Important information to read before installation
Warning: PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Prior to installing or using this device, consult with a professional installer trained in RF
installation and knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes,
safety, channel, power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for the
intended country. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and
use comply with local safety and radio regulations.
Cabling: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for
your given region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements, use
shielded Ethernet cables.
Country of use: Some versions of the unit require the installer to select the country of
operation during set up. Once the country has been set, the unit will automatically limit the
available wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the selected country. Incorrectly
entering the country may result in illegal operation and may cause harmful interference to
other systems.
Safety: Take note of the following safety information during installation:
• If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be
sure all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• Network cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (caused by
lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
• Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
• This product does not have a power switch. It is powered-on when it is plugged into a
power source.
• This product and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the
same building (except for outdoor models), including all PoE-powered network
connections as described by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Installation
The MSM750 can be mounted in any 19-inch rack using the provided mounting brackets. It
is recommended that you mount the MSM750 only after performing all procedures in this
Quickstart.
Initial configuration
This procedure describes how to perform the initial configuration of a factory-default
MSM750, enabling you to establish a wired connection through the MSM750 to the Internet.
The MSM750 is managed via its web-based management tool using at least Microsoft
Internet Explorer 7.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.
Note: Do not power on the MSM750 until directed.
A. Configure the management computer
1. Configure your computer to use a static IP address in the range 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Set the default gateway to
192.168.1.1, and DNS server to 192.168.1.1.
For example to do this in Windows XP, select Control Panel > Network Connections >
Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties.
B. Make these connections
1. Disconnect any cable from the LAN port on your computer, and disable any wireless
connection.
2. Connect the MSM750 LAN port to the LAN port on your computer.
3. Connect the MSM750 Internet port to a network with Internet access or to the PC port of
a DSL modem or equivalent.
