Standard models: If radio configuration is unknown, and you do not have access to a
computer and must install the radios immediately, the temporary hardware configuration
key can help to establish a link or perform back-to-back bench testing, by helping to
configure one of the radio terminals to Radio A.
Note: In many cases, the system design will not be identical to the
factory default configuration, and in some cases, these differences prohibit
the installation of the radio. If at all possible, obtain a computer and
configure the radio terminals using the browser-based GUI. See Exalt
Graphical User Interface (GUI) on page 54 for details.

4. Hold down RMT button while applying power.
The LEDs toggle through the boot cycle.
Continue to hold the RMT button until the LEDs stabilize (approximately 45

The -16 models have a DIP switch to allow temporary configuration for Radio A and

Radio Synchronization
The radio synchronization feature improves the performance of Exalt radios operating
in the same frequency band and that are collocated (such as in repeater and hub
configurations). Radio synchronization ties radio systems together to operate off of a
