1. Introduction
The Modular Mining Systems M/LC radio network provides high-quality, low-maintenance
communications to all mine operating areas. (M/LC stands for “MasterLink
®
Cisco” and is based on an
Ethernet Bridge from Cisco Systems.)
To keep the system working optimally, you can monitor performance reports and graphical displays.
Furthermore, equipment operators will inform you of any system degradation.
This document discusses the following topics:
• how to design an M/LC Repeater Network (i.e. infrastructure). Network design includes hardware
options, coverage issues, details on the 302395 Cisco electronics unit, and all FCC requirements
• how to select the appropriate antenna for each repeater location
• how to conduct a mobile access point relocation, and how to verify radio coverage at the new
location
• how to configure the 302395 Cisco electronics unit using configuration software
