 AWE 120-24 Installation & Configuration Guide

You should set up a preventative maintenance schedule for your network. Wi-LAN recommends that the 
following  preventative maintenance be performed at least semi-annually. 

•

Regularly run link monitor tests across the network and measure BER and fade margin. You can also 
test the network with ping, ftp and file transfers. Other resources are available on the Internet that 
can help you monitor the performance of your link.

•

If you have SNMP application software, you can check unit operation from a remote location. See 

, page 135 for more information.

You should periodically perform a physical inspection of each site.

 • Check that antennas and cables are secure and have not become loose.

 • Check for physical obstructions in the line-of-sight radio path, such as trees and buildings.

 • Sweep antennas and cables to ensure that antennas and cables are intact and operating properly.

 • Check that there are no water leaks in cabinets.

 • Check weatherproofing.

 • Check for new sources of electromagnetic interference.
