Power Connection

The host has a modular DC to DC power supply located on the lower left side of the chassis. The host is powered by 20Vdc to 60Vdc power (nominal 24Vdc 48Vdc).

Computer Connection
In the default configuration, the Craft port has a DHCP server that assigns an IP address to computer that is connected. You should therefore have your network interface configured for DHCP, or configured with static IP address in the same subnet, where the default is 192.168.0.1/24.

Optical Connections
Improper handling can damage fiber optic cables. Do not bend fiber optic more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer.

The receivers specification is -9 to -27dBm. Based on typical fiber runs, theres usually only a few dB of loss, so the 15dB LC attenuator ships with each Host to put the receive level in the optimum receive range.
Alwadi Communications, 2013

Coaxial Cable Connections

The composite forward path RF signal level at the host must be between -25 and +5dBm. Do not connect the forward path cable until the composite forward path RF signal level is measured and amount of external attenuation required is determined.
