It can be considered that Radio A is the primary radio in the link. Radio A provides the master
clock and control to Radio B. For most applications, it is not important how the radio link is
oriented, only that one end is configured for Radio A and the other for Radio B. For some
applications (such as, multi-radio hub sites or repeaters), the orientation of the radio systems may
be more critical. See Link Orientation and Synchronization on page 15 for details.
There are two ways to configure the radios for Radio A/B determination:
1.
Use the Exalt browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) – preferred.
2.
Connect to the radio using Telnet.
Exalt recommends using the Exalt GUI for radio configuration. This interface requires a
computer with an Ethernet port and web browser software, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.0 or above. See Configuration and Management on page 34 for details on how to connect to
and use the browser-based GUI interface.
Shipping Box Contents
