4 Operating Instructions

The Compact RDMS™ Telemetry Receiver-Combiner can be operated through the web-based browser interface.
The browser interface is capable of configuring, maintaining, and monitoring multiple receivers within a network.

4.1 Power-on Operation

The 3

rd

Generation Compact RDMS™ Telemetry Receiver-Combiner contains a built-in web server. The receiver’s

browser-based graphical user interface enables configuration and monitoring of one, or multiple, RDMS™ units on
the user’s network. While the Browser Interface works with most modern browsers, the latest version of Firefox or
Chrome is recommended. Quasonix recommends running Firefox in Private mode or disabling caching to improve
performance. HTML5 compatibility is required. The Browser Interface (BI) provides easy-to-read, real-time status
information to the user.

The Browser Interface is laid out intuitively with all primary control and monitoring functionality for Channel 1,
Channel 2, and diversity combiner in one window.

To access the Browser Interface:

1.

Plug a network cable into the CRC via the Ethernet connector. Plug the other end of the cable into either a
network or PC on the same subnet as the CRC. Ensure that no other device on the network has the same IP
address as the CRC.

2.

Apply power to the CRC via the Power connector. Wait approximately 2-3 minutes before attempting to
communicate with the CRC.

3.

Open a browser on a PC on the same Ethernet network.

The rack has an IP address assigned to it when the user sets it up. If it is static, the user must provide an IP
address. If it is dynamic, the network assigns an IP address to the RDMS™. The operator needs to know
this IP address.

The CRC has a factory default IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

4.

Type the IP address into the browser as:

http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

where the X’s represent the IP address of the receiver.

The main Browser Interface web page displays in the browser window and the user has control of the receiver.

For issues that occur during installation, call Quasonix Technical Support at 513-942-1287.

4.2 Reset IP Address to Default

The CRC has no user interface other than the Browser Interface. If the IP address of the CRC is lost or forgotten,
there is no way to look up the IP address; instead, the only way to regain access to the device is by resetting the IP
address to its default setting—192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

A custom-made MDM-25 connector is provided with the CRC for resetting the IP address to its default. Figure
7shows a picture of this connector.
