Step 1 – Mount the Transceiver
Step 2 – Install the Antennas
Step 3 – Measure & Connect Primary Power
(10–30 Vdc)
Step 4 – Review the Transceiver’s Configuration
Network Name
—Unique name for each radio network. Required for
Remotes to associate with the Access Point. (Default name is
MDS-Mercury
.)
IP Address
—Must be a unique number to allow for IP access
through the Ethernet Port.
NOTE: A unique IP address is essential to access the web browser-based
Management System.
RF Output Power
—Adjust as necessary for regulatory compliance.
Username/Password
—Used for remote access and some Management
System features. (Username and Password default =
admin
)
Step 5 – Connect the Data Equipment
Connect the data equipment to data port(s):
• LAN—10/100BaseT Ethernet-compatible equipment:
Ethernet PLC (Crossover cable); Ethernet switch (Straight-Through)
• COM1—RS/EIA-232 compatible equipment (Crossover cable to serial
PLC/RTU)
tep 6 – Check for Normal Operation
Observe the transceiver LED status panel for the proper indications. In a normally operating system, the following LED indications s
hould be seen within 30 seconds of power-up:
WR—Lights continuouslyL
AN—On or blinks intermittently
LINK— On or blinks intermittently (Remotes: if associated)
U se PING command to test basic data link integrity between Access Point and Remotes.
I f the PING command is successful, connect the RTU/data equipment to the data port and verify normal operation.
I f the LINK LED on Remotes is not on after 2 or 3 minutes, the unit has failed to associate with the Access Point. It may be necessary t
o reposition or redirect the radio’s antenna for better reception/signal strength. Check also GPS antenna system.
C heck connected data equipment for normal operation.
