Chapter 2. Installation and Configuration
on the wireless interface of the PW620. These entries time out in 1 hour.
If you wish to use the same PC to run the AIM application on the both
of the PacketWave 600 units (PW620 & PW610) within the same hour, it
is best to disconnect the PC from the unit and power-cycle it.
Installing the PacketWave 610 - PW610
The installation of the PW610 is similar in many ways to the installation of the PW620.
Many of the input parameters are the same. The biggest difference is that you use AIM to
aim the antenna for the best possible signal. Everything you need is supplied in the AIM
application. You don’t have to guess at the optimal signal level nor do you need expen-
sive equipment. The PacketWave 600 series not only helps you get the best signal, but
also includes standard communication test to insure the equipment is working properly.
To install the PW610 you need to perform the following steps
• Connect the PC and the PW610
• Start the Application
• Choose the Installation Mode
• Fill Out the Configuration Parameters or Accept the Default Configura-
tion Parameters
•Allow AIM to Configure the PacketWave
•Align the Antenna
• Allow AIM to Perform the Installation and Through-put Tests
•
View the Results and Re-align the Antenna if Necessary
• Exit the AIM Application
Connect the PC and the PW610
Connect your PC to the PW610 in the same way you did with the PW620. Follow the exam-
ple of Figure 2-1 on page -3.
Start the Application
If you exited the AIM application, restart it just as you did for the PW620. If you did not
exit the application, click on the Previous button successively until you reach the Authen-
tication Window as shown in Figure 2-2 on page -4. Once on this page, make sure the PC
is connected to the PW610 and click on the Next button. At this point AIM will query the
Aperto unit and determine it is a PW610.
