QH Hot Standby Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This document describes the seven key steps required for connecting and configuring a single QH arrangement.
Step 1 - RF and DC power connection
Connect the DC power and Antenna ports following the connection diagrams shown in the QH Quick Reference Guide section.
If antennas are not available, terminate the radios antenna ports with a suitable load or attenuator.
Do not apply DC power to the hot standby arrangement at this stage.
Step 3 - Apply DC Power
Ensure that the radio select switch on the hot standby controller is switched to Radio A.
Apply DC power to the hot standby arrangement, allowing up to two minutes for the radios to power up.
Once the hot standby arrangement is powered up (indicated by a solid green LED state on the pwr LEDs), ensure that the
HSC radio select LED for Radio A is illuminated amber. This indicates that Radio A is forced online.
Step 4 - Start Web Browser on your PC
Ensure that each QB radio is in factory default state. This is done by depressing the hidden factory default button on the front
panel of each QB for 5 seconds. Allow up to three minutes for the factory default process to complete.
Connect your PC Ethernet port to the ETH 2 interface of Base A. Verify that your PC can communicate with Base A by
performing a ping test. The default IP address of a Q data radio is 192.168.2.15.
Start a web browser and insert the IP address of the radio into the URL. In this case, type “192.168.2.15” and the
configuration page should now be displayed in the browser.
Further details on factory default and WEB browser connection can be found in the QB Quick Start Guide.
Step 2 - Interface Connections
Connect the interface cables following the diagram below (leaving the QB interconnecting cable [ETH3-ETH3] disconnected).
