User's Manual

The steps below contain the essential information needed to place the OEM trans-
ceiver in service. Because the transceiver is designed for use in other pieces of
equipment, these steps assume that prior testing and evaluation have been
conducted with the host device. If not, please refer to “EVALUATION DEVELOP-
MENT KIT (P/N 03-4053A01)” on Page 75 for interface wiring and configuration
details.
1. Mount the transceiver module using the four holes provided.
• If possible, select a mounting location that allows viewing the status LEDs and
provides ready access to the antenna connector.
• Use standoff hardware to secure the board to the host device.
• When mounting the board, use care to align the transceiver’s 16-pin header
connector with the mating pins in the host device.
2. Connect the antenna system to the transceiver
• Use only with antenna/feedline assemblies that have been expressly tested
and approved for such service by GE MDS.
• Use a matching connector to attach the antenna to the transceiver.
• For best performance, antennas should be mounted in the clear, with an
unobstructed path in the direction of desired transmission/reception.
3. Apply power and observe the LEDs for proper operation. The LED
command must be set to ON (LEDS ON).
After 16 seconds…
• The GP LED should be lit continuously
• The DCD LED should be lit continuously—if synchronization with another unit
has been achieved
• The Remote radio(s) should be transmitting data (TXD) and receiving data
(RXD) with its associated station
LED Indicator Descriptions
LED Name Description
RXD (CR3)
Receive Data
Serial receive data activity. Payload data from con-
nected device.
TXD (CR4)
Transmit Data
Serial transmit data activity. Payload data to con-
nected device.
DCD (CR5)
Data Carrier Detect
Continuous—Radio is receiving/sending synchro-
nization frames
On within 10 seconds of power-up under normal
conditions
GP (CR6)
General Purpose
• Continuous—Power is applied to the radio; no
problems detected
• Flashing (5 times-per-second)—Fault indication.
See “TROUBLESHOOTING” on Page 59
• Off—Radio is unpowered or in Sleep mode
