protective grounding pin), insert the plug into a grounded mains, 3-terminal
outlet.
Important Safety Instructions
78-4025112-01 Rev H0 xiii
Note: This plug fits only one way. If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the
outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 3-terminal outlet.
Polarized Plug - For a 2-terminal plug (a polarized plug with one wide blade
and one narrow blade), insert the plug into a polarized mains, 2-terminal outlet
in which one socket is wider than the other.
Note: If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 2-terminal
outlet.
Grounding Terminal
If this equipment is equipped with an external grounding terminal, attach one end of

(such as eye loupes, magnifiers, or microscopes) within a distance of 100
mm may pose an eye hazard.
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury! Qualified service personnel may only perform the
procedures in this document. Wear safety glasses and use extreme caution
when handling fiber optic cables, particularly during splicing or terminating
operations. The thin glass fiber core at the center of the cable is fragile when
exposed by the removal of cladding and buffer material. It easily fragments
into glass splinters. Using tweezers, place splinters immediately in a sealed
waste container and dispose of them safely in accordance with local
regulations.
Introduction
This equipment can be provided with an infrared laser that transmits intensitymodulated light and emits invisible laser radiation.
Warning: Radiation
Do not apply power to the equipment if the fiber is unmated or unterminated.
Do not stare into an unmated fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect
light that is emitted from an unterminated fiber.
Do not view an activated fiber with optical instruments (e.g., eye loupes,
magnifiers, microscopes).
Use safety-approved optical fiber cable to maintain compliance with applicable
laser safety requirements.
Warning: Fiber Optic Cables

Configuring the IP Address Through the Front
Panel
The RF Gateway 1 management port IP address can be configured using the LCD
and keypad located on the chassis front panel.
To Configure the Management Port IP Address
1 After the system fully initializes, use the keypad to page down until you see the
mgmt port IP address.
Note: Use the up/down, left/right buttons for navigation and changes. Use the
center button for saving changes.
2 Page down to position the cursor in the IP address field. Use the left/right keys
to navigate the cursor below the numbers you want to change. Use the
up/down keys to make changes. Continue until all numbers are configured as
desired.
3 Use the center key to accept changes and exit the mgmt port IP address field.
4 Page right to find and configure the management port subnet mask and default
gateway. Configure each as desired.
5 Once finished, use the center key to enter and save information.
6 Reboot the RF Gateway 1. The management port IP address is not dynamically
configurable, thus reboot/power-cycle is required after changes.
7 The management port IP address can be validated by checking the configuration
settings on the LCD after reboot.
Note: Alternatively, the operator can attempt to connect to the web GUI at the
new IP address via HTTP after reboot.

Changing Device Settings
The general configuration settings of the RF Gateway 1 are categorized on the
Device Information page. This section provides information on changing the device
settings.
Note: Once a setting is entered and you click Apply, they become active. The
settings must be saved in order to preserve them in nonvolatile memory. Software
version 1.3.11 has an automatic save feature which allows applied database changes
to be automatically saved to preserve them in nonvolatile memory. Saved settings
will be retained after a reboot or power cycle. This rule applies across all RF
Gateway 1 settings.
Configuring the Device Name
To identify the RF Gateway 1, it is recommended that a unique device name be
assigned to the unit.
To Configure the Device Name
1 Navigate to the System/System Configuration page.
