Set or Verify Network Address
The only setting normally required for initial checkout of a Remote radio is the network address. All radios in a given network must be programmed with the same network address as the AP, or communication is impossible. Follow the steps below to check the address, and program a new one if necessary.
1.Enter the RADIO NETADDR= command. This displays the currently programmed network address.
2.If changes are required, enter the RADIO NETADDR=<netaddr> command, where <netaddr> is
3.Verify that the LINK LED lights to indicate successful connection with the AP. (It may take several seconds for the LED to light.)
4.Repeat Steps
This concludes the basic setup of a Remote radio. A full listing of Remote programming commands is given in Chapter 4, Remote Radio Management.
With all radios connected, you are ready to connect data devices to the transceivers so that their operation can be tested over the wireless network. This is discussed in the next step.
Step 5—Connect Terminal Equipment
This step describes connection of external data equipment to the Remote radio. Verify that your transceiver is capable of supporting your devices.
Be sure not to overload the radio network with
Ethernet Device Connection to Remote
Verify that the Remote ETH port is enabled (on) using the ETH command. If it is not, use the ETH=ON command to enable the port.
Connect an Ethernet endpoint to the Remote ETH port. The ETH port supports any Ethernet- compatible device. This includes a device that uses the Internet Protocol (IP).
Serial Device Connection to Remote
Connect a serial device to the Remote COM2 port and verify that the port settings are compatible with the connected device (baud rate, data format, etc.).
Step 6—Check for Normal Operation
With data equipment connected, you are ready to check the transceivers for normal operation.
