Chapter 19
Preloading an ODU with
an IP Address
Why this is Needed?
All ODUs supplied by Ceragon come pre-configured with an IP address of 10.0.0.120. For use
in a network, the ODUs must be configured with suitable static IP addresses. The method for
doing this under office conditions is set out in Chapter 5.
There are two situations under which ODUs may need to be pre-loaded with an IP address
prior to installation to a link:
• Changing an individual ODU in the field
• Preparing a large number of ODUs in a warehouse prior to deployment in the field,
according to a network installation plan.
This chapter explains how do this.
Required Equipment
The minimal equipment required to pre-load an ODU with an IP address is:
• Laptop computer (managing computer) satisfying the requirements of Table 4-1
• An installed copy of the FibeAir2000 Manager
• A PoE device
• A crossed Ethernet LAN cable
• An IDU-ODU cable
• If you have connectorized ODUs, two N-type RF terminators
Caution
Do not carry out this procedure using a multi homed managing computer
also connected to a network. It will flood the network with broadcast
packets. Further, it will throw any other links on the network into Installation
mode.
