Mounting Considerations; Dmd2050 Initial Configuration Check - Radyne DMD2050 Operation Manual

DMD2050 Universal Satellite Modem

2.3 Mounting Considerations

When mounted in an equipment rack, adequate ventilation must be provided. The recommended
ambient temperature in the rack should preferably be between 10° and 35°C, and held constant
for best equipment operation. The air available to the rack should be clean and relatively dry.
The modems may be stacked one on top of the other to a maximum of 10 consecutive units
before providing one (1) RU of space for airflow. Modems should not be placed immediately
above a high-heat or EMF Generator to ensure the output signal integrity and proper receive
operation.
Do not mount the DMD2050 in an unprotected outdoor location where there is direct contact with
rain, snow, wind or sun. The only tools required for rack mounting the DMD2050 are four (4)
customer supplied rack-mounting screws and the appropriate screwdriver. Rack mounting
brackets are an integral part of the front bezel of the unit and are not removable.

2.4 DMD2050 Initial Configuration Check

The DMD2050 is shipped from the factory with preset factory defaults. Upon initial power-up, a
user check should be performed to verify the shipped modem configuration. Refer to Section 4,
User Interfaces to locate and verify that the following configuration settings are correct:
The DMD2050 Interface Type (MIL-188-114A, G.703, etc.) MUST be selected
from the Front Panel BEFORE the mating connectors are installed. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the Universal Interface Module. Power up
the DMD2050, select the appropriate interface type, and then install the
mating connectors.
Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) Interface types are dependent upon the
customer's order.
