2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the sat-nms LSM L-Band Switch Matrix. You find a guide how to connect, configure and mechanically mount the Matrix 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 L-Band Switch Matrix' IP parameters, the PC used for configuring and the L-Band Switch Matrix 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 network switches.

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

1. Read the chapter Safety Instructions
2. Set the unit's IP address
3. Connecting the switch matrix
4. Quick start Configuration
5. Mechanically installation of the unit
