Getting Started Connections and Power

Chapter 2 Getting Started

First unpack your MU and RU. It is recommended that you first provision and test your the radios on the bench before deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user.

Connections and Power

Connection and powering of the radios is the same for MUs and RUs.

•Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the ODU (out door unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will carry power-over- Ethernet (PoE).

•If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NET port of the J-box to the computer’s Ethernet port.

If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable.

•Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.

Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the J-box as well as the radio. You are now ready to configure the radio via the Ethernet port.

Note: If you cannot access the radio management functions via the Ethernet port, it is possible that your PC is not set up with a properly routable subnet. If you forget the radio’s IP address, or for some other reason cannot access the radio via the Ethernet port, use the Serial Programming cable (supplied with each TrangoLINK kit) and attach it to the RJ-11 port located behind the access cover on the bottom of the radio.
