Antenna Compatibility

The airFiber AF-11 radio is designed for use with the airFiber X antenna model AF-11G35*.

* Check your local/regional regulations for the antenna gain allowed for your application

Installation Requirements

Clear line of sight between airFiber radios

Vertical mounting orientation

Mounting point:

At least 1 m below the highest point on the structure

For tower installations, at least 3 m below the top of the tower

Ground wires – min. 10 AWG (5 mm ) and max. length: 1 m. As a safety precaution,

ground the airFiber radio to grounded masts, poles, towers, or grounding bars.

WARNING:

Failure to properly ground your airFiber radio will void your

warranty.

AF-11 Quick Start Guide

(Recommended) 2 Outdoor Gigabit PoE surge protectors

Note:

For guidelines about grounding and lightning protection, follow your

local electrical regulatory codes.

High-Band Duplexer(s) (model AF-11-DUP-H) or Low-Band Duplexer(s) (model AF-11-

DUP-L) are required for proper operation:

SISO mode: One Duplexer of either band type

MIMO mode: Two Duplexers of the same band type

(Optional) If not using PoE: DC power source and 12/30 AWG power cable

Outdoor, shielded Category 6 (or above) cabling and shielded RJ-45 connectors are

required for all wired Ethernet connections.

Hardware Overview

Note:

Duplexers must be purchased separately. The Duplexer(s) must match

the terms of your license (frequency bands and polarities allowed).

When the Chain 0 or Chain 1 duplexer is installed, its N-type connector is located here,

allowing connection to an RF cable (Chain 1 is covered by the removable duplexer cap).

LED will light blue when on.

Signal 1

LED will light red when on.

Bootup to airOS

When powering on, the Power, MIMO, LINK, and Signal 1-4 LEDs light

on. Once the CPU code takes over, the MIMO, LINK, and Signal 1-3 LEDs turn oﬀ. Signal

4 LED remains lit to indicate the boot sequence is underway.

Initializing airFiber Software

When the airFiber application begins to boot under

airOS®, the Signal 4 LED goes from solidly on to a 2.5 Hz ash. This continues until the

‐

11FX is fully booted.

Signal Level

Once fully booted, the Signal 1-4 LEDs act as a bar graph showing how

close the AF

‐

11FX is to ideal aiming. This is auto-scaled based on the link range, the

antenna gains, and the congured TX power of the remote AF

‐

11FX. Each Signal LED

has three possible states: On, Flashing, and Oﬀ. All Signal LEDs would be solidly on in an

ideal link. For example, if the link has a 1 dB loss, the Signal 4 LED will ash; a 2 dB loss

and the Signal 4 LED will turn oﬀ. The full bar graph LED states are shown below.

10/100 Mbps, secured Ethernet port for conguration. In-Band Management is enabled

by default in the airFiber Conguration Interface. When In-Band Management is

disabled, the MGMT port is the only port that can monitor, congure, and/or update

rmware.

To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds

while the device is already powered on.

The terminal block can be used to power the AF-11 with +50VDC, 1.2A instead of PoE.

(SISO and MIMO modes).

The RX and TX SMA ports for the Chain 1 Low-Band Duplexer or High-Band Duplexer

(MIMO mode only). In SISO mode, these unused ports are protected by the duplexer

cap.

High-band and low-band channel SMA ports.

Note:

Duplexers are not included with the AF-11. SISO mode requires one Low-

Band Duplexer or one High-Band Duplexer. MIMO mode requires either two Low-

Band Duplexers or two High-Band Duplexers.

Installation Overview

We recommend that you congure your paired AF-11 radios before site installation. The

overview below summarizes the installation procedure, and the subsequent sections

provide detailed installation information.

Install the Duplexer(s) in the AF-11 radio.

Connect the airFiber Gigabit PoE adapter to the DATA port, and connect your computer

to the MGMT port.

Congure the AF-11.

Install a ground wire and mount the AF-11 on the airFiber AF-11G35 antenna (or a

compatible antenna).

At the installation site, install the antenna with the mounted AF-11 radio (see the

antenna’s Quick Start Guide for installation instructions).

Connect the DATA port to your LAN, and connect power (PoE or DC power) to the AF-

11.

Establish and optimize the RF link.

Installing the Duplexers

Installing the Duplexer for SISO Mode

AF-11 Quick Start Guide

Note:

Position the low channel and high channel ports to yield the required

transmit and receive frequencies.

WARNING:

Tighten the collars alternately, a half turn at a time, until both are

fully tightened. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Duplexer.

AF-11 Quick Start Guide

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the radio to be used on the other end of the link, ensuring that the

numbers on the second radio’s Duplexer are in the reverse order of the numbers on rst

radio’s Duplexer.

Note:

For example, if the numbers on the rst radio’s Duplexer are (left to right)

1/3, then the numbers on the second radio’s Duplexer should be 3/1.

Installing the Duplexers for MIMO Mode

Note:

MIMO operation requires two licenses, one per polarization and two

Duplexers of the same band type.
