Procedure Overview for a New Installation
This procedure assumes a new, unconfigured radio (IP address not configured).
1. Check the hardware installation is complete at both ends of the link and the
9500 MXC Nodes/Terminals are ready for power-on. For hardware
installation details, refer to Volume 3, 9500 MXC Installation.
2. Power on the Node/Terminal at the front panel by inserting the power
connector. An INU/INUe/IDU must be powered on for 90 seconds before a
CT connection is possible.
• If connection is attempted during this start up phase, an error message may
be returned advising CT cannot determine the type of terminal at.... If such
an error message is returned, close and reopen CT.
3. Connect your CT PC to 9500 MXC and open CT to the Start Up screen:
• Connect using the supplied V.24 cable. (In the event the IP address of the
radio is known, an Ethernet connection should be used to take advantage of
its superior speed).
Once powered up the ODU(s) will be transmitting with the pre-configured or
ex-factory frequency and power settings unless the transmit mute option has
been invoked as the start-up default. If mute default has not been selected and if
frequency and/or power settings are not correct for the application, interference
may be caused to other links in the same geographical area. If in doubt, check
Link configuration as a priority on initial power-on, and reconfigure as necessary.
Refer to Link Configuration on page 7-3. Alternatively, for a Node, RACs may be
withdrawn from the backplane until you are ready to configure them.
Always turn the power off to an INU/INUe or withdraw the RAC from its backplane
before disconnecting or reconnecting an ODU cable at the RAC.
