In that respect, all of the considerations of Chapter 3, Chapter 17 and Chapter 18 of the
use Manual apply to the GSU.
It may be configured using the regular RADWIN Manager or Telnet.
Preparing the GSU for Use
Use the method of Chapter 19, Preloading an ODU with an IP Address to change the IP
address from the default (10.0.0.120). In the example screen captures below, we use
192.168.222.20 with Subnet Mask 255.255.252.0.
Mounting the GSU
Mount the GSU and antenna. Ensure that its ODU port connected to its PoE device and the
HSS cable is connected to the HSS unit as shown. The external LAN port of the PoE device is
connected to the managing computer. If you are accessing the GSU through a network it is
essential that you use the IP preloading method. The default IP address may be inaccessible
