MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console Quick Installation Guide

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.
