Connecting to the Ethernet Interface
Appendix C: Connecting to the Ethernet Interface
This appendix describes the connection method to use if you can not connect
to the BelAir100 unit through its radio modules, as when you are configuring
the unit for the first time.
The connection method varies depending on whether your unit is equipped
with an electrical or optical Ethernet interface.
Configuration
Terminal Set-up
The configuration terminal can be a desktop or laptop PC configured to
communicate on the same IP sub-network as the BelAir100.
Required
Equipment
You need a no. 2 Phillips screwdriver to access the unit’s connectors.
If your unit is equipped with an electrical Ethernet interface, you need a
cross-connect RJ45 Ethernet cable. If your unit is equipped with an optical
Ethernet interface, you need:
• a media converter; such as the McBasic TX/FX from IMC Networks
• a single mode fiber cable with dual-LC connector at one end and a
connector at the other end suitable for your media converter
Refer to Figure 14.
