Paradise P300 specifications Installation and Configuration

5 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

5.1UNPACKING

Prior to unpacking, inspect the exterior of the shipping container for evidence of damage during transit. If damage is evident, contact the Carrier immediately and submit a damage report. Carefully unpack all items, taking care not to discard packing materials, particularly the moulded foam inserts. Should the unit need to be returned to Paradise Datacom, USE THE ORIGINAL PACKING CARTON. This is the only approved shipping container that Paradise recognises.

5.2VISUAL INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT

Once unpacked, visually inspect the unit for damage. The shipping carton in which the Modem is shipped has been used by Paradise to ship our products worldwide for a number of years. It has shown, through experience, that it can withstand very rough handling. Therefore, if the equipment received is damaged, there can be no doubt that it has been subjected to abnormal or abusive treatment - please file a claim with the Carrier immediately and then contact Paradise Datacom. Assuming, however, that the equipment has been received in perfect condition, proceed with the installation of the equipment.

5.3INTERFACE OPTIONS

Unlike previous Paradise products this unit is fitted as standard with an interface that is AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MODEM main board, DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE CARD. Customer specific interface options are available, but these require the standard interface to be `snapped off` and a connector soldered to the board before the modem can accept other standard Paradise interface cards.

Note if fitting the additional G.703 options (T1 or E1) that there are links and switches on the card, and these should be set BEFORE the card is installed.

5.4IF INTERFACE

Connect the appropriate cables to the Transmit IF and Receive IF connectors at the rear of the unit. Output power level can be controlled using the front-panel menus. The optimum input level for the demodulator is -45dBm ±15dB.

5.5POWER UP

At power up the unit performs an initialisation procedure, which lasts approximately 3 seconds. If the unit was previously operational, it will enter operating mode. If the unit was previously non-operational, then the main menu will be displayed. During the power-up phase, the unit will display the product number P300 with a V & S suffix indicating the presence of the Viterbi and / or Sequential codec, plus the unit serial number.

The user should then select SETUP, INITIAL CONFIG, (to define every parameter prior to operation), later changes to the configuration are made with the CHANGE option. The Status screen cannot be selected unless SETUP, INITIAL CONFIG has been performed.
