MCC-6120 SDR Packet Data Radio Network

3.3 Power-Up Sequence

IMPORTANT

Before applying power to the MCC-6120 SDR, check all connections between the MCC-6120

SDR and the external equipment (power, antenna, operator terminal, and data logger). Refer to

Section 3.2.3 for cabling instructions.

3.3.1 Connect Operator Terminal

Connect a laptop or an operator terminal, with XTERMW installed and running, to the Operator

Port. XTERMW is an MCC windows-based terminal emulation program designed for

interfacing with MCC products. The operator terminal must be programmed with the same

configuration parameters as the Operator Port.

The Operator Port of the MCC-6120 SDR is programmed with the following factory default

configuration at the time of shipment:

Baud rate 9600 Parity none

Data bits 8 Protocol ASCII

Stop bit 1 Flow control none

3.3.2 Power Connection

Power up the MCC-6120 SDR by applying +12VDC to the power connector.

NOTE

When the unit transmits, it will draw up to 20 amps; therefore, review section 3.2.3.1 for proper

cabling to the power source. The voltage drop at the input connector during transmission should

be less than 2 V

for proper operation of the unit. Verify this during the Operational Test

Procedure in Section 3.4.

When power is initially applied to the MCC-6120 SDR, or after a software boot or hardware

reset, the following message will be displayed:
