Final Link CX Configuration
Obtain a copy of the information entered in Table 3-3, Radio Link Planning Worksheet, and continue
with the following steps:
1 Record the RSSI level from Step 85 in Chapter Four for future reference. The Step 85 value
is the RSSI level with Automatic Tx Power Control disabled.
2 Connect your computer to the Link CX through the Ethernet equipment connected to the
ETHERNET 1 or ETHERNET 2 port.
3 Log in to the Link CX built-in web server to display the Monitor page as described in
Section 4-2.2.
4 Go to the Test page, and verify that No Test is selected.
5 Go to the Commission Radio page, and verify that the entries on this page match the entries
in Table 3-3, Radio Link Planning Worksheet. Make sure the Tx Attenuation is set to No
attenuation, and that Automatic Tx Power Control is set to Enable.
6 Go to the Commission Manager Interfaces page, and verify that the entries on this page
match the entries in Table 3-3, Radio Link Planning Worksheet.
You can upgrade the login security of the Link CX at this time. If you want to restrict access
to the Link CX, consider the following:
• If the Link CX does not have a Login Name and Password, you can assign one now.
• If the Link CX allows login from any IP address, you may want to restrict login to only
one or two IP addresses. MAKE SURE the Craft PC IP address is included if you select
this option.
• If the Link CX is set to broadcast SNMP traps to the Public community, you can restrict
broadcasts to a different community.
• If the Link CX is set to broadcast SNMP traps to multiple IP addresses, you can restrict
broadcasts to fewer IP addresses.
• If the Link CX is set to allow read-write access from the Public community, you can
restrict read-write access to a different community.
• If the Link CX is set to allow read-write access from any or multiple IP addresses, you
can restrict read-write access to fewer IP addresses.
• If the Link CX is set to allow read-only access from the Public community, you can
restrict read-only access to a different community.
• If the Link CX is set to allow read-only access from any IP address, you can restrict
read-only access to fewer IP addresses.
7 When required, make any security upgrades as described in Step 6.
The Link CX is now fully configured, tested, and operational, and should continue to operate
unattended. Continue with Chapter Six for monitoring and trend analysis, and refer to Chapter Seven for
troubleshooting information.
