3. GETTING STARTED: QUICK SETUP AND INITIAL CONFIGURATION
These instructions allow you to setup a Viper SC+ so you will be able to verify basic unit operation and experiment with
network designs and configurations. To eliminate unnecessary disruption of traffic on the existing network while you
become familiar with the Viper SC+, you should use a network IP subnet address that does not overlap with subnets
currently in use in your test area.
3.1. INSTALL THE ANTENNA
An Rx/Tx antenna is required for basic operation. For demo units only, connect the antennas as shown in the following
figure to provide stable radio communications between demo devices.
Figure – 16 Demo Antenna Assembly
Note: It is important to use attenuation between all demo units in the test network to reduce the amount of signal
strength in the test environment.
3.2. MEASURE PRIMARY POWER
Primary power for the Viper SC+ must be within 10-30 VDC and must be capable of providing a minimum of:
10 W supply for Tx at 1 W
40 W supply for Tx at 5 W, or
60 W supply for Tx at 10 W
Viper SC+ Demo kits include a power supply with spring terminals. Observe proper polarity when connecting the cables
to the power supply. The white wire must be connected to the red wire or B+ supply. See the following figure.
