Repeat the above steps for Radio A, except for the following: 

 

For 

step 2

: Add the RF MAC Address of Radio A to your record. 

 

For 

step 3

: In addition to all other items, change the radio to 

Radio A

 

For 

step 4

:  

 

Access List Filtering

 is recommended for Radio A. 

 

If Access List Filtering has been enabled, enter the Radio B RF MAC 
Address (from the text file you created) in the 

Peer MAC Address

 

field. 

7.

 

On 

Radio A

, go to 

Configuration>Advanced>Antenna Alignment

 and 

enter the Radio B RF MAC Address in the 

Remote MAC Address

 field. 

8.

 

Log in to 

Radio B

 and go to 

Administration>Settings

 and enter the RF 

MAC Address for Radio A (from your text file) in the 

Peer MAC Address

 

field. 

9.

 

On 

Radio B

, go to 

Configuration>Advanced>Antenna Alignment

 and 

enter the RF MAC Address for Radio A in the 

Remote MAC Address

 

field. 

 

Note:

 Ensure that the Firmware Version (on the Radio Information page) 

matches for both terminals in the link. Follow the instructions in the I&M 
to upgrade firmware. It is advised to upgrade radios to the latest 
firmware, which is obtained on the Exalt website. 

At this stage, if and when the 

Radio (RF) State

 for both radios is enabled on the 

System Configuration

 page, the link is ready for back-to-back testing or 

installation. 

This product must be professionally installed. The Transmit Power level must be 
configured, prior to connection to the antenna system, in accordance to all 
government regulations that apply. The professional installer is responsible to 
ensure that the implementation is within legal limits. 

Exalt strongly recommends a proper back-to-back test, because it can be 
extremely challenging, time consuming, and costly to troubleshoot a system that 
is not properly preconfigured and tested. A back-to-back test requires two RF 
cables, and approximately 60–70dB of attenuation between the radios, using RF 
absorption material for integrated antenna models or coaxial attenuators on both 
RF connections for rc models.  

Reset to Factory Settings 

If the IP address or password is lost or forgotten or any issue exists where access 
to the radio cannot be made, reset the radio to factory defaults.  

 

Note:

  If the IP address or License Key was changed, the browser 

session is lost. If you changed the IP address, log in with the new IP 
address and confirm the configuration.
