To establish basic connectivity between a Base Station and a Subscriber,
start the configuration with the Base Station. The IP address and Device
Name will be as set from the factory (or by the previous user). With a
factory-fresh unit, the Device Name will blank. The Configuration - Radio

Figure 6. Mercury Configuration—Radio
For 3650 units, the frequency defaults to 3662.5 MHz and the bandwidth
is set to 3.5 MHz. These default values are sufficient to perform
benchtop testing prior to final installation. Set the frequency and
bandwidth to the same values on the Base Station and Subscriber. If
performing the test on a table, cable the units as shown in Figure 7. The
attenuator cables should be connected to the radio’s TX/RX connectors.
NOTE: The frequency default for the 1800 model is 1815 MHz. For
the 5800 model it is 5800 MHz. Not all frequencies can be
configured for each bandwidth. Ranges differ.
