3.6 Establishing a Link
Before you can establish the link between the base station and the subscriber station(s), ensure that the equipment is
set up as follows.
• The NMS, base station, subscriber station, and one or more host computers are physically connected and powered
up as shown in Figure 3-1.
• If you are using an outdoor base station with an integrated antenna, ensure that the base station is vertically aligned
in comparison to its mounting. If you are using a non-integrated antenna, connect an external antenna.
• The base station network and radio have been configured as described in this manual.
• The subscriber station is powered up and connected to the host computers and the Downlink/Uplink frequency is
set to the same frequency as the base station transmit frequency.
• Host computers should be assigned static IP addresses.
