Preliminary Test Procedure and Troubleshooting
Prior to performing this procedure, the IP address of the IPNC must be obtained. Note taking
during preliminary testing is crucial to ensure necessary information is gathered to use for
additional testing or if the mobile radio needs to be submitted for repair.
To test mobile radio functionality, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Perform a visual inspection of the mobile radio and its connections. Validate that
all connectors and power cables are in good condition and all chassis screws are
in place.
Step 2 Connect the mobile radio as shown below in Figure 21.

Step 3 Power on the mobile radio and the test laptop. The power supply ammeter must
read 1.0 amp or less with a 13.8 VDC output.
Step 4 At the desktop, run the dial-up connection setup to use Serial Line Internet
Protocol (SLIP) by double clicking on the IPMN_INVADR shortcut.
The IPMN_INVADR dial-up network shortcut displays as an icon on the laptop’s desktop.
If the IPMN_INVADR shortcut is not available on the desktop, consult the Mobile Data
Computer for Communication with the Mobile Radio Installation Guide (IPMN p/n: 516-
80310) for instructions on how to set up the connection.
