CAUTION:Do not connect or disconnect the SPU to RFU Cable with DC power applied. This cable carries DC voltage and accidentally shorting the center pin will blow the fuse in the SPU power supply!

Grounding Notes:Proper grounding is critical to radio operation. Ensure the rack is tied to the facility ground and all rack-mounted hardware is solidly grounded to the equipment rack, either through a rack ground bar or with a separate ground cable connected to one of the ground points provided on the chassis.

Outdoor mounted RF Units (ODU) should be grounded with 6-AWG or larger copper wire to a tower ground point.

This step applies to the Signal Processing Unit (SPU) as well as the indoor mounted RF Unit (RFU). Outdoor RF units (ODUs) receive power from the SPU over the IF cable. SPUs may be powered from either the front or from the rear power connectors - both should not be connected simultaneously.

1. Check the polarity of your supply leads.2. Wire the GND pin of the power plug to facility ground. Do not jumper the GND pin to the return pin of the power plug. This may result in improper grounding and aect operation of the radio terminal.3. With power o, connect positive and negative supply leads to the power plug as shown in the illustration below.

REMEMBER:Always connect the positive pin of the power plug to the positive terminal of the power supply (and negative to negative) regardless of the grounding. Connect the desired supply line to ground at the power supply to determine the system polarity.

4. Use an ohmmeter to verify that no shorts exist between ground and DC points on the power connector.5. Plug connector into SPU or RFU and apply power. Conrm that the SPU power LED illuminates.

Before You Begin

Please have the following parts and tools available before applying power to your Proteus MX terminal:

DC Power Supply providing 20 to 60 volts with negative or positive polarity (+/- 20-60 VDC).

Note: Any power supply or protection device used with Proteus MX must be able to handle an in-rush current 28A for up to 1 ms (- 48V) or 5A for up to 4 ms (24V).

PC or Laptop capable of supporting Proteus Element Manager (EM) or VT100 Terminal Emulation software.

Proteus MX USB flash drive (supplied).

Power Plugs (supplied with radio) Slotted Screwdriver (1/8, 3mm) Power Wiring (16 AWG recommended)

Proteus MX Quick Start GuideThis document will help direct you through the intial power-up and conguration of your Proteus MX radio terminal. Refer to this guide once you have completed the physical installation of the Signal Processing and RF units. For detailed installation instructions, please consult the Proteus MX System Installation Manual - Section 2.

CAUTION:Before applying power to the radio terminal, ensure the IF to RFU/ODU cable is securely connected and the waveguide port at the RFU/ODU is properly terminated to avoid possible shock and exposure to potentially hazardous radiation.

Factory Conguration:

3 Congure Radio

All Proteus MX Radios are tested as working links in the factory prior to shipment. Each radio terminal is congured with standard factory settings that allow basic radio operation, but are not optimized for individual network, routing, or path requirements. MNI recommends that each radio link be completely congured before connecting any data trac or management information from the network.

2 Connect To Radio

Command Line Interface:As an alternative, each terminal has an embedded text-based Command Line Interface shell which can be accessed by a PC through a VT-100 terminal emulation program.

1. Congure the terminal emulation software to connect using the PC serial port selected earlier. If the software requires, duplicate the serial settings from above.

2. Run the terminal emulation software and wait for the radio Login prompt.

Element ManagerMNI recommends using the supplied Element Manager (EM) application to interface with Proteus MX radios. This tool provides a simple-to-use graphical interface for complete conguration, control, and monitoring of any radio in the network.

1. The Element Manager must be installed on a laptop or PC prior to rst use. To do so, follow the instructions found on the USB ash drive included with the radio.

2. After successfull installation, simply double-click the icon to launch the EM. After a brief splash screen, the radio Login dialog should appear.

Logging On to a Radio TerminalTwo log-on identities are available: admin and guest. The admin log-on allows the user to make changes to the radio conguration. The guest log-on allows monitoring terminal operation but does not allow conguration changes.

The Proteus AMT MX Installation Manual, on the USB thumb drive included with each radio terminal, provides additional detailed information on installation and conguration, including: IP addresses, VLAN conguration, integrated loop switching, tributary cross-connect, performance monitoring, and other radio features.

The COMPUTER port on the SPU front panel provides serial access for radio maintenance. The initial connection to the Proteus MX terminal should be made from this port to avoid possible complications arising from factory preset IP addresses. A USB-to-DB9 converter (not supplied) may be required for computers without a DB9 connector. Please refer to the User Installation Manual - Section 2.18 - Table 2-6 for more information about wiring and connector pin-out.

1. Congure one of the PC Serial Ports for: 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, even parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no ow control.2. Connect the PC serial port to the Proteus MX DB9 connector labelled COMPUTER.
