Course Description

The Eclipse™ product family is a highly modular and callable platform that delivers a unique combination of
high-capacity hybrid or all-packet transport, Carrier Ethernet/IP networking, and comprehensive mission critical microwave features, enabling operators to prepare for the all-IP future.

The Eclipse Installation, Operation, and Maintenance course teaches students key functions of the Eclipse platform. The course includes an overview of all available equipment, basic configuration with the Portal craft tool, system commissioning, maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. Extensive hands- on labs (nearly 50% of the course duration) offer students scenarios they will face in real deployments in their networks.

Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in the implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.

The Eclipse Installation, Operation, and Maintenance course is conducted at the Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites.

Required Equipment for Training Sessions at Customer Sites

RADIO: One equipment rack with 48VDC power supply (Note: All Eclipse equipment is positive earth.)

At least 1 radio link set up – 2 radios talking to each other. The path must have at least 60dB of attenuation. (For troubleshooting, variable attenuators are preferred but  ot mandatory.)

Each INU/INUe should include as a minimum:

  • Compact Flash Card with relevant feature licenses
  • RAC
  • DAC
  • Any relevant optional cards
  • Appropriate traffic cables (Ethernet/Optical cables)
  • Electrical/Optical SFPs

For the ODU:

  • 50-ohm N-type IF cable for RAC-ODU connection
  • Radio cables, attenuators, and transitions (WG-coax adapters)
  • ODUs should be a matching pair, i.e., same sub-band and TR spacing with one being Tx High and the other Tx Low

It is preferred although not essential to have 3 x INU/INUe and 2x Pairs of ODUs to allow nodal configurations.

OTHER EQUIPMENT: Ethernet tester, Digital Multi meter

CLASSROOM SET UP: Sufficient in size to handle all participants, desks, chairs, and classroom equipment. The room must have enough 110 AC (220) AC power and air conditioning to operate all necessary equipment, including students’ laptops.

Classroom Equipment
Multimedia projector and screen
Whiteboard and markers

Desk and Chairs
Desks or workstations with enough room for each student’s laptop and training materials.
