Site Preparation
Planning the Link Site
Overview
Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out 
before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the out-
come of any of these surveys is negative, site re-location will need to be 
considered.
A Site Survey consists of three stages:
1. Preliminary survey - The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a 
topographic map.
2. Physical survey - The locations of the RADWIN 1000/2000 indoor and 
outdoor equipment are determined on-site.
3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation 
area be scanned with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so 
as to determine a clear channel for RADWIN 1000/2000 installation (on-
site
).
The Site Survey
Introduction
RADWIN 1000/2000 wireless links must be planned before installation. The 
designated installation site must be appraised to determine that the wire-
less system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without 
signal degradation.
RADWIN 1000/2000 offers a wide operating frequency range. A free fre-
quency channel must be determined within the operating range, for opti-
mum performance.
