Getting Started
This Quick Start Guide is a basic reference for information on setting up your CrewCom system with the minimum equipment required for wireless
communication. For complete operation instructions, see the CrewCom devices' Operating Manuals or the CrewCom Online Help available at https://
plianttechnologies.com/document/Content/Home.htm.
At a minimum, you will need:
•
A CrewCom Configuration File (CCF) - Created via
CrewWare
•
1 Control Unit (CU)
•
Up to 6 Radio Packs (RPs) with charged batteries
•
1 Radio Transceiver (RT)
•
Minimum of 2 headsets to test communication
•
1 Cat 5e (or greater) cable (for CU to RT connection)

Determine if you have a CCF.
Your CU may have been pre-configured with a CrewCom Configuration File (CCF) at the factory or other source—consult the documentation provided
with your system for your specific configuration details, then proceed to Step 2. (If you have no configuration documentation or printed system diagram,
contact the person who provided your CrewCom system for assistance or contact Pliant Customer Support.)
If your CU has not been pre-configured with a CCF (and if you do not have a saved CCF on a USB drive to load to your CU), you will need to install
CrewCom's software application, CrewWare, to create one. Then, you'll load the CCF in Step 4 of this guide. Refer to the documentation provided on
Pliant's website and Online Help for assistance in creating and saving a CCF.
Quick Start Guide
Plan Your Coverage Area
Before installation begins, it is a good idea to plan your coverage area so that
equipment is positioned in the best possible locations. Here are some tips when
planning your coverage area:
•
Map out the site and identify the most critical areas where communication is
needed.
•
Consider cable length limitations during planning. Copper: 330 ft. (100 m).
Fiber: 32,800 ft. (10 km).
•
Locate antennas in open spaces and avoid obstructions (especially metal).
•
If using omni-directional antennas, position antennas in center of coverage
area and as high as possible.
