To establish basic connectivity between a Base Station and a Subscriber,
start the configuration with the Base Station. The IP address and Device

The frequency defaults to 3662.5 MHz and the bandwidth is set to 3.5
MHz. These default values are sufficient to perform benchtop testing
prior to final installation. Set the frequency and bandwidth to the same
values on the Base Station and Subscriber. If performing the test on a
table, cable the units as shown in Figure 6. The attenuator cables should
be connected to the radio’s TX/RX connectors.
NOTE: The frequency default for the 1800 model is 1815 MHz. For
the 5800 model it is 5800 MHz.
