Applying power to the terminals
Caution:
Before applying power to a terminal, ensure you have connected the safety earth and antenna cable.
Apply power to the terminals at each end of the link.
When power is first applied, all the front panel LEDs will illuminate red for several seconds as the
system initializes.
After the system is initialized, the OK LED on the front panel should illuminate green and if the
terminals are correctly configured, the TX and RX LED should also be illuminated green.
If the RX LED is:
Red — the antennas are may be significantly mis-aligned with no signal being received.
Orange — the antennas may be roughly aligned with some signal being received.
Green — the antennas are well-aligned and adequate signal is being received to create a
reliable path.
If the TX LED is:
Red — there is a fault in the antenna or feeder cable, or the transmitter is faulty.
Green — this means the transmitter is working normally.
Review the link configurations using SuperVisor
1. Connect a PC, with SuperVisor installed, to both terminals in the link.
2. Log into the link.
3. Select Link > Summary and confirm the following basic information:
Terminal IP address(es)
Terminal TX and RX frequencies
RSSI (dBm)
TX power (dBm)
SNR (dBm)
Note: If the terminals have not already been configured, refer to "
Configuring the terminal" on page
61, "Configuring the traffic interfaces" on page 77, and "Configuring the traffic cross connections" on
page
