Before Hoisting the Antenna
 Check the height and the position of
the antenna, it should comply with
the design document.
 Determine the azimuth of the
antenna by compass, GPS or
telescope.
 Verify the type and polarization of
the antenna.
 Adjust the polarization type of the
antenna if necessary.

RTN 900 IDU Profile
 The IDU is used to receive and multiplexes services,
performs service processing and IF processing, and
provides the system control and communications function.

 The IDU 905 is case-shaped, not support the pluggable

board. So it will skip the board installation step.
