9500 MXC CT Log-in
The INU and INUe include Ethernet and V.24 front-panel 9500 MXC CT PC
(NMS) ports.
For Ethernet (10/100Base-T NMS port) there are two connection options:
• Direct addressing using the CT PC TCP/IP properties window to set a LAN
compatible address on your PC, which requires knowledge of the IP address of
the connected INU/INUe. It is the default
Ethernet connection mechanism for
an IBNU/INUe.
• DHCP server connection, where a server function in the INU/INUe provides an
IP address to the CT PC client. This option does not require knowledge of the
IP address for the connected radio.
For a V.24 connection, knowledge of the IP address for the connected INU/INUe
is not required.
For information on CT PC connection, Refer to Volume IV, Chapter 2.
To enable CT access on a new (unconfigured) INU/INUe a V.24 connection is
required at the outset. Once connected, an IP address can be configured, from
which point Ethernet access can be used. All INU/INUe installation kits includes a
V.24 cable.
An Ethernet connection is recommended as it provides a much faster connection
and running speed, compared to a V.24 connection. Ethernet must be used for
remote-end and network-wide access.
