5.5.4 Powering Up

Prior to powering up the OS-Gemini, a computer with web browsing capabilities should be

conﬁgured with an IP address of 10.10.10.n and subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 where n is any value

between 1 and 254 but excluding 10. If the default address of the unit 10.10.10.10 clashes with

an address you are already using on your LAN, or you are not sure, you should set up an isolated

LAN. As the LAN connection presented at the IDU has a default conﬁguration as a hub/switch

(and auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X cross over is employed).connection can be made directly to the

computer using a standard CAT 5 patch cable.

The unit to be conﬁgured can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://10.10.10.10/.

If operating both OS-Gemini units on the same LAN for conﬁguration purposes do not power up

both units at the same time as this will result in the use of a duplicate IP address.

Tip: The ping command is sometimes useful to determine connectivity between the unit being

conﬁgured and the computer.

Each unit can now be conﬁgured with an operational IP address within your LANs IP address

range using the IP conﬁguration web page described in section 6.3.2 “Install Pages” ﬁgure 20.

Tip: Should you lose track of the IP address during this process, the unit can be reset to the

factory settings of 10.10.10.10 by following the reset procedure described in section 1.3.2

“The Indoor Unit (IDU)”.

5.5.5 Aligning the ODUs

The following is a description of the steps taken to establish a radio link between the two units

forming the bridge and align the units for the best signal strength.

Step 1: Mount the ﬁrst unit in its target location.

Step 2: Power up the unit.

Step 3: Connect to the unit using a web browser.

Step 4: Using the installation web pages described in section 6.3.2 “Install Pages” conﬁgure the

unit to be the Master.

Step 5: Cycle the power on the Master unit to reset the unit and enable as Master.

Step 6: Point the Master unit in the direction of the other (Slave) units target mounting position.

Step 7: Tighten the units mounting bracket.

Step 8: Mount the second unit in its target location.

Step 9: Power up the unit.

Step 10: Connect to the unit using a web browser.

Step 11: Using the installation web pages described in section 6.3.2 “Install Pages” conﬁgure the

unit to be the Slave.
