3.1 Connecting the NCL1170
1. Attach an antenna or 50-ohm load to the antenna port at the rear of the NCL1170. Do
NOT plug the NCL1170 to the power outlet until you have the antenna or load
connected.
NOTE: To prevent equipment damage, the NCL1170 is factory preset
with its radio transmission capabilities disabled. However, as a
general precaution, WaveRider recommends that you always
connect the antenna or load before connecting to a power
source.

2. Use an RS-232 straight-through cable to connect a terminal to the DB9 console port.
NOTE: You can use any ASCII terminal, such as a single-function
terminal or a computer running terminal-emulation software to
communicate with the NCL1170 through its console port. Use this
port for configuring and debugging only; you do not have to
remain connected through it during normal operation.
