Users Manual

ADDENDUM TO MICROPOD II USER MANUAL FCC Compliance Statements IC Compliance Statements RF Radiation Exposure and Hazard Statement To ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements, this device must be installed in a location such that the antenna of the device will be greater than 20 cm (8 in.) away from all persons. Using higher gain antennas and types of antennas not covered under the FCC/IC certification of this product is not allowed. Installers of the radio and end users of the product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this manual. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet helpful: “Something About Interference.” This is available at FCC local regional offices. Our company is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by our company. The correction will be the responsibility of the user. Use only shielded data cables with this system. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 2 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.

Verify the LED is illuminated GREEN. As soon as power is supplied to the device it will begin a boot sequence. The LED will blink RED during the boot phase. Once the device is booted into normal operational mode the LED will revert back to GREEN. Connecting to the Device over USB You should use a Windows PC that has the Bright Star Engineering CDCECM drivers installed. The drivers provide TCP/IP over USB capability to the Windows PC. Use a USB cable to connect the device to the PC. Once the device is booted you will be able to use an HTTP browser to connect to the device using the following URL: HTTP://172.22.22.22 The device configuration web site will appear. Device Overview LED The device has one LED which is capable of illuminating RED and GREEN. The following table describes the LED behavior when the device is in the designated state or mode. Power On When power is applied to the device the LED will illuminate GREEN for a brief period. BOOT When the system software initializes the LED will illuminate RED and blink at a moderate pace. RUNNING In a normal operating state the LED will illuminate GREEN. Note: If an application is running on the device, it has the ability to alter the behavior of the LED which may result in LED appearing in a differently. ERROR Under error conditions the LED will illuminate RED and blink at a very fast pace. S/W Upgrade During a software upgrade the LED will be illuminated READ and blink at a slow pace. RECOVERY If the device is unable to boot normally, an alternate system software configuration will be used. This is referred to as RECOVERY MODE. When running in this mode the LED will blink, alternating between RED and GREEN in a rapid pace. 3 Configuring Device and Network Settings Using the HTTP Interface Shown below is the main screen for the device configuration web site. The Overview page will provide you with version information for the hardware and software and the device serial number. 4 System Settings You can assign a name to the device that will be shown on the device discovery utility screen in place of the default serial number.
