Maintaining the system
Once installed, a PTP 800 link should require little or no maintenance.
Yearly maintenance
Recommended yearly physical maintenance:
• Check cables for corrosion, chafing etc.
• Check waterproofing.
• Check ground points for corrosion, tightness etc.
Monthly maintenance
Recommended monthly radio maintenance:
• Read Link Loss and compare against last reading.
• Read ByteER and compare against last reading.
1+1 Hot Standby link maintenance
For a 1+1 Hot Standby link, consider a controlled switchover to the inactive unit (once
every three months), to confirm that it is fully functional.
This can cause a short interruption to traffic and should be scheduled accordingly to
minimize the effects.
