Prior to Portal start-up the Ethernet cable should be connected between
your PC and the Eclipse IDUspe. Ensure Edge has been powered on for
not less than 90 seconds.
To start Portal double-click the Portal desktop shortcut.
The Eclipse Portal Start up screen is displayed.
Using an Ethernet DHCP Connection
Two procedures are described, one for normal connection where a DHCP server is
enabled on the IDUspe. The other connection process describes access via the
temporary DHCP server function.
• For DHCP server-enabled terminals, the TCP/IP properties window on your Portal
PC must be set to obtain an IP address automatically for the DHCP mechanism to
operate. See
Setting Up A DHCP Ethernet Portal Connection on page 10
.
• If the IDUspe DHCP server function has been turned off, a temporary DHCP server
function can be activated to allow a normal DHCP connection. See
Temporary
DHCP Connection on page 19
.
NOTE:
Where an Edge terminal has had its DHCP server function turned off,
Portal PC access can be established using a temporary DHCP server
connection - or if the IP address of the radio is known, access can
be established by setting a LAN compatible IP address in the TCP/IP
properties window of your Portal PC. If the IP address is not known,
the address auto-discovery mechanism will provide details.
NOTE:
For rules, hints and tips on DHCP server setting and operation, refer
to DHCP Server Function on page 66 .
Normal DHCP Connection: DHCP Server Enabled
