System Setup
Operator’s Computer Setup
The ACS3000 is controlled from an operator's computer through an Ethernet connection to the LMKVS-CPU.
The LMKVS-CPU may be connected to the operator's computer via a LAN (Local Area Network) or via a
direct connection using an Ethernet crossover cable. A browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape is
necessary to activate the Java applet that manages the ACS3000 LMKVS-CPU. In order to use a browser to
connect to the LMKVS-CPU, the Java Plug-in application must be installed on the operator's computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Minimum system requirement for use of Revision E of ACS3000 software and
Java Plug-in version 1.4.2_05 is Windows 98. Earlier versions of Windows are not supported.
Java Plug In Installation
The Java Plug-in application is available from Andrew and is installed from a CD delivered with the LMKVS-
CPU. After the file is loaded to the operator's computer, execute the program to install the current version.
The current version of the Java Plug-in program is j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe. Execute this program
and follow the setup options. Once the program is installed, the operator must replace the java.policy file
that was created by the installation with the java.policy file available on the CD delivered by Andrew. The
new java.policy file must be copied over the java.policy file in the directory C:\Program Files\ Java\
j2re1.4.2_05\lib\security.
Operator’s Computer IP Address
The LMKVS-CPU and operator's computer IP addresses also need to be set up. If a LAN is used, the
operator needs to set up the Internet connection options on his browser. The operator should contact his IT
manager in order to verify that the LAN to be used is compatible with the IP address assigned to the ACS300
system. If the LAN is not compatible with the default IP assigned to the ACS3000, the operator must create
a single system network to directly connect the operator’s computer with the ACS3000. Once the localized
network is set up, the operator my change his computer IP to an IP compatible to the ACS3000 default IP.
The computer IP address may be changed by selecting the control panel and then the Network and Dial-up
Connection and then the properties on the LAN to reconfigure the operator’s computer IP. Since the
ACS3000 default IP is 192.168.1.76 with a net mask of 255.255.0.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1, the
operator’s computer IP must be set to 192.168.1.x where x is in the range 2 to 254, excluding 76.
If the operator wishes to use the LAN at his site, he may have to change the IP address of the ACS3000 to
make it compatible with his site LAN. The only way to change the ACS3000 IP address is to set up the
single system network as defined above and then telnet into the ACS3000 and execute admin as described
in the next section.
LMKVS-CPU IP Setup
In order for the operator to connect to the LMKVS-CPU, the operator must know the IP address of the unit.
This address will be defined at the factory but can be changed by using telnet to connect to the antenna
controller and executing an administrative function. NOTE: the factory default antenna controller IP address
is 192.168.1.76. Use that address if no other address has been assigned. To change the IP address, bring
up an MS-DOS window then enter telnet 192.168.1.76. Login as admin with the password 'APCadmin'. The
following screen will be displayed.
