Service Computer
This section describes the requirement for the service computer that will
host the service utilities and be used in the field to install remote units.
These requirements also apply to the subscriber’s computer.
Computer
The service utilities are designed to run on a computer with a Windows
2000 or later operating system. For field service, a portable (laptop)
computer is used.
The computer must be configured with
–
an Ethernet (NIC) card,
–
a PPPoE client, and;
–
a CD drive.
Ethernet Cable
The service computer connects to the remote unit through an Ethernet
cable.
BRU-150
Use a CAT 5 Ethernet straight-thru cable with RJ-45 plug (male)
connectors on both ends to connect the computer to a BRU-150 Transceiver.
BRU-100
For the current version of the BRU-100 remote unit, a cable is supplied
with the installation kit that mates with the round connector on the
Outdoor Unit and has an RJ-45 connector on the other end. You will need
this cable and the installation power injector to connect the service
computer to the Outdoor Unit. Follow the instructions in the BRU-100
Installation and Configuration
manual, or the
Installation Summary
guide, using the service computer in place of the RIT.
The next version of the BRU-100 will have a standard RJ-45 jack in place of
the round connector, and the installation power injector will not be needed.
