Safety Precautions & Declared Material

General Equipment Precautions
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those

specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When working with a FibeAir IDU, note the following risk of electric
shock and energy hazard: Disconnecting one power supply disconnects
only one power supply module. To isolate the unit completely,
disconnect all power supplies.
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure

level amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.
Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic
components inside the device.
To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device, all
electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.
High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields!

Exposure to strong high frequency electromagnetic fields may cause thermal
damage to personnel. The eye (cornea and lens) is easily exposed.
Any unnecessary exposure is undesirable and should be avoided.
In radio-relay communication installations, ordinary setup for normal

operation, the general RF radiation level will be well below the safety limit.
In the antennas and directly in front of them the RF intensity normally will
exceed the danger level, within limited portions of space.
Dangerous radiation may be found in the neighborhood of open waveguide
flanges or horns where the power is radiated into space.
To avoid dangerous radiation the following precautions must be taken:
During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make sure that
transmitters will remain turned off.
Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF power, turn
off transmitters.
Consider any incidentally open RF connector as carrying power, until
otherwise proved. Do not look into coaxial connectors at closer than reading
distance (1 foot). Do not look into an open waveguide unless you are
absolutely sure that the power is turned off.

ESD
This equipment contains components which are sensitive to "ESD" (Electro
Static Discharge). Therefore, ESD protection measures must be observed
when touching the IDU.
Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the FibeAir IDU
must use an ESD Wrist Strap.
Additional precautions include personnel grounding, grounding of work
bench, grounding of tools and instruments as well as transport and storage in
special antistatic bags and boxes.
Laser
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The optical interface must only be serviced by qualified personnel, who are
aware of the hazards involved to repair laser products.
When handling laser products the following precautions must be taken:
Never look directly into an open connector or optical cable.
Before disconnecting an optical cable from the optical transmitter, the

power should be switched off. If this is not possible, the cable must be
disconnected from the transmitter before it is disconnected from the
receiver.
When the cable is reconnected it must be connected to the receiver before it
is connected to the transmitter.
Grounding: This equipment is designed to permit connection between the
earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the
equipment.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of

Power Interfaces
FibeAir IP-20G receives an external supply of -48V current via one or two
power interfaces (the second power interface is optional for power
redundancy). The IP-20G monitors the power supply for under-voltage and
includes reverse polarity protection, so that if the positive (+) and negative (-)
inputs are mixed up, the system remains shutdown.
The allowed power input range for the IP-20G is -40V to -60V. An under
voltage alarm is triggered if the power goes below the allowed range, and an
over voltage alarm is triggered if the power goes above the allowed range.
1.5.1

Replacing an IP-20G IDU or SM-Card

If you should need to replace the IP-20G IDU, you must first remove the SMCard Cover so that you can insert it into the new IDU.
The SM-Card holds the configuration and software for the IDU. The SM-Card is
embedded in the SM-Card Cover, so re-using the existing SM-Card Cover is
necessary to ensure that the units software and configuration is maintained.
In some cases, you may need to replace the SM-Card itself in order to upgrade
the units configuration.
To remove the SM-Card Cover:
1 Loosen the screws of the SM-Card Cover and remove it from the IDU.

Installation Guide
Connecting to the Unit with a LAN Connection

FibeAir IP-20G contains two FE management interfaces, which connect to a
single RJ-45 physical connector on the front panel (MGMT). For details on
which type of cable to use to utilize either one or both management interfaces,
refer to Management Interface Cable Options on page 12.
Connect the cable to Management interface (MGMT) on the IP-20G front panel,
and to the LAN port on the PC.
Management Interface
To establish a connection between the PC and the IP-20G unit, it is necessary

to have an IP address on the PC within the same subnet as the unit. The default
IP address of the IP-20G unit is 192.168.1.1. Set the PC address to e.g.
192.168.1.10 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Note the initial settings
before changing.
Note:
The chassis IP address, as well as password, should be

changed before the system is set in operation. For more
information on these procedures, see DOC-00041190, IP-20G
User Guide.
1 Select Control Panel> All Control Panel Items >Network and Sharing
Center.
2 Click Change adapter settings.

Configuration
Before connection over the radio hop is established, it is of high importance
that the elements are assigned a dedicated IP address, according to an IP plan
for the total network.
Note:
If connection over the hop is established with identical IP

addresses, an IP address conflict will occur, and remote
connection to the element on the other side of the hop may
be lost.
By default all elements have the same IP settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Note:
After the new IP address is set, the contact with the element
will be lost. In order to reconnect, the PC must have an IP
address within the same subnet as the element.
In addition to setting the IP addresses, the following configuration steps

should be performed in order to establish basic connectivity. For a detailed
description of these procedures, refer to the FibeAir IP-20G User Guide,
DOC-00036540.
