Eclipse Edge User Manual
• If you are connected to a stand-alone terminal (no cabled NMS connection to a
co-located terminal or terminals) a green tick will identify the IP address and
terminal name of the connected terminal. Select by clicking on its address line, at
which point the IP address appears on the Connect-to entry line.
• If you are connected to a terminal that is also NMS connected to another
co-located terminal or terminals (terminals are on the same LAN), a green tick
will appear in the address/name line for each terminal. Click to select the required
terminal, at which point its IP address will appear in the Connect-to entry line.
• To log in to the selected terminal, click Connect . At this point the Portal version
installed on the terminal will be confirmed at the bottom of the window, and
status and progress indicators indicate the connection process. Refer to
Connection Process on page 21
.
• If the terminal has been configured for access security a username and password
window will appear at this point. Refer to
Entering a Username and Password
on page 22

NOTE:
For a new-from-factory IDU that is not fitted with a V.24 port, the
default DHCP server uses an address range of 169.254.2.1 to
169.254.254.255 and a netmask of 255.255.0.0
Temporary DHCP Connection
This procedure applies to an Edge terminal that has had its DHCP server function
turned off. A temporary DHCP server function is enabled using the front panel IP
Reset switch to allow Portal PC connection.
The temporary DHCP server is designed to provide user access to a terminal so that
the DHCP server function can be turned back on, or to learn or reconfigure the IP
address of the terminal. Note that if you simply need to learn its IP address, the
automatic address discovery mechanism will provide this information.
Where DHCP log-in is attempted on a radio that is not configured as a DHCP server,
a communications error message is displayed.
Follow this procedure to enable a temporary DHCP server in the connected terminal:
1. Ensure your PC is configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Connect your PC to the Eclipse 10/100Base-T NMS port of the terminal, and check
that the terminal has been powered on for not less than 90 seconds.
3. Turn on the temporary DHCP server by pressing and holding down the front-panel
recessed reset button until the IDU and ODU status LEDs go solid orange, and then
release the button.
• The orange LED state requires the button to be held down for 5 seconds and
released before 10 seconds .
• When released during this period the LEDs change to orange flashing, to signal
that the temporary DHCP server is enabled. This enabled state is held for 5
minutes, during which time the LEDs will continue to flash orange.
