OVERVIEW

If a modem is installed...
•
Check the modem's configuration switch, if applicable, to verify the modem
configuration. (This applies to 4800 and 9600 bps modems only. Refer to tables
B-1 and C-1 for switch settings.) Is it compatible with the external data
equipment attached to the transceiver? The internal modem configuration is
based on data collected from the customer when the order was placed.
•
Will the external data equipment provide asynchronous or synchronous data?
(This applies to 4800 and 9600 bps modems only.)
•
Will the external data equipment operate with Data Set Ready (DSR)
continuously held high? Most data equipment will, and this line is tied high
inside the radio.
•
Request to Send (RTS) functions as transmitter keyline.
7.
Connect the antenna, primary power and external interface equipment as required to
the transceiver.
8.
Check the transceiver's power output and antenna system VSWR (or reflected
power).
9.
Key the transmitter and optimize transmit and receive signals through refinement of
the antenna heading.
10. Verify basic system operation by establishing data communications between the
remote and the master stations.
This should complete the basic steps in the installation of the transceiver. More detailed
information will follow in this chapter should the user experience difficulties or choose to
make more detailed operational checks.
SURFACE MOUNTING
Using the supplied bracket, the MDS 4310 Data Transceiver can be mounted in any position
inside heated or unheated equipment buildings. For outdoor mounting, the unit must be
mounted in either a customer-supplied weatherproof housing or the MDS 4350/MDS 4355
packaged enclosure. The MDS 4310 die cast package withstands casual water, such as drips,
occasional spills, or condensation, but it is not suitable for continuous exposure to rain or
wind-driven moisture.
There are two mounting footprints that can be used. Choose the one that best suits your
installation situation. See Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for details and dimensions.
The mounting brackets must be fastened to the transceiver
housing with #6-32 x 5/16 inch screws. Longer screws will
penetrate the housing and damage the main printed circuit
board.
