6.0 SITE INSTALLATION GUIDE
This section provides tips for selecting an appropriate site, choosing an
antenna system, and reducing the chance of harmful interference.
NOTE: To prevent moisture from entering the radio, do not mount the
radio with the cable connectors pointing up. Also, dress all
cables to prevent moisture from running along the cables and
into the radio.
6.1 General Requirements
There are three main requirements for installing a transceiver—ade-
quate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct
interface between the transceiver and the data device. Figure 32 shows
a typical Subscriber Unit installation.
NOTE: To prevent Ethernet traffic from degrading transceiver
throughput performance, place the unit in a segment, or behind
routers.
Unable to log in due
to lost Password
The configuration, including the user account passwords for
the unit, can be reset by logging in with a special user account
and entering an authorization key. The authorization key is a
cryptographic key generated by GE MDS for the specific serial
number of the device. The key can be obtained by contacting
GE MDS Technical Services.
Once the key is obtained, it can be entered into the unit by
logging in with username authcode and password authcode.
When logged in, the unit will prompt for the authorization key.
This process resets the configuration of the device to the
defaults. This causes the username and password to be set to
admin and a reset of all operating parameters to defaults.
