General Operational Setup and First Time Use
The factory installs all software necessary for operating the RF-B! transmitter controller. There
are, however, site specific setups that are necessary before the RF-B! transmitter controller is
ready to perform paging operation. The following sections provide detailed procedures for all
site specific setups.
All setup procedures use a service terminal using the Friendly Integrated Paging
System (FIPS) protocol to interface with the RF-B! transmitter controller. If unfamiliar with
this interface, reference Chapter 5, "Operation", paragraph, "Service Terminal" for a detailed
FIPS tutorial.
The setup procedures are broken down into the following parts:
• Networking
• Transmitter interface, RF-B! setup
• GPS value recording
Networking Setup
This procedure configures the RF-B! transmitter controller site specific networking parameters
for normal operation with an ethernet input. Refer to the site network plan for the information
required to complete this procedure. Record the site specific values of the networking
information in Table 4-5.
If using multicast, refer to Chapter 6, "Maintenance", paragraph, "Assigning an RF-B!
Transmitter Controller to a Multicast Group".
