Figure 2-1. Typical Installation Diagram Mounting the ODU The ODU is the transmitting and receiving element of the WinLink 1000 system. The ODU can be mounted on a mast or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU. Appendix B describes the mast/wall installation instructions. A WinLink 1000 link operates in pairs of two WinLink 1000 systems with the same configuration. Both systems must be installed, and the antennas of the outdoor units must be aligned for maximum throughput.
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Installation and Setup 2-5 Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor or to a grounded mast. Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should climb the antenna mast. Only trained professional installers should be used when installing or dismantling ODUs and masts. Î To mount the ODU: 1. Verify that the ODU mounting brackets are properly grounded. 2. Attach the ODU unit to the mast. Refer to Appendix B for the ODU mounting instructions. 3. Connect the ground cable to the chassis point on the ODU. 4. Attach the ODU cable to the RJ-45 connector. Refer to Appendix A for the connector pinout. 5. Secure the cables to the mast or brackets using provided UV-rated cable ties. 6. Repeat the procedure at the remote site. Do not tightly secure the ODU to its mounting brackets, until the alignment process of the antenna is complete. When installing the ODU, it is important to check that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made obstacles. Connecting the ODU to the IDU The ODU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and the ODU. The ODU cable also provides -48 VDC supply to the ODU. The maximum length for one leg of the ODU cable is 100m (328 ft) in accordance with10/100BaseT standards. ODU cable is supplied pre-assembled with RJ-45 connectors, at the length specified when ordering. If the ODU cable was not ordered, use Cat. 5e shielded cable, the wiring specifications are given in Appendix A. 1. Route the cable from the ODU location into the building, leaving some spare. Secure the cable along its path. Warning Note

External clock requirements D-1 Appendix D TDM Clock Configuration D.1 Overview This appendix describes the WINLink 1000 TDM clock configuration. The following picture describes the E1 or T1 service configuration. Figure D-1. E1 or T1 service configuration D.2 External clock requirements WINLink 1000 system assumes that all external equipments connected to a single site use the same transmit clock. In the picture above, E1 – 1 in (site A) and E1 – 2 in (site A) must use the same clock. E1 – 1 in (site B) and E1 – 2 in (site B) must also use the same clock, but this clock can be a different clock that used in site A. The system automatically selects a specific trunk for clocking according to the rules described below.
TDM Clock Configuration WinLink 1000 D-2 Behavior in fault configuration D.3 Clock selection WINLink 1000 automatically selects a single trunk for the timing. The trunk is selected according to the following rules: • Smaller trunk number • Both ends line state is in Normal • Each line state change in the selected trunk re-triggers a new clock selection according the above rules. If the selected trunk is in Los of Signal state, the WINLink 1000 uses its internal clock. There are two methods to configure the user equipment. • Master / Slave mode – One of the sites is defined as the clock master while the other site is configured as a time loop (received clock) • Independent (Plesynchronous) Mode – Each site is configured as timing Master In both user configurations WINLink 1000 system re-generates the selected IN clock of the opposite site and use it as the OUT clock for all trunks. In case that there is no IN clock in the selected trunk, WINLink 1000 use its internal clock (and re-generate it in the opposite site as an OUT clock). It is user responsibility to verify that all IN clocks of a site are derived from a single clock source. D.4 Behavior in fault configuration Where there are different transmit clocks at the external equipments of the same site, pattern slips are expected. The pattern slip rate is proportional to the clock difference. For example if in site A E1 – 1 in clock is 2.048 Mb/s and E1 – 2 in clock is 2.048 Mb/s + 1 PPM and all trunks are in normal state, a pattern slip of up to 2000 bits is expected in trunk 2 every 1000 seconds. Note
WinLink 1000 TDM Clock Configuration Behavior in fault configuration D-3 Example 1 Site A clocks: E1-1 IN and E1-2 IN differ, and all trunks are in normal condition, WINLink 1000 shall use trunk 1 for the timing and the second trunk shall experience pattern slips (the rate of the pattern slips is dependent on the ratio between the different clocks) Example 2 Trunk 1 is disconnected and trunk 2 is in normal condition. WINLink 1000 shall select trunk 2 for clock timing. Since trunk 1 is disconnected it uses an internal clock as an input clock. The OUT clock of both trunks is the re-generated clock IN 2, and therefore WINLink 1000 shall display error blocks on clock 1 (represents the clock difference between the internal clock and the IN 2 clock).
