Quick Start Instructions
Listed below are the basic steps for installing TranSphere TS Wireless transceivers. Refer to
the appropriate sections in the manual for detailed information.
1. Initial Checkout
▪ Set the equipment up in a tabletop arrangement as described in Chapter 2: Tabletop
Setup and Evaluation
.
▪ Follow all steps to ensure proper cable connections and unit configuration. As a
minimum, Access Points must have the following programmed: IP Address, IP
Network identifier, and Radio Network Address. (RF output power and Password
should also be reviewed and set if necessary.) Remote radios normally require only a
Radio Network Address to be set. (Note: The Remote Radio Network Address must
match that of the AP.)
▪ Connect data equipment to the transceivers. Use LAN/ETH ports for Ethernet
systems, or COM2 ports for Serial data systems.
▪ Verify proper exchange of data communications by viewing the LEDs. The following
indications should be seen on the LED panel within 30 seconds of startup:
PWR —Lit continuously
LINK —Lit continuously
ETH
—Lit continuously (unless Sleep is activated)
COM2 —Blinking to indicate exchange of data communications
2. Endpoint Connectivity (PING) Test—for Ethernet Systems Only
▪ For Ethernet systems, verify the link integrity between the Access Point and endpoint
devices connected to Remotes by issuing a PING command from the AP. Below is a
basic setup diagram for the PING test. (Note: Endpoint devices must have a
compatible IP address for this test to work.)
