9.3 Table-Top Test Setup
It may be convenient to set up table-top network that can be used to
verify the basic operation of the MDS iNet 900 transceivers and give
you a chance to experiment with network designs, configurations or net-
work equipment in a convenient location. This test can be performed
with any number of MDS iNet 900 radios.
To simulate data traffic over the radio network, connect a PC or LAN to
the Ethernet port of each radio. One of the MDS iNet 900 transceivers
in this mini-network must be set to the Access Point Mode for proper
operation.
NOTE: It is very important to use a "Network Name" that is different
from ones currently in use in your area during the testing
period. This will eliminate unnecessary traffic on the existing
network while you become familiar with the MDS iNet 900
transceivers or evaluate variations of unit operating parame-
ters.
Use any convenient antenna that can be connected to the transceiver's
TNC connector. You may purchase a flexible one-quarter wavelength
antennas from Microwave Data Systems. (P/N xx-xxxxAxx)
