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.
