Point-to-Multipoint Installation
The procedure for installing a point-to-mulitpoint system is the same as the procedure for installing a point-
to-point system. Treat each link in a point-to-multipoint system as a single, point-to-point wireless link.
Co-Location Installation
When you install a system with sectors and co-located base stations (see Creating a Network with Cells, page 5 
for an example), you install and test sectors as if they were point-to-point systems; however, in this case you 
must ensure that individual sectors are not interfering with each other.
Align and test the first sector. Measure the fade margin and run the link monitor test. Document your 
results, then turn off the radio in the first sector.
Align and test the second sector. Measure the fade margin and run the link monitor test. Leave the 
link monitor test running in the second sector.
Turn on the radio in the first sector again and run the continuous tranmit test. See 
Observe the BER and fade margin of the second sector radio. Look for changes to determine if the 
first sector is interfering with the second sector.
Repeat the tests for all sector/pair combinations.
Test Network
Run the link monitor test and other tests such as ping and ftp file transfers to verify network operation when 
the units are installed in the field. See Performing Link Monitor Test (Normal Mode), page 54.
Adding to a Network
Always add to your network one link or device at a time, working from a known base network. Measure and 
document changes to the system and changes in performance. For example, you can transfer files with ftp 
and measure the performance with LAN analyzer software. The key to a successful network is to proceed 
one step at a time and to understand your network!
