4. Setting Up for Initial Operation
4.1 Introduction
Most of the EAC-2100 operating parameters are under software control and can be
changed from either a local terminal or a remote terminal. You will probably have to
change some of these parameters to get the system running. After programming
channels, you will also need to tune the transmitter combiner and adjust power levels.
This section describes procedures for:
• Powering up and powering down the EAC-2100
• Connecting the local terminal
• Becoming familiar with system commands
• Programming initial parameters
• Tuning the transmitter combiner and setting output power
The checklist in Figure 4-1 presents a brief overview of these procedures. For more
detailed descriptions of the procedures, refer to Sections 4.2−4.7. For detailed
descriptions of all parameters, refer to Volume 2, Operating Procedures.
Additional instructions for special EAC-2100 configurations and options are provided
in Sections 7 through 10. If you have problems during setup, refer to Appendix A,
Troubleshooting Guide.
