IP configurations
During the initial configuration it is necessary to setup basic IP parameters. This step is necessary for proper
communication between local and remote side and optionally for ensuring remote access to device from
customer’s network. The relevant IP settings is located in the
IP
GUI section:
•
Primary IP / Mask - IP address assigned to port ETH0 (local device address) with appropriate net-
mask specification. Net-mask value is inserted in form of decimal number which corresponds to numbers in
binary subnet mask presentation. Such net-mask for subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is presented as decimal
number 24. This IP address is used for general management access to the device as well as for internal
management channel which handles the communication between local and remote devices.
•
Gateway IP – the default gateway of the customer’s management network
•
Remote A IP (over rfi1) – the Primary IP address of the remote device
For purpose of the initial configuration leave the other parameters in their defaults.
See all possible IP settings in the IP Page section of this document.

Modem and Radio configurations
As the next step it is necessary to set the basic radio parameters according to the Telecommunication Au-
thority requirements in manner which will be used for the final completion of the link installation.
All radio related settings can be found in the GUI section
Radio
. For initial link operation is necessary to set
a T least these parameters:
•
TX Frequency – The transmitting frequency as assigned by the Telecommunication Authority.
•
RX Frequency - The transmitting frequency of the opposite radio. This value may be automatically
set by the device in case when the radio part has a fixed spacing between Tx and Rx frequency.
•
TX Power Limit – The maximal radio output power
•
Bandwidth – The maximal modulation bandwidth
For purpose of the initial configuration and installation leave other values in their default configuration.
It is also strongly recommend to leave the
XPIC
,
ATPC
and
ACM
functions disabled during the initial link in-
stallation as they can distort the receiving levels through dynamic Tx Power and Tx Modulation adjustments
making the initial RF link setup harder to fine tune and monitor.
During multi channel link installation is recommend to setup and adjust only one channel at a time having
the other channel’s
TX Mute Config
set to ‘
muted
’ state. This way ensures that the link quality indicators
(MSE, RxL) will not be affected by a possible interference from the other channel. When both channels
work satisfyingly separately you can ‘
unmute’
both of them for final adjustments.
Important notice: Never operate the radio link indoor without proper waveguide equipment! Doing so may
result in serious damage of the device and exposing operators to harmful levels of radio emissions.
