Make Connections
It is recommended that one radio at a time be configured, on a bench, before taking the
radios to the field for installation:
• Terminate the RF connector with a 50-Ohm termination or a fixed attenuator of at
least 20dB (see Terminating the RF Connector on page 41).
• Apply power to the radio (see Power on page 41).
Note: Do not connect the radios in a back-to-back configuration. If the
radios are set to their factory default settings, both radios are configured as
Radio B and cannot communicate. Both radios also have the same IP
address, which causes IP address conflicts.
Use the CONSOLE port and CLI interface to configure the IP address to match the
accessing computer or connect to the ETHERNET AUX port to the computer’s Ethernet
port.
Note: The IP address subnet of the accessing computer must match the
radio’s IP address subnet to connect using Ethernet (see Preparing to
Connect). Either change the computer’s IP address to match the radio, or
use the CLI to change radio’s IP address to match the computer.
Once connected to the radio using Ethernet, log in to the Exalt GUI.
