Configuring Link for Test
It is important to stage the AP/BHM and SM/BHS units first to verify proper registration before
deploying the modules to the site. To begin configuring the modules for test, see the sections below:
Configuring the management PC
To configure the local management PC to communicate with the AP, SM, BHM or BHS, proceed as
follows:
Powering the AP/SM/BH for test configuration
Perform the following steps to power on the ODU.
Procedure 2 Powering the ODU
1
Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the ODU.
2
Plug the Ethernet cable connector labeled To Radio into the jack in the pig tail that
hangs from the power supply.
3
Plug the other connector of the pig tail (this connector labeled To Computer) into the Ethernet
jack of the computing device.
4
Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
Warning
From this point until you remove power from the ODU, stay at least as far
from the AP as the minimum separation distance specified in
on page

Power up the computing device
6
Start the browser in the computing device
The AP/BHM interface provides a series of web pages to configure and monitor the unit. Access web-
based interface through a computing device that is either directly connected or connected through a
network to the AP/BHM. If the computing device is not connected to a network when it is being
configured for test environment, and if the computer has used a proxy server address and port to
configure a module, then the operator may need to first disable the proxy setting in the computer.
