2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the sat-nms LFTX/RX Fibre Optical Link. You find a guide how to connect, configure and mechanically mount the equipment below.

Before you start, please first read the Safety Instructions chapter below. It contains some important recommendations to prevent damage from the equipment.

Then, we strongly recommend to do a first setup of the unit on a lab desk before installing it at it's final location. This is mainly for the following reason:

1. To setup the IP parameters, the PC used for configuring and the chassis must either be connected to the same Ethernet hub / switch or must be connected directly with a crossover cable. The initialization program does not work through routers intelligent or network switches.

Hence, the typical sequence of tasks when putting an sat-nms LFTX/RX into operation is as follows:

1. Read the chapter Safety Instructions
2. Set the unit's IP address
3. Mechanically installation of the chassis
4. Connecting the LFTX/RX
5. Configuring the LFTX/RX
