<div>Kenny<font size="2">,</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> Thank you for the reply.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> That looks pretty daunting to me. I am not much of a computer guy, and a lot of the terminology looks foreign to me.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> I tried something like that a year or two ago, and
got completely lost; and very frustrated. I could well have also corrupted any
files that were still intact.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> I think I had better just skip the idea of
installing the spare modem for now. Maybe when I am bored and have some
'geek' help, I should try it again.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> Thanks,</font></div>

<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><font size="2">There is probably some programming that should be done, at the very least you should upgrade the firmware in the modem to the current version if it has been offline for several years. I would recommend going through the client setup guide on the HamWAN site. It is straightforward and takes you through all the current recommended processes.</font></div>

<div><font size="2">I have a spare 'Metal 5SHPn' modem, and I am considering replacing the suspect one on my tower. This spare is the original modem that was on my roof, to relay from Baldi to the tower which is part way up the west side of Tiger Mountain. The HamWan on that tower was deactivated as a result of the group moving to a site on top of the mountain. The ham who was using that dish and modem pair was also removed from using HamWan , as a result of the move and deactivation of that tower sector.</font><br clear="none">
<font size="2"><font size="2"> I took a lightening hit several years ago, and immediately discovered I was not able to connect to Baldi ( the only possible connection route from my location). </font></font><font size="2"><font size="2"><font size="2">I found the wall wart POE power supply was fried, and I replaced it, but to no avail, and I have always suspected the modem was damaged in the strike. <br clear="none">
</font></font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"> I have been off-line for several years. Although I have been told the system sees my dish, I have not been able to connect, and I think it might be an issue with the modem.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> Can I just plug in the replacement unit, or is there some programming that will need to be done, for it to be recognized.</font></div>
