (with the terminal rings) to the DC power source.
E. GPS Cable
a After connecting the cable to the GPS receiver and routing it to the intended location release the nut of the sealing gland
and insert the cable with the already installed RJ-45 connector through the gland.
b Connect the cable to the GPS connector. Make sure that the nut of the sealing gland is properly tightened and that the
sealing gland is tightly attached to the connectors protective body to ensure proper sealing against rain and moisture.
UV resistant outdoor rated tape (e.g. Super 33+ or Super 88 vinyl Electrical Tape).
Use high quality cold shrink sleeves to seal connectors.
1 Cut the cold shrink sleeve to size. Take into account the size of the units
connector and additional 2.5 cm (0.5 in.).
2 Slide the cold shrink sleeve onto the cable before connecting the cable.
3 Connect the cable.
4 Attach the mastic tape (Scotchfil Electrical Insulation Putty) and wrap it
around the connector butting up against the connector. Do not over
stretch.
5 Squeeze to tighten the mastic sealer. Make sure there are no air bubbles.
