3.2 Quick Start Operation

This section describes the necessary steps to communicate with a Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA using the Ethernet Quick Start cable and the Universal M&C Software. The Paradise Datacom Universal M&C Software is a free Windows-based application that can be downloaded from the company web site, www.paradisedata.com.

Both the Ethernet and Serial Quick Start Cables force the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA into a known state. Once communication is established using these cables, all permanent settings must be saved to the unit. If changes are not saved, the unit will revert back to the state before the Quick Start cables were used.

3.2.1 Set PC Configuration

To set your Windows-based PC to remotely communicate with the Mini Compact Outdoor unit, perform the following steps.

If using Windows XP:

1.Open the PC’s Control Panel (Start Menu → Settings → Control Panel);

2.Double-click on the Network Connections icon;

3.Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties;

4.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button;

5.Select “Use the following IP address” and enter the following information: IP address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

6.Click the “OK” button and close out of all of the Control Panel windows.
