2.4 Typical installation scheme S-IDU device is assembled as follows: 1. Plug the outdoor unit (SM) cable to the RJ-45 Jack marked ODU PoE using a straight CAT5 Gauge 24-shielded outdoor rated cable (the cable should be UV resistant, flame retardant, UL listed and contain at least 4 twisted pairs). Note: The ODU-PoE port is connected to SM radio only. Do not attach standard CAT5 cable from the PC (or other network device) to ODUPoE jack. It may damage the PC s Ethernet interface. The radio is connected and powered only via the ODU-PoE port. Do not connect the radio to any other port. 2. Plug standard CAT5 cable from the PC (or network switch/router) to the RJ-45 Jack marked GigETH 10/100/1000 BaseT. 3. Plug the TDM lines to the RJ-45 jacks marked E1/T1. 4. Plug the green 48VDC power jack to S-IDU 48/60 VDC power port. 5. Connect a ground cable between S-IDU and an appropriate grounding point. 6. Plug the AC Input to the power (100-240VAC).

2.6 Grounding S-IDU unit is connected to Star Microwave outdoor unit, therefore proper grounding is required to protect against lightning. It is the operator's responsibility to install and ground S-IDU in accordance with local codes and regulations, such as ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 S-IDU earth lug should be connected to the protective earth at all times by a wire with a diameter of 10 AWG or wider. Units intend to be installed in a Rack should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets. Ground connection should be connected first and disconnected last. Do not connect telecommunication or any other cables to ungrounded equipment. Note: Only experience, trained professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate regulations should install grounding. Failure to do so may expose the operator to legal and financial liabilities. SM and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of indoor or outdoor units

In case value is not 0, verify the air link is stable with no PER. 4.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION S-IDU clock settings TDM traffic is a clocked traffic, where the information (bits) is transmitted at a constant rate. S-IDU converts the TDM traffic into Ethernet packets and sends it via Star Microwave Point-to-Point link. The Ethernet traffic is bursty (not constant rate and has variable size), so the main challenge of S-IDU subsystem is to provide constant rate traffic on both ends, or in other words, producing and transferring the clock. There are four clock modes combinations (configured at Star Microwave MU): S-IDU Clock setting TDM network (User equipment) MU S-IDU SU S-IDU MU Side SU Side Loopback Adaptive Internal Adaptive Adaptive Loopback Adaptive Internal Internal Adaptive Adaptive Adaptive Adaptive Internal Adaptive Adaptive Loopback-Adaptive - MU S-IDU clock is received via the TDM lines (Loopback) and SU S-IDU recovers it (Adaptive). Adaptive-Loopback - SU S-IDU clock is received via the TDM lines (Loopback) and MU S-IDU recovers it (Adaptive). Internal-Adaptive - The MU S-IDU uses internal clock (Internal) and SU S-IDU recovers it (Adaptive). Adaptive-Internal - The SU S-IDU uses internal clock (Internal) and MU S-IDU recovers it (Adaptive).

Page 15 of 24 4.2 TRAFFIC PRIORITIZATION TDM traffic must be prioritized over Ethernet traffic. For this purpose, SM system includes built in Quality of Service (QoS) based on 802.1p & 802.1q with 8 priority queues. Configure SM MU system mode to PTP+TDM to enable Point-to-Point mode optimized for TDM over IP traffic with built in QoS. This system mode was specifically designed to handle TDM & Ethernet traffic over the same link, where TDM traffic will be marked with high priority. The TDM prioritization is done automatically. Star Microwave S-IDU assigns highest priority (7) to the TDM packets in order to make sure the TDM traffic is prioritized over any other type of traffic.

4.3 LINK MANAGER MONITORING AND SPECIAL MODES S-IDU parameters and special modes are monitored and configured via the Link Manager.
