Step 3: Replace the cover ensuring it is firmly latched
5.7.7 Mounting The PIDU
This step is optional. Motorola recommends that you mount the PIDU on a wall or other suitable mounting
surface. This prevents the unit from being knocked or kicked and can help maintain link availability. Ensure that
the reset switch can be accessed when mounting the unit.
Step 1: Fix the PIDU to the wall using the lugs
provided.
Step 2: Make connections as per Section 5.7.6
5.7.8 Powering Up
The Canopy 45 Mbps Backhaul system is supplied as a pair of matched Master/Slave units. The Master unit to
be configured can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://169.254.1.2; the Slave unit can
be accessed using http://169.254.1.1.
Prior to powering up the 45 Mbps Backhaul, a computer with web browsing capabilities should be configured
with an IP address of 169.254.1.n and subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 where n is any value between 1 and 254 but
excluding 1 or 2. If the default address of the unit 169.254.1.1/2 clashes with an address you are already using
on your LAN, or you are not sure, you should set up an isolated LAN. As the LAN connection presented at the
PIDU has a default configuration as a hub/switch (and auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over is employed)
connection can be made directly to the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch cable.
Before physical installation takes place the units to be installed should be set up as described in the section
6.3.3. This process will give the installer the opportunity to set the units IP address to one that is in the desired
address range and set each unit up with the MAC address of its peer unit ready to establish a radio link. It is
recommended that this procedure be carried out on the bench before physical installation commences. Providing
it is safe to do so the installer should take the process to the point where a radio link is established before
proceeding to the installation site.
