D-6 / Appendix D - Radio/Modem Installation Guide

CI-CW MICRO/CW EFM

To install a MDS Transnet OEM Radio onto an Expansion Comm. Module, perform the
following nine (9) steps (referring to Figure D-4):

1. Remove the Expansion Comm. Module from the unit in question (see Figure D1).

2. Grasp the Expansion Comm. Module with one hand. Squeeze both sides of the Cover

Panel (just below the unit’s top) and pull up and away to release the Cover Panel and
EMI Gasket from the PCB (see Figure D2).

Note: If necessary, a small screwdriver can

be used to pry the Cover Panel from the PCB.


3. Install the four (4), F/F Standoffs (item2) to the rear of the MDS Transnet Radio via

four (4), 6-32 x .250” Pan Head Screws (item 3) (through the PCB).


4. Mount the MDS Transnet Radio to the Exp. Comm. Module making sure that the

interface connectors (J11 on Exp. Comm. Module) align. Secure the MDS Transnet Radio
to the Exp. Comm. Module via four (4), 6-32 x .188” Pan Head Screws (item 1).


5. Plug the radio end of the Antenna Cable (item 4) into the MDS Transnet Radio’s RF

Connector.


6. If installing an optional MultiTech Model MT5634SMI Modem, proceed to Section D2.1

prior to installing the Antenna Cable to the Cover Panel; if not, install the antenna end
of the Antenna Cable (item 4) through the EMI Gasket and Cover Panel. Secure the
Antenna Cable to the Cover Panel via the Antenna Cable’s washer and nut.


7. Make sure that Expansion Comm. Module Jumper JP1 is installed, i.e., plugged into the

jumper pins.


8. Snap the Cover Panel onto the Expansion Comm. Module PCB and insert the ECOM

Module into the appropriate Backplane Slot, i.e., Slot 3 or 4.


9. Apply power and test the unit.

D1.1.4 MDS Transnet OEM Radio Configuration Guidelines


To configure a MDS Transnet OEM Radio (installed on an Expansion Comm. Module),
perform the following seven (7) steps:

1. Place the radio into configuration mode by placing Expansion Comm. Module Jumper

JP2 onto pins 1 and 2. This will enable configuration of the radio through Comm. Port 4
for radio on Comm. Port 6 (ECOM1) or through COMM. Port 8 for radio on Comm. Port
10 (ECOM2).


2. Connect a Full Duplex ControlWave Null Modem Cable (see Figure D3) between a PC

and Comm. Port 4 (ECOM1) to configure radio on COMM. Port 6 (ECOM1) or Comm.
Port 8 (ECOM2) to configure radio on COMM. Port 10 (ECOM2).


3. Open HyperTerminal on the PC and set the PC communication port settings as follows:

Bits per second: 19200
Data bits:

8

Parity:
