8.1 Getting Started
Prior to installing a M2TE unit into the desired target environment, an initial checkout should be
performed to ensure proper operation of the unit. The initial checkout consists of configuring a basic
MT2E link.
Figure 34 – Basic M2TE Link Setup shows a basic standard single program M2TE wireless link
configuration. (NOTE: MSR and Block Down-Converters & M2D units and their associated hardware
are sold separately). The steps necessary to setup the configuration shown in Figure 34 – Basic M2TE
Link Setup are shown below. High throughput (4K) optional M2TE require additional hardware (which
includes two MSRs, a DDP plug in card and a combiner).
