All health and safety procedures and recommendations must be followed as detailed in the Horizon Quantum User Manual.

This product is to be installed and maintained by experienced telecommunications personnel only. Installations must adhere to specifications listed in the Horizon Quantum User Manual.

Horizon Quantum is to be installed with proper grounding, surge arrestors and -48 VDC power in accordance with instructions contained in the Horizon Quantum User Manual.

10. Switch Port VLAN Configuration – Use this command to define Ethernet ports as either Trunk or

Access.

A Trunk port will accept any packet with a VLAN identifier within a specified and configurable

range of values from 1 to 4094. Trunk ports will drop untagged packets, or those that are

outside of their configured VLAN, or trunk range.

An Access port may only accept untagged packets, and those with the configured access

VLAN identifier. Packets leaving an access port will be untagged.

Antenna Alignment

Perform rough alignment by eye, aligning the center

line of the mounting bracket to the far end.

Tighten down the mounting bracket. Loosen the Lock

Nuts for only one alignment direction at a time. (ex. If

Lock

performing azimuth alignment, loosen only the

nuts

Azimuth Lock Nuts.) This prevents unexpected

movements of the antenna. During both azimuth and

elevation adjustments it should be possible to

identify the main lobe, along with one or more side

lobes per side. Perform a check for the side lobes

(by panning) to ensure the main lobe has been identified and aligned to.

Enable Alignment:

set alignment [on | off] [wireless_port1 | wireless_port2] -tsecs

sets the antenna alignment mode On or Off for -t seconds (default is 7200 = 2 Hours).

Loosen the antenna mount fine azimuth

and elevation adjustment lock nuts.

Connect a voltmeter to the field

strength monitoring port (BNC) and

adjust the fine azimuth and elevation

adjustments for a maximum signal.

Identify all side lobes plus the main

lobe. Ensure that you are aimed at the

main signal lobe.

The final received signal strength

(RSL) should be within ±3 dB of the

available from DragonWave

link budget figure.

Once alignment is achieved, tighten the

lock nuts on the adjustment mechanisms.

Alignment Adjustment Sensitivity

When performing fine alignment adjustments it is important to rotate the adjustment nuts 1/10

turn at a time between taking RSL readings.

The beam width of a Horizon Compact system is no greater than 2 degrees. One complete turn of a

fine adjustment nut moves the system through more than 1 degree. One complete turn can,

therefore, move right through the peak signal position.

Bandwidth Doubling

The Dual Polarity Radio Mount (DPRM) allows two Horizon Quantum units to mount onto a single

antenna, providing bandwidth doubling capabilities. One Horizon Quantum is horizontally polarized

and the second is vertically polarized.

Troubleshooting

step: run Merlin diagnostics

Alarms: Check alarms. No alarms should be present.

Modem Receiver Loss of Signal = no signal being received from the far end.

Radio Mismatch = incorrect radio band/type configured,

TxH / TxL reversed, or SP/HP system mode incorrect

Ethernet Link Down = no connectivity on Ethernet link

Modem Hardware Fault = replace Horizon Quantum IDU unit

Radio Power Amp = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit

Synthesizer Unlock = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit if alarm is persistent.

RSL Issues:

Mismatched RSL between endpoints

one endpoint at target RSL, other endpoint low RSL: use RF loopback feature to determine

if Transmitter at one end, or Receiver at other end is at fault.

Verify both ends are receiving DC power

Low RSL both endpoints

Verify clear LOS exists / Verify alignment / Verify Transmit power at both ends

Link fade? Polarization is the same at both ends?

Poor RF Signal Quality:

See parameters in "Indications of a Properly Operating Link"

Packet Loss, Poor Throughput, Loss of IP Connectivity:

check RF signal quality

check for mismatched modulation between endpoints

check Ethernet switch traffic statistics at both ends of the link

verify Ethernet speed and duplex settings

check integrity of Ethernet cables

check COS/QOS settings
