1. Power up a device.
Connect power cable/adapter and power up a device.
2. Connect Ethernet cable.
Many devices support auto MDI-X capability, where a patch (straight through) cable can be used in place of a crossover cable.
3. Connect RF input signal.
Connect RF input signal from the transmitter output (AVQ1020/AVQ1022) or an aerial antenna (AVQ200).
Note: We recommend measuring the input power to ensure that the signal is in the accepted range as defined in the datasheet. Use external attenuators to adjust the input power. It is recommended using a common to the transmitter and AVQ1020/AVQ1022 10MHz reference source for obtaining accurate Frequency and Timing Measurements.IMPORTANT! AVQ1020 and AVQ1022 in TXout mode do not have any filtering circuitry at the input. The units are designed to sample the signal directly at the transmitter output where only the signal of interest is present. Otherwise, any adjacent or mirrored channel will be captured as well.
4. Setup a computer.
Setup a computer to communicate with the unit.
The device is preprogrammed with the following default network settings:
- IP Address: 192.168.254.254
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.254.1
Note: Please, make a note of the original Network Settings in your computer in order to restore them after the device is set and connected to the company’s network.A computer needs to be set to match the unit’s subnet. For Windows, open Network Connections (Control Panel > Network Connections) and adjust IPv4 properties of the Ethernet adapter.
For MacOS, choose Apple Menu > System Preferences, then click Network and select Ethernet adapter.
We recommend using the following settings:
- IP Address: 192.168.254.100
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.254.1
5. Use a web browser.
Use a web browser to open the main page by entering http://192.168.254.254 in the address bar.
Avateq recommends using the latest stable releases of Chrome or Firefox web browsers.6. Switch to the Control Panel by clicking
