INSTALLATION SUMMARY
Step 1 – Mount the Transceiver
Step 2 – Install the Antenna
Step 3 – Measure & Connect Primary Power
(10.5–30 Vdc)
Step 4 – Review the transceivers Configuration
Device Mode—Access Point, or Remote (Default)
Network Name—Unique name for each radio network.
Required for Remotes to associate with Access Point.
IP Address—Must be a unique number to allow for IP access
through the Ethernet Port.
NOTE: A unique IP address is essential to access the browser-based
Management System.
RF Output Power—Adjust as necessary for regulatory compliance.
(Default = 1 Watt /+30 dBm)
Password—Used for remote access and some Management System
features. (Default = admin)
Step 5 – Connect the Data Equipment
Connect the data equipment to data port(s):
LAN—10BaseT Ethernet-compatible equipment:
Ethernet Hub (Straight-Through Cable); Ethernet Node (Crossover)
COM2—Serial, RS/EIA-232 compatible equipment
COM1—Management System (Default); Serial (Alternate)
The Management System can be accessed through the COM1 Port using a terminal session on a PC. The basic items listed below,
along with many other parameters & tools can be accessed through this method. HTTP, Telnet access, and changing some parameters
are controlled by password.

Step 6 – Check for Normal Operation
Observe the transceiver LED status panel for the proper indications. In a normally operating system, the following LED indications
will be seen within 30 seconds of power-up:
PWR—Lights continuously LAN—On or blinks intermittently LINK— On or blinks intermittently (Remotes: if associated)
Use PING command to test basic data link integrity between Access Point and Remotes.
If the PING command is successful, connect the RTU/data equipment to the data port and verify normal operation.
If the LINK LED on Remotes is not on after 20 to 30 seconds, the unit has failed to associate with the Access Point. It may be
necessary to reposition or redirect the radio’s antenna for better reception/signal strength.
Check connected data equipment for normal operation
