3.0: SETUP AND ACTIVATION
The setup of a particular system depends upon the configuration. However, the following general
guidelines may be used for most systems. Further instructions can be found in the product's hardware
and Discover software manuals.
3.1 Unpacking and Inspecting
Carefully unpack the Starmux IV and check the packing list to ensure that all items are present. If any items

shipping, do not install them. Instead, contact EdgeTech for further instructions.
Save the original packaging that the system came with, as these containers can and should be used when
the system is not used for extended periods of time.
3.2 Installing the Starmux IV
The Starmux IV in any configuration should be located and set up in a dry, sheltered environment that is
protected from weather and water spray. All configurations require an environment where the
temperature is consistently between 0–45°C (32–113°F) and humidity no greater than 90%. Avoid areas
of direct sunlight, especially in tropical environments, as heat buildup could damage the equipment, and
glare could hinder the user's ability to see the LCD and status indicators.
The Starmux IV in any configuration should be physically located in an area that provides unimpeded
access and is within the physical and electrical limits of the network, device, and tow cabling and power
source it is attached to. Please avoid severe bends, particularly with the tow cable. The Starmux IV should
also be located in a place that allows users to communicate directly with the deck crew handling the
towfish.
If mounting a Starmux IV on a 19-inch rack, ensure that there is ample room behind the rack for connecting
the cables. Support the rack's components using appropriate mounting brackets and secure the front
panels using standard 19-inch rack front panel mounting hardware. A drawing with dimensions and
weights can be found in the
M
D
section of this manual.
