Mounting Considerations; Dmd15/Dmd15L Initial Configuration Check - Radyne DMD15 Installation And Operation Manual

Installation
Always ensure that power is removed from the DMD15/DMD15L before
removing or installing a UIM. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
equipment.
Should the Power Cable/AC Connector be of the wrong type for the installation, either the cable or
the power connector end should be replaced. The power supply itself is designed for universal
application using from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 1.0 A.

2.3 Mounting Considerations

When mounted in an equipment rack, adequate ventilation must be provided. The ambient
temperature in the rack should preferably be between 10° and 35° C, and held constant for best
equipment operation. The air available to the rack should be clean and relatively dry. The
modem units may be stacked one on top of the other to a maximum of 10 consecutive units
before providing one RU of space for airflow. Modem units should not be placed immediately
above a high heat or EMF Generator to ensure the output signal integrity and proper receive
operation.
Do not mount the DMD15/DMD15L in an unprotected outdoor location where there is direct
contact with rain, snow, wind or sun. The modem is designed for indoor applications only. The
only tools required for rack mounting the DMD15/DMD15L is a set of four rack-mounting screws
and the appropriate screwdriver. Rack mounting brackets are an integral part of the cast front
bezel of the unit and are not removable.

2.4 DMD15/DMD15L Initial Configuration Check

The DMD15/DMD15L is shipped from the factory with preset factory defaults. Upon initial power-
up, a user check should be performed to verify the shipped modem configuration. Refer to
Section 4, User Interfaces to locate and verify that the following configuration settings are correct:
The DMD15/DMD15L Interface Type (V.35, RS-422, RS-232, G.703, etc.)
MUST be selected from the Front Panel BEFORE the mating connectors are
installed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the Universal Interface
Module. Power up the DMD15/DMD15L, select the appropriate interface
type, and then install the mating connectors.
Note: Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) Interface types are dependent upon the customer's
order.
