9500 MXC CT to 9500 MXC Connection Options
There are two PC-to-9500 MXC connection options; 10/100Base-T Ethernet or
V.24.
For information on the 9500 MXC CT (CT) PC connection options refer to
Table 2-1. It provides introductory data on:
• Ethernet connection using a LAN-compatible TCP/IP address on your PC.
• Ethernet connection using DHCP.
• V.24 connection.
Table 2-1.
9500 MXC CT PC Connection Options
To enable 9500 MXC CT access on a new (unconfigured) Node/Terminal 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.
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
network-wide access.
PC-to-9500 MXC Connection
Option Description
Ethernet TCP/IP connection Default applies to all 9500 MXC radios.
A TCP/IP Ethernet connection has the following requirements:
• Knowledge of the IP address for each 9500 MXC Node/Terminal to be
logged into.
• Your PC must operate as a device on the NMS LAN of the physically
connected Node/Terminal. As each Node/Terminal has its own NMS router
with a unique IP address, TCP/IP settings on your PC must be changed each
time you
physically connect to a different 9500 MXC Node/Terminal. Refer
to Setting Up Your PC TCP/IP Properties on page 2-6.
Note: For rules, hints, and tips on Ethernet connection to a 9500 MXC NMS
network, refer to Appendix F.
