6. Order any accessories or optional equipment that you may need. Typical requirements include:
Tools - screwdrivers, nut drivers, etc. (see Parts and Tools, on page 1.12.1 for further details).
Test equipment - digital multimeter.
Peripheral equipment - PC or laptop, LAN/network connection, etc.
If you are using a network connection (as opposed to a direct connection with a laptop),
consult with your network administrator to determine whether the VX transmitter’s network
feature will be enabled. If so, determine whether DHCP will be used. DHCP allows network IP
addresses to be assigned automatically. To use DHCP, you must have a visible DHCP server on
your network. If you are not planning to use DHCP (i.e., your network does not have a DHCP
server or you are connecting directly to a laptop), you must obtain an IP address and netmask
from your network administrator as well as gateway and nameserver(s) as applicable. If more
than one transmitter exists on the LAN, consider port forwarding when commissioning the
transmitter.
7. Terminate the transmitter end of the RF feed line with the appropriate mating connector. VX3 to
VX6 transmitters can be provided with the connectors listed in Table 1.1.1 on page 1-3. The factory
default connector accepts a male 1-5/8 inch EIA connector. An optional 1 5/8 to 7/8 inch adapter is
available.
8. Implement a safety interlock, if required.
9. Prepare to integrate the VX3 to VX6 into your station control circuitry, if required.
10. Train your station technicians and operators on the use and maintenance of the VX3 to VX6.
Selecting a Location for the Transmitter
To ensure that the desired location for the VX3 to VX6 is suitable, perform the following tasks:
1. Ensure that the cabinet in which the transmitter will be installed is able to support the weight of
the VX3 to VX6. See Physical Requirements, on page 1.3.1.
2. Measure the cabinet space to ensure that the transmitter will fit. See
Physical Requirements, on
page 1.3.1
