1.6.3 General Radio Configuration
Note: If possible, you should configure all the radios side by side in an office
setting and make sure they link before you install them in the field. If feasible, it
would be even better if you could set up the entire system in the office and make
sure your equipment communicates properly through the radio network.
Important: If the radios are close enough to each other that their received signal
strength is greater than -40dBm, performance may be degraded. Disconnect
antennas from radios during bench testing, or move the radios further apart from
each other.
Configure the radios themselves after the network is designed. Radios are
configured ONE AT A TIME USING THE CONFIGURATION PC.
Use the specified cable (page 38) and connect the radio to an Ethernet switch or
hub (gray cable) or directly to the Configuration PC’s Ethernet port (red cable).
Access the Radio Configuration dialog box to set network-specific parameters
for each individual radio. Starting from the ControlScape FH Main Menu, select:
 Configure
o Modify (the network by name)
The Graphical Layout Screen is displayed. There are two different methods of
bringing the dialog box up from the screen:
 double-click the icon of the radio to be configured,
OR
 select the icon of the radio to be configured by selecting it with a single
left-click of the mouse and then choose the following menu items:
