System Setup

Operator’s Computer Setup

The ACS3000 is controlled from an operator's computer through an Ethernet connection to the LM KVS-CPU.
The LMKVS-CPU may be connected to the operator's computer via a LAN (Local Area Network ) or via a
direct connection using an Ethernet crossover cable. A browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscap e is
necessary to activate the Java applet that manages the ACS3000 LMKVS-CPU. In order to use a br owser to
connect to the LMKVS-CPU, the Java Plug-in application must be installed on the operator 's computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Minimum system requirement for use of Revision E of ACS3000 softw are and
Java Plug-in version 1.4.2_05 is Windows 98. Earlier versions of Windows are not support ed.

Java Plug In Installation

The Java Plug-in application is available from Andrew and is installed from a CD delivered wit h the LMKVS-
CPU. After the file is loaded to the operator's computer, execute the program to install the current version.
The current version of the Java Plug-in program is j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe. Execute t his program
and follow the setup options. Once the program is installed, the operator must replace the ja va.policy file
that was created by the installation with the java.policy file available on the CD delivered b y Andrew. The
new java.policy file must be copied over the java.policy file in the directory C:\Program Files\ Java\
j2re1.4.2_05\lib\security.

Operator’s Computer IP Address

The LMKVS-CPU and operator's computer IP addresses also need to be set up. If a LAN is used, the
operator needs to set up the Internet connection options on his browser. The operator should contac t his IT
manager in order to verify that the LAN to be used is compatible with the IP address ass igned to the ACS300
system. If the LAN is not compatible with the default IP assigned to the ACS3000, the operator m ust create
a single system network to directly connect the operator’s computer with the ACS3000. Once the localized
network is set up, the operator my change his computer IP to an IP compatible to the ACS3000 d efault IP.
The computer IP address may be changed by selecting the control panel and then the Net work and Dial-up
Connection and then the properties on the LAN to reconfigure the operator’s computer IP. Since the
ACS3000 default IP is 192.168.1.76 with a net mask of 255.255.0.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1. 1, the
operator’s computer IP must be set to 192.168.1.x where x is in the range 2 to 254, excluding 7 6.
If the operator wishes to use the LAN at his site, he may have to change the IP address of the ACS3000 to
make it compatible with his site LAN. The only way to change the ACS3000 IP address is to set up the
single system network as defined above and then telnet into the ACS3000 and execute admin as des cribed
in the next section.

LMKVS-CPU IP Setup

In order for the operator to connect to the LMKVS-CPU, the operator must know the IP addres s of the unit.
This address will be defined at the factory but can be changed by using telnet to connect to the an tenna
controller and executing an administrative function. NOTE: the factory default antenna contro ller IP address
is 192.168.1.76. Use that address if no other address has been assigned. To change the IP addr ess, bring
up an MS-DOS window then enter telnet 192.168.1.76. Login as admin with the password 'APC admin'. The
following screen will be displayed.
