QUICK START GUIDE
Below are the basic steps for configuring a Protected Network Station. Detailed instructions are given in
"INSTALLATION" on Page 6.
1. Install transceivers (if not already present)
• Remove chassis cover.
• Remove the transceiver mounting plates.
• Mount the transceivers to the plates. Secure transceiver/plate assemblies to chassis. (Note that MDS
iNET/iNET-II and entraNET radios are stacked, but Mercury radios are installed side-by-side.)
• Connect internal cabling between transceivers and the Switchover Logic Board. (See "Internal
Cabling Arrangements" on Page 10.
2. Remove top cover plate and connect the internal back-up battery (if equipped). Re-install the
top cover.
• Units are shipped with the battery disconnected.
• Use care not to short the battery terminals.
• After the unit is powered up, allow several hours for the battery to fully charge.
3. Connect external wiring
• Connect chassis ground stud to facility's Earth ground.
• Connect antenna feedline(s), data interface cabling, input power, and any alarm devices. (These
steps are explained with more detail in "External Connections" on Page 17.)
4. Program transceivers
• Programming can be performed with a PC terminal connected to the appropriate Data I/O connector
on the rear panel
• Consult transceiver manual(s) for programming details
5. Apply primary power
• Observe proper input voltage and polarity
• Verify that power supply has enough current capacity to power the chassis.
6. Select the active transceiver
• Set the front panel RADIO SELECTION Switch to A (Transceiver A, no auto switchover), B (Trans-
ceiver B, no auto switchover), or AUTO (automatic switchover)
7. Verify proper operation
• Observe LEDs on transceivers
• Refine directional antenna headings for maximum signal strength
