Connecting the AdminManager PC to the Accel Hub
Considerations:
• The AdminManager software, described in the AdminManager User Manual
(PN 8810-10), must be running on a PC/laptop that is connected to the Accel
Hub’s front panel
RS-232 port.
• Null modem cable with female connectors is required.
To connect the PC/laptop, start AdminManager, and power on the Hub:
1. Connect the null modem cable to the PC/laptop and then to the RS-232 port on the
Hub’s front panel.
2. Turn on the PC and start AdminManager.
The AdminManager main window is displayed with the Installation Wizard
option selected.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the Hub.
4. Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
Verify that all cables are properly connected on the Hub.
5. Turn on the power to the Hub.
Upon initial power-up, the Main Hub LEDs should blink continuously to indicate
that there is no frequency band programmed into the Hub.
On subsequent power ups, after a band is programmed, the LEDs will blink for
five seconds as a visual check that they are functioning.
6. Click NEXT if the message displayed indicates a successful test.
The Finish window is displayed.
7. Click FINISH.
The AdminManager session is ended and the window is closed.
NOTE: Refer to Section 8 for troubleshooting.
6.4.1.1 Installing Accel Hubs in a Multiple Operator System
Installing Accel Hubs in a multiple operator system is the same as described in
Section 6.4.1 on page 6-10.
We recommend mounting all multiple operator system Accel Hubs in the same
rack(s), grouped by frequency or wireless carrier. For example, group the Hubs for
the 800 MHz cellular bands together, and so on.
Connecting to base stations and repeaters is the same as described in Section 6.5 on
page 6-21 and Section 6.5.1 on page 6-25.
