3 INSTALLATION AND SETUP
NOTE
Appendix F contains a quick set up diagrams showing the minimum configuration and commands
necessary to put up a point-to-point link and a point to multipoint network.
3.1 Bench Check Out
It is recommended that an initial check be performed on the bench before a field installation.
For this bench check out you need two AR24027 units. Radio 1 will be configured as the hub and
radio 2 will be configured as a remote. The first approach described below uses the “Ethernet
Console Program” to emulate the terminal across an Ethernet connection. The second approach uses
two terminals connected to the auxiliary port of the radios.
3.1.1 Using the radio Ethernet connection
In order to use the Ethernet connection you need the “Ethernet Console Program” (Econsole)
provided in the CD. See Appendix D for installation instructions for Econsole. Once Econsole is
installed, perform the following steps.
1. Connect the PC Ethernet port to the “To LAN” connector of the Power Inserter Unit of radio 2.
Use an Ethernet crossover cable if connecting the PC directly to the Power Inserter Unit, or use a
straight cable if connecting through a hub.
2. Connect each Power Inserter Unit to the respective AR24027 using a CAT 5 cable as defined in
section 1.
3. Connect each radio Antenna A port (N type connector) to an appropriate 2.4 GHz band antenna
using an RF coaxial cable.
4. Connect the two Power Inserter Units to a power outlet of the appropriate voltage.
5. At the PC open a DOS window and invoke the Econsole program by typing:
> econ
If only one radio is connected to the LAN, ECON will establish a connection with that radio. If
more than one radio are in the same LAN, ECON provides a list of all radios found (see
Appendix D for more detailed instructions on the use of Econsole). Once a connection to the
radio is established, the radio outputs a prompt with the following format:
rmt-nnnnn #>
where nnnnn are the last five digits of the radio serial number. The first three letters may read
hub or rmt. If the radio had previously been configured the prompt will be the radio name.
