SECTION INTRODUCTION

4.1
This section describes the procedures required to turn up the MDR-8000 Microwave
Digital Radios after installation.
This provisioning part of the section describes provisioning options available with the
MDR-8000 software application. Provisioning allows for the definition, editing, and storing
of specific functions. The MDR-8000 provides the ability to provision equipment and facili-
ties through a series of Windows™-based screens and messages. The Provisioning menu
lists equipment and functions which may be provisioned. You should use only those provi-
sioning screens that are applicable to your radio. Refer to the Users Guide section and
applicable DS1/E1, DS3, or OC3 Initial Turnup section on the attached CD for more infor-
mation.

RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE

4.2
Perform the following initial turnup procedures in sequence:
1
Install software on PC.
Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be overwrit-
ten by downloading to the radio controller at initial turnup. Refer to
Maintenance section on the attached CD for procedure to upgrade exist-
ing software.
2
Establish communication between radio and USI computer.
Saving provisioning on disk provides a reference for any future provi-
sioning changes.
3
Provision radio. See Figure 4-1.
The radio has been properly aligned and tested at the factory before shipment eliminating
the need for testing after initial turn-up. The only time testing and/or adjustment is
required is after a maintenance action such as removal and replacement procedure and/or
constant alarms requiring corrective maintenance action. The completed maintenance
action procedure(s) will reference any required test procedure(s).
