NOTICE
Before site selection, it is necessary to detect the interference signal strength in

the surrounding environment of the selected site.
You are advised to use a Wi-Fi analyzer to scan nearby 5 GHz interference sources.
Ensure that the interference signal strength is –70 dBm at most, the number of
interference sources is 20 at most and the interference duty cycle is 25% at most.
Networking Requirements
The external RT supports the chain networking. During networking, the device
between the two sites must meet the obstacles in the Fresnel zone. That is, the
installation height must be greater than the sum of the radius of the first Fresnel
zone and the obstacle height.
As shown in the following figure, the Fresnel zone refers to the ellipsoid. Obstacles
in the zone will adversely affect signal transmissions. If not blocked, radio signals
can travel in an approximate free space.
Figure 2-1 Fresnel zone

Fresnel zones differ depending on the Fresnel zone radius. In a free space, radio
signals are mainly transmitted between antennas in the first Fresnel zone. In
normal cases, the Fresnel zone refers to the first Fresnel zone. The radius of the
first Fresnel zone is calculated and related parameters are described as follows:
● r: indicates the radius of the first Fresnel zone, in meters.

● d: indicates the distance between two antennas, in km.
● f: indicates the signal frequency, in GHz.
With 5 GHz signals as an example, the following table lists the radius of the first
Fresnel zone in different backhaul distances.
Table 2-1 Radius of the first Fresnel zone

2 5.48
3 6.71
5 8.66

Networking Specifications
In chain networking mode, multiple external RTs are cascaded through Wi-Fi, and
videos are backhauled to APs level by level. Table 2-2 describes the product
specifications, and Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 show the networking diagrams.

This topic uses the pole-mounting mode as an example to describe the cable
connections between the external RT and another device, as shown in the
following figure.

NOTE
The preceding figure is for reference only.

3.2 Installing the device on a Pole
NOTICE
● The external RT is mounted to a pole during outdoor installation. The wall

thickness of the pole should be at least 2.5 mm. A 50 mm diameter pole made
of round steel is usually used. In harsh scenarios such as outdoor video
backhaul, the power port may be damaged by lightning strikes. Therefore, an
outdoor surge protector must be installed on the power port and the cabling
mode must be secure.
● Install the external RTs far away from high-voltage power sources and RF
signal interference sources (such as other external RTs and antennas).
● Do not install antennas in bad weather conditions such as raining, snowing, or
strong winds.
● During installation, adjust the device height based on the site survey
requirements. Ensure no obstacle in the Fresnel zone.
1. Mark the installation position of the angle-adjustable mounting kit based on

site survey requirements, as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 Distance between the device and the ground
2. Install the angle-adjustable mounting kit, as shown in Figure 3-2.

a. Determine the position for installing the device. Then place the angle-
adjustable mounting kit on the pole, thread the hose clamps through the
mounting kit, and encircle the pole with the hose clamps. See illustrations
a, b, and c in the following figure.
b. Use an M6 inner hexagon screwdriver to alternately tighten the bolts on
the two hose clamps to 7 N·m to secure the angle-adjustable mounting
kit. See illustration d in the following figure.

Figure 3-2 Installing the angle-adjustable mounting kit
NOTE
● Verify that the arrow on the mounting kit points up.

● When using hose clamps to secure the mounting kit, pay attention to the positions
of the bolts and the mounting kit, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Top view of the hose clamps and mounting kit
3. Install the device vertically on the angle-adjustable mounting kit, and use an
M10 inner hexagon torque socket to tighten the positioning screw to 28 N·m.

Figure 3-4 Installing the device on the angle-adjustable mounting kit
4. Determine the installation angle of the device based on the network planning
document, and adjust the installation angle.
The horizontal angle can be adjusted in the range of ±30 degrees, and the
vertical angle can be adjusted in the range of ±30 degrees.
NOTE
● If the angle cannot be adjusted because the screw is too tight, loosen the screw
first.
● You are not advised to adjust the horizontal angle and vertical angle at the same
time.
– Adjusting the horizontal angle:
i. Use an M10 inner hexagon torque socket to loosen the screw, as
shown by illustration a in the following figure.
ii. Hold the device and adjust the tilt angles to a proper angle, as
shown by illustration b in the following figure.
iii. Use an M10 inner hexagon torque socket to tighten the screw to 28
N·m, as shown by illustration c in the following figure.

Figure 3-5 Adjusting the horizontal angle
– Adjusting the vertical angle:

i. Use an M10 inner hexagon torque socket to loosen the screw, as
shown by illustration a in the following figure.
ii. Hold the device and adjust the tilt angles to a proper angle, as
shown by illustration b in the following figure.
iii. Use an M10 inner hexagon torque socket to tighten the screw to 28
N·m, as shown by illustration c in the following figure.

Figure 3-6 Adjusting the vertical angle
– Setting the vertical tilt angle

Set the vertical downtilt of the device based on the actual terrain,
distance between the device and the camera, and height difference.
Figure 3-7 The device installation downtilt is 0°
If the terrain is smooth and the height difference h between the device
and the camera meets the following conditions, the device installation
downtilt can be 0°:
h=h1+h2-h3-h4

-0.1495 *d1 < h < +0.1495 *d1

In addition,when the downtilt of the device is 0°, the relationship
between d1 and h is as follows:
Distance d1 (unit: m) between 100 25 500 100 150 2000

the device and the camera 0 0 0
Maximum height difference 14. 37. 74. 149 224. 298.

between the device and the 9 4 7 .5 2 9
camera |h| (unit: m)
Figure 3-8 The downtilt of the device is not 0°
In areas with large terrain fluctuations, the height difference (h) between
the device and the camera is large. If the installation mode of the device
at the 0° downtilt cannot meet the requirements, calculate the device
downtilt using the following method:
h=h1+h2-h3-h4;
Radiation angle of nearest camera A=arctan(h/d1/3.14*180);
In addition, the maximum downtilt angle A of the equipment installation
is less than 30°.
5. Verify that the screw in the vertical direction is tightened.
3.3 Installing the PGND Cable

This topic describes the process of installing the PGND cable.
NOTE
● The ground point is located at the bottom of the device. To facilitate installation, you
are advised to install the PGND cable and equipotential cable before installing the
device.
● The total length of the PGND cable (cross-sectional area: 6 mm2) does not exceed 30 m
and the ground resistance is less than 10 ohms.

Step 1 Prepare a PGND cable.

1. Cut a cable to suit the actual cable route.
2. Add OT terminals to both ends of the cable. For details, see the description in
"Installation Reference" in Huawei OptiXstar T600W User Guide.
Step 2 Install the PGND cable.
