2 Device Installation
2.1Software Requirements
Two types of software interfaces will be required during the installation and setup process of the VMM3600 device: MeshManager and the VMM Device Administration web interface.
MeshManager software needs to be installed and running on a network computer prior to VMM installation and configuration. MeshManager will be used in the VMM setup process to validate the installation of the device. In addition, MeshManager will be used to manage a VMM and other subscriber devices within the MEA network.
The VMM Device Administration web interface is used to administer and configure the device and can be accessed by connecting a PC to the wired interface. Additional information is provided later in the manual.
Detailed information about MeshManager software and its usage is found in the following publications: MeshManager User’s Guide and QuickStart for MeshManager.
2.2Equipment Requirements
A VMM6300 is utilized similarly to a subscriber device within a MEA network and will be used with the IAP6300 and MWR6300 infrastructure devices.
The following list defines the standard MEA hardware components to install a VMM:
•
•0dBi Antenna (supplied)
•15 foot cable assembly
The Network Operator must supply the following:
•Mounting Location
