16 TESTINGTHECOMPONENTS
The best practice is to connect all components—BHs, APs, GPS antenna, and CMM2 or
CMMmicro—in a test setting and initially configure and verify them before deploying them
to an installation. In this way, any configuration issues are worked out before going on-
site, on a tower, in the weather, where the discovery of configuration issues or marginal
hardware is more problematic and work-flow affecting.
16.1 UNPACKINGCOMPONENTS
When you receive Cyclone products, carefully inspect all shipping boxes for signs of
damage. If you find damage, immediately notify the transportation company.
As you unpack the equipment, verify that all the components that you ordered have
arrived. Save all the packing materials to use later, as you transport the equipment to and
from installation sites.
16.2 CONFIGURINGFORTEST
You can use either of two methods to configure an AP or BHM:
• Use the Quick Start feature of the product. For more information on Quick Start,
see Quick Start Page of the AP on Page 185.
• Manually set each parameter.
After you change configuration parameters on a GUI web page:
1. Before you leave a web page, click the Save button to save the change(s).
2. After making change(s) on multiple web pages, click the Reboot button to reboot
the module and implement the change(s).
16.2.1 ConfiguringtheComputingDeviceforTest
If your computer is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
disconnect the computer from the network. If your computer is instead configured for
static IP addressing
• set the static address in the 169.254 network
• set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
