From a software perspective, this selection takes place on the
Manual Commission screen (Figure 5 on page 17).
CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect a radio cable while the IDU is
powered on; this action may result in damage to the BUC.
CAUTION
Caution: The transmit and receive cable connectors must
be securely tightened.
• Make sure each connector is properly aligned
(not cross-threaded).
• Finger tight with no connector play is adequate.
Note: The satellite router may operate correctly when first
installed even if the transmit and receive cable connectors are not
adequately tightened. However, problems could develop later.
Therefore, correct operation of the satellite router is not an
indication that the cables are adequately tightened.
Select a location for the satellite router that accommodates all
required cable connections, including the power source.
Using Figure 3 as a reference, connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Place the satellite router in the desired installation location.
CAUTION
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the
satellite router near heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, ovens, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
• To ensure ventilation and prevent overheating, leave at
six inches of space between the front and rear panels of
the satellite router assembly and any adjacent equipment
or structure. Ventilation is necessary to avoid
overheating.
2. Connect the installer PC to the satellite router with an
Ethernet cable. Make sure no Ethernet routers or switches are
currently connected between the satellite router and the
installer PC.
