• From the Command-line interface window, type "ARP -a" (without the quotes), and then
press the Enter key.
• If the LPOD IP address is not displayed in the ARP table, then re-initialize the ARP table by
typing "ARP -d" at the Command-line window prompt. The LPOD IP address should now be
displayed when the ARP table is queried again.
• If the unit's IP address is still not shown and the ping test has failed, then verify the Ethernet
settings of the unit using another remote control interface that is not dependant on the
Ethernet port (e.g., EIA-485, EIA-232, or FSK).
A.4 1:1 Redundancy System Cabling and Installation
Figure A-3 shows the schematic diagram for cabling 1:1 Redundancy applications. For any 1:1
Redundancy System setup, care should be exercised in cable installation:
• Install the cables using the most direct route – avoid all sharp bends.
• Secure all cables with clamps and ties.
• Cable connectors used in outdoor applications – Type ‘N’ connectors and military style (MS)
connectors in particular – must be sealed to avoid moisture seepage. Moisture can seep into
junctions at the plug end of the connector, between the fixed and movable parts, and where
the cable connects to the connector. In the presence of such seepage, signal attenuation
and possible loss of signal can occur. Therefore, seal all cable junctions with a self-
amalgamating tape, such as 3M Type 23 Scotch Self-Amalgamating tape, or equivalent.
For details about the cables used in both Standalone and 1:1 Redundancy applications, see
