DATARADIO VIPER QUICK START
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
It is easy to set up a Viper network to verify basic unit operation and experiment with
network designs and configurations.
It is important to use a network IP subnet address different from others currently in use in
your test area. This will eliminate unnecessary disruption of traffic on the existing network
while you become familiar with the Viper.
INSTALL THE ANTENNA
An RX/TX antenna is required for basic operation. For demo units only, connect the antenna
as shown in Figure 3.1 to provide stable radio communications between demo devices.
Figure 3.1 -Demo Antenna Assembly
Note:
It is important to use attenuation between all demo units in the test network to reduce the
amount of signal strength in the test environment.
PC LAN SETUP
On a PC running MS-Windows with an existing LAN connection, connect to the Ethernet
input of the Viper and complete the steps in section 3.3.1
