forces the timing units to run ACP. The satellite router
automatically inquires for validation when the timing unit
indicates ACP is present. Based on the ACP configuration,
the satellite router may occasionally request re-validation.
Satellite-based
commissioning
Satellite-based commissioning (SBC) is the another
commissioning method. Commissioning the satellite router using
SBC consists of the following tasks:
•
Obtaining an IP address from the HX200 satellite router
•
Uploading the SBC configuration file to the HX200
•
Commissioning the HX200
Obtaining an IP address
from the HX200 satellite
router
1. Ensure that the installer laptop is configured to support the
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP
address. Refer to Appendix A for instructions on how to
configure a Windows computer to use DHCP.
2. Verify that the installer laptop is connected to the HX200 by
an Ethernet cable.
3. Open a command window on the installer laptop and obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server. For example, on a
Windows computer, type:
ipconfig /release <
Enter>
4. Type
ipconfig /renew <
Enter> .
If the HX200 does not assign an IP address to the installer
laptop, restart the laptop to obtain the IP address. The
assigned IP address will be on the same subnet as the IP of
the connected satellite router LAN port, typically
192.168.0.2 .
5. Execute a ping test to verify an active Ethernet connection
between the HX200 and the installer laptop:
Note: In the following procedure, installer laptop refers to the
computer—typically a laptop—used to connect to and commission
the HX200.
Note: To view all IP configuration commands on a Windows
platform, type
