545C Operations Manual

02/10/2012 Prerelease DCN 00001789-A

When power applied is initially applied to the MCC-545C, or after a

software boot or hardware reset, the following message will be

displayed:

545C PACKET DATA RADIO

S/W Part Number* P1079-00-00 Version* 6.87 09/29/05

* Part Number, Version Number, and date vary according to a particular

radio’s firmware.

At this time all configuration data is loaded from Program Memory into

RAM. This data will remain in RAM and on all subsequent power-cycle

sequences the following message will be displayed:

01/23/04 16:54:10 POWER SHUTDOWN/FAIL OCCURRED.

02/02/04 12:54:44 POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED... RESUMING OPERATION.

This is the type of message that should be displayed when you first

apply power to the unit during a field installation, and for each

subsequent power cycle of the radio.

If the greeting message is not displayed, then the RAM contents may

have been lost under one of the conditions described in Section 2.4 and

the proper script file must be re-entered into the MCC-545C using

XTermW. (Refer to Sections 3.3.3.5 and 4.2.7 and Appendix C for more

information on using script files.)

4.3.3 Initialization Procedures

The following initialization procedures should now be performed in the

order they are given below.

Verify Device Type

The MCC-545C must be programmed to operate as a particular device

type, such as Remote Station, Repeater, or Base, depending on your

network configuration. The device type is normally set at the factory

prior to shipment to ensure proper integration with your network.
