QUICK START GUIDE
Below are the basic steps for installing the transceiver. Detailed instructions are given in INSTALLA-
TION on page 24 of this guide.
1. Install and connect the antenna system to the radio
¥ Use good quality, low-loss coaxial cable. Keep the feedline as short as possible.
¥ Preset directional antennas in the direction of desired transmission.
2. Connect the data equipment to the radio s INTERFACE connector
¥ Connection to the radio must be made with a DB-9 Male connector. Connections for typical systems
are shown below.
¥ Connect only the required pins. Do not use a straight-through RS-232 cable with all pins wired.
¥ Verify the data equipment is configured as DTE. (By default, the radio is configured as DCE.)
3. Apply DC power to the radio
¥ Observe proper polarity. The red wire is the positive lead; the black is negative.
4. Verify proper operation by observing the LED display
¥ Refer to Table 4 on page 32 for a description of the status LEDs.
¥ Refine directional antenna headings for maximum receive signal strength using the RSSI command.
