Step 1. Preparation
1. Prepare the site before beginning the installation. See Chapter 2, "Site Preparation" in the
MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console Installation and Configuration Manual.
!!
Important: Make sure there is a network access port in each location where a MIP 5000 Gateway
is to be installed. An additional port is recommended for use by service personnel.
2. If required, install the electronics equipment shelves intended to hold the MIP 5000 Gateway units.
3. Consult with the network administrator to determine whether the network uses static or dynamic
IP addressing.
• If static, IP addresses are used to identify gateways and consoles.
• If dynamic, Host Names are used to identify gateways and consoles.
4. Collect the MAC address of each MIP 5000 Gateway to be installed. Use a photocopy of the
Discovery Form on the back of this guide to make a list that identifies which MIP 5000 Gateway is
for which radio channel and what the MAC address is.
• The MAC address (physical address) of each MIP 5000 Gateway appears on a label on the
bottom of the unit.
5. Collect a Host Name (dynamic) or IP address (static) for each gateway.
Note: Each gateway has a default Host Name set equal to its MAC address: 12 hexadecimal digits
(without hyphens). You do not need to set gateway Host Names, unless you want to change their
default values.
• If static addressing is used, get IP addresses for the gateways from the system administrator.
• Write the Host Name or IP address for each gateway on the Discovery Form.
6. On the Discovery Form, write the MAC address (Physical Address) and Host Name or IP address of
each computer on which the MIP 5000 console program is to be installed.
• Click Start > Run, type "command" and click OK.
• In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig /all" and press ENTER.
• Write the Physical Address (MAC address) and Host Name or IP address on the Discovery Form.
• (If there is more than one Physical Address, use the one for the “Local Area Connection” or
consult with the network administrator.)
• The network administrator should be responsible for implementing the assigned IP address or
Host Name on each console computer.
Note: If the console computers are already in service on the network, they already have a Host
Name or fixed IP address. In this case, no further action is required to implement the assignment
of Host Names or IP addresses.
7. If your network uses dynamic addressing, have the network administrator reserve IP addresses in the
DHCP server for all gateways and consoles using the MAC addresses on the Discovery Form.
Step 2. Administration Software Installation
1. Consult with the network administrator to get the user name and password for a network account
with administrator rights for use while installing software on the CSDM and dispatcher computers.
2. Install the CSDM program on a computer in the network. This computer can also serve as a console,
but must be able to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Insert the CD-ROM, select Install CSDM.
• Depending on Windows security settings, security warnings may appear. Click Yes or Run, as
appropriate to continue installation, then follow the installation wizard.
!!
• Record Host Name or IP address of CSDM computer to enter as TFTP Server address during
console installation.
3. Install the Secure Shell (SSH) program included on the MIP 5000 installation CD-ROM.
• Select Install SSH.
• Depending on Windows security settings, security warnings may appear. Click Yes or Run, as
appropriate to continue installation, then follow the installation wizard.
Note: We recommend that you install the SSH program on the same computer as the CSDM program.
Step 3. System Configuration
1. Use the CSDM to configure the system.
• Select Configuration > System > Parameters and enter a Console Configuration Password Note: If your network spans two or more subnets, increase Multicast Time-to-Live (TTL).
• Select Configuration > Console > Parameters to add a Console for each console in
the system.
• Enter MAC Address and Host Name or IP Address for each console, as recorded on the
Discovery Form at Step 1, Task 5.
• Select Configuration > Radio Channel > Parameters to add a Radio Channel for each
MIP 5000 Gateway in the system.
• Enter MAC Address and Host Name or IP Address for each gateway, as recorded on the
Discovery Form at Step 1, Task 4.
• Select Radio Channel features as required, especially features related to jumper settings for
Local and Tone models. See the I/O area of the Radio Channel > Parameters, General tab.
2. Use the CSDM to generate the configuration files for the MIP 5000 system.
• Select Options > Generate Configuration Files and click Generate.
!!
Important: The configuration files must be generated before you can start the MIP 5000 VoIP Radio
Console program.
Step 4. Gateway Preparation
1. Open each Local or Tone MIP 5000 Gateway box that needs to have jumpers set to support a required
feature. Set the jumpers as required using the following tables. Do not remove jumpers S1 or S18.
• Tone defaults: S4, S12, S13, S14, S17, and S18 are IN; S15, S16 are OUT
• Local defaults: S7, S8, S10, and S12 are IN.

2. For each MIP 5000 Gateway:
• Connect gateway serial port (IOIOI) to the COM1 port on a computer using a null modem cable
• Establish a HyperTerminal session on COM1 with 57,600 bps, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit. and no flow control.
• Use the Gateway Startup Menu to set the initial configuration parameters:
• TFTP server address (Host Name or IP address of CSDM computer)
• Gateway addressing type (if your network uses static IP addressing)
• Gateway IP address (if your network uses static IP addressing)
3. If required, fasten each MIP 5000 Gateway unit into its position in the rack unit using mounting clips.
4. Connect the MIP 5000 Gateway units to the network using the Ethernet port ( ).
5. Interrupt the power to the gateway after connection to the network to force a database upload.
6. Connect the radio equipment to the MIP 5000 Gateway units using the Radio port ( ).
Encryption & Takeover are mutually exclusive with all options
except PTT Relay (use S12 with internal ground) and LOBL.
‡
COR Detect & High Speed Mute are mutually exclusive.
**
On a leased line, the Tone Control gateway does not support
PTT Relay, Encryption, COR Detect, HSM, LOBL or Repeat.

Step 5. Console Preparation and Software Installation
Note: Repeat each task in this section for each console.
1. Install any required audio devices at each dispatch position (console), such as headsets, speakers,
and footswitches.
2. Install the MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console program on the networked computers identified
for this purpose.
• Insert the CD-ROM, select Install Console.
• Depending on Windows security settings, security warnings may appear. Click Yes or Run, as
appropriate to continue installation, then follow the installation wizard.
• When prompted to enter the TFTP Server address during installation, type the Host Name or
!!
!!
IP address of the CSDM computer, as recorded in Step 2, Task 2.
Repeat for each console.
3. Use the MIP 5000 Control Panel applet to configure each console computer, if required.
• Specify audio devices (speakers and microphones) and input devices (PTT).
• Enable or disable options like Caller ID and log files, change file locations.
4. Use Control Panel to set Windows Firewall exceptions at each dispatch computer. Exceptions are:
• Console program (MIP5000.exe)
• DCPM program (DCPM.exe)
5. Use Control Panel to set Windows Firewall exceptions at the CSDM computer. Exceptions are:
• TFTP Server program (TFTP Server.exe)
• Secure Shell program (PuTTY.exe)
6. The first time you start the MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console program on each console it prompts you
for an activation code to activate the product license.
• To activate by Internet, enter the Activation Code included with the CD-ROM for each console
position and follow directions to completion.
• To activate by phone, call the number displayed, read the Challenge Code aloud, enter the
Response Code and License Data provided by the support center and follow directions to
completion.
7. Make radio channels available to each console.
• Log in to the console program and select Edit > User Preferences.
• Check Allow layout reconfiguration and temporary supervisor and enter the Console
Configuration Password
• Select Edit > Resources and drag channel resource to one of the available windows.
Important: Make sure that the configuration files have been generated and that the CSDM
computer is running when you start the console program. You can complete activation before
this, but you cannot log in for the first time.
8. At each console, place calls to test TX and RX audio and issue commands to test radio controls on
each radio channel to verify the installation.
