SECTION INTRODUCTION

This section describes the procedures required to turn up the MDR-8000 Microwave
Digital Radios after installation.
This provisioning part of the section describes provisioning options available with the
MDR-8000 software application. Provisioning allows for the definition, editing, and storing
of specific functions. The MDR-8000 provides the ability to provision equipment and facili-
ties through a series of Windows™-based screens and messages. The Provisioning menu
lists equipment and functions which may be provisioned. You should use only those provi-
sioning screens that are applicable to your radio.
