3. Perform a “hard” reboot of the MCED‐100 – Manually power‐cycle the unit via its rear
panel Power On/Off switch (this will not disrupt the uplink carrier).
Upon initial setup or configuration change, it is advisable to verify MetaCarrier operation and
messaging content at the point of reception using an MCDD‐100 MetaCarrier Detection Device.

The MCED‐100 may be monitored and controlled using its HTTP Web Server Interface (for user‐
to‐device control) or via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (for device‐to‐device
control).
Identification information includes:
• Latitude / Longitude – If a GPS antenna is connected or an external GPS receiver’s
EIA‐232 interface is connected to the MCED‐100, the latitude and longitude are
automatically entered. If no GPS device is available, the latitude and longitude may be
manually entered by the user, using the MCED‐100 HTTP Web Server Interface.
• Automatically entered:
o Manufacturer
o MAC Address
o Center Frequency
o Symbol Rate
• Manually entered:
o Operator
o Telephone Number
o Custom Message

For IF operation (50 MHz to 180 MHz), the MCED‐100’s unique CID embedding technology uses
Type BNC connectors for operation.
For L‐Band operation (950 MHz to 2150 MHz), Type ‘N’ connectors are used for maximum
current carrying capability and minimal power loss. The MCED‐100 uses the following to pass
through the unit unaltered:
• DC power for the outdoor electronics
