Replacing a Protected Station Faulty Radio
Replacing a faulty radio in a Protected Station can be achieved without disruption to traffic.
Assuming that the primary radio is active and the secondary radio is faulty and needs replacement:
1. Ensure the replacement radio has the same version of software installed as the primary radio. If
necessary, upgrade the software in the replacement radio.
2. Set the RF Interface MAC Address (see ‘Maintenance > Advanced’ on page 141). This MAC address is
present on chassis label.
3. Using SuperVisor > Maintenance > Advanced ‘Save Configuration to USB’ and ‘Restore Configuration
from USB’ operation, clone the primary radio’s configuration to the replacement radio.
4. Configure the replacement radio as the secondary radio and setup the IP address and other protection
parameters (see ‘Terminal > Operating Mode’ on page 85).
5. Set the Hardware Manual Lock switch to make the primary radio active.
6. Carefully remove the faulty radio from the protection switch and install the replacement radio.
7. Power on the replacement radio and wait for it to become standby.
8. Set the Hardware Manual Lock switch to the Auto position.
