Provisioning the EnCOVER VE™ Control Unit
This chapter describes how to set the basic parameters required for operation and remote
management of the Master VCU using the Web GUI. The VCU directly connected to the RF
source automatically detects itself as the master VCU and the VCUs connected to the master
VCU automatically detect themselves as slave VCUs (no special configuration required).
Notes:
1.
The initial configuration of the Master VCU is performed via local connection (using a cross-
cable). After performing the initial configuration and assigning the Master VCU an IP, the
system can be connected, monitored and configured via a remote management connection.
2.
The configuration and management of all of the system units (VCUs and VAPs) is performed
via the Master VCU unit (local or remote connection).
