2.6 Modulator Checkout
The following descriptions assume that the DMD1050 is installed in a suitable location with
clean, stable DC power. Make sure that DC spikes are not present during initial power up.
2.6.1 Initial Power-Up
New units are shipped with the transmit carrier set to OFF.
The initial field checkout of the modem can be accomplished from the Web Browser or Terminal
Mode. The Web Browser and Terminal Mode has the advantage of providing full screen access
to all of the modem’s parameters, but requires a separate terminal or computer running a
Terminal Program. The modem is configured with the Web Browser enabled.
2.6.2 M&C Web Browser Setup
The Ethernet M&C Interface requires a standard RJ45 Male connector. The Ethernet Interface is
shipped from the factory in an addressable defaulted condition that allows the user to access the
unit. This condition is identified as IP TEST MODE. .
Boot Modes: IPTEST
IP Address Mask: 255.255.255.000
Modem IP Address: 192.168.0.238
Server IP Address: 192.168.000.101

Section 4 for a complete description of the GUI Interface operation and parameters.
Refer to Appendix C and Appendix D for proper setup of the TCP-IP interface and Web Browser
Setup.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the modem’s input DC power is clean, stable and free of spikes.
If the input DC power is of poor quality, it will damage the unit .
Before connecting power to the unit, disconnect the transmit output from the
operating ground station equipment. Communication traffic can be disrupted
by connecting power to a unit when the configuration settings are not known
and may be incorrect.
