    2. Connecting the Antenna Cable

    3. Reinstating the Power

    4. Reinstating the Wireless Link

Installing the Duplexer Assembly in the Transverter

Make sure that you install the replacement duplexer in the correct orientation. When it is installed in the transverter, the orientation of the duplexer determines its transmit and receive frequencies for that transverter sector.


Note   The choice of Tx Hi or Rx Hi must match the frequencies configured for the multipoint wireless modem card using the command-line interface or CiscoView.

To install the duplexer in the transverter, complete the following steps:


Step 1   Determine if you will be transmitting or receiving on the high-frequency band.

Step 2   Detach the bottom portion of the label affixed to the underside of the duplexer (see Figure 7) and record the duplexer orientation. This label can be attached to equipment records and used for reference when configuring the system or performing maintenance.


Figure 7: Frequency Assignment Label


Step 3   Depending on whether that sector is transmitting or receiving on the high-frequency band, match the notched end of the duplexer with either the Tx Hi or Rx Hi side of the duplexer receptacle in the transverter (see Figure 8).


Figure 8: Duplexer Receptacle in Transverter


Step 4   Verify that the gasket is aligned in the groove in the transverter chassis (see Figure 9).


Figure 9: Gasket in Transverter Chassis


Step 5   Carefully line up the duplexer and plug it into the chassis, being careful that the internal RF connectors are properly aligned.

Step 6   Verify that the cover of the duplexer housing is flush with the transverter housing.


Caution   If the cover is not flush, check the alignment of the internal RF connectors. In order to avoid damage, never tighten the captive screws until the cover is flush.

Step 7   Using the torque driver with the number 2 Phillips bit, follow the numeric sequence in Figure 10, and lightly seat the screws.


Figure 10: Tightening Sequence


Step 8   Repeat the sequence in Figure 10, tightening the screws to between 16 and 20 inch-pounds of torque.
