Connect to the GUI using the default IP address (10.0.0.1), and change the IP address
through the GUI interface.
To connect to the radio’s Ethernet port and use the GUI interface, the accessing
computer must match the radio’s IP address subnet. It is therefore necessary to
either change the radio’s IP address through the CLI to match the subnet of the
computer, or change the computer’s IP address to match the subnet of the radio
(such as, a computer IP address of 10.0.0.10 if trying to connect to a radio set to
the factory default IP address of 10.0.0.1).
To configure a radio as Radio A, connect to the GUI and change the configuration, as discussed
in this section.
Make Connections
It is recommended that one radio at a time be configured, on a bench, before taking the radios to
the field for installation:
•
(EX-5r-(x)c only) Terminate the RF connector with a 50-Ohm termination or a fixed
attenuator of at least 20dB (see Terminating the RF Connector on page 25).
•
Apply power to the radio (see Power on page 24).
Do not connect the radios in a back-to-back configuration. If the radios are set to
their factory default settings, both radios are configured as Radio B and cannot
communicate. Both radios also have the same IP address, which causes IP address
conflicts.
The IP address subnet of the accessing computer must match the radio’s IP
address subnet to connect using Ethernet (see Preparing to Connect).
Once connected to the radio using Ethernet, log in to the Exalt GUI.
Log In
Use the following steps to log in to the Exalt GUI.
1.
Open a browser window.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is the recommended browser. Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox
are also supported. If there are issues with your browser, please report it to Exalt Customer
