Horizon Compact Release 1.01.01 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
6.0 Initial Configuration
There are a number of configuration steps that need to be carried out before the Horizon Compact can
become operational. It is recommended that these steps be performed prior to mounting the system on
the tower. These steps relate to:
• radio bands
• frequency channels
• IP address information
Once this information has been correctly entered, the Horizon Compact system is ready for installation
and system alignment.
The Horizon Compact can be configured using Telnet or the Web interface.
Before attempting to log on you must configure the network parameters of your laptop, or PC, so that they
are in the same domain as the Horizon Compact default IP address and subnet mask values.
By default, the IP address of a Horizon Compact system is 192.168.10.100 and the subnet mask is set to
255.255.0.0. Use this IP address to communicate with the unit, using either Telnet or the Web browser. A
complete set of CLI commands is available for use with Telnet (See Appendix A).
For the copper interface, connect your laptop or PC Ethernet port to Port 1 (GigE port) on the Horizon
Compact using a straight through Ethernet cable. For the optical interface, you will need to connect your
PC to Port 1 of the Horizon via an optical switch. By default the management option is set to “inband”,
which will allow management through the Port 1 data port.
Note: If the management interface type happens to be set to “out-of -band”, management through Port 1
(GigE port) will not be possible. In this case connect your laptop or PC to the Horizon Compact via Port 2.
In both copper and optical Horizon variants, Port 2 has a copper interface.
6.1 Logging On
Secure management access to the Horizon Compact is controlled by a user name and password. The
default Super User name is “energetic” and the default password is “wireless”.
Note: The Super User name (and other users) and password can be changed, but it is recommended that
they are not changed until the radio link is properly configured, aligned and capable of carrying traffic.
User accounts can only be changed using Telnet access.
6.1.1 Using Telnet
From the DOS Command Prompt, or from the Windows Run option, type:
telnet 192.168.10.100 and press Enter.
When the Telnet window appears press Enter again to reveal the logon prompt.
When prompted, enter the Super User name “energetic” and password “wireless”.
Successful logging on is indicated by the CLI cursor (->) being displayed.
Note that after 10 minutes of inactivity, you will be automatically logged off the system.
6.1.2 Context Sensitive Help
Full context sensitive help is available for all CLI commands. Type ? followed by a partial command to
return a list of all commands that match the entry, with an explanation as to how each command is used.
Type a command followed by ? to return a list of all variants of that command. See Appendix A – List of
CLI Commands for an alphabetical list of CLI commands.
