A unique IP address and subnet are required to access all IP-based man-
agement interfaces (telnet, SSH, SNMP, and Web), either through the
LAN
port or remotely over-the-air.
2.6 STEP 5—CONNECT LAN OR
SERIAL DATA EQUIPMENT
Connect a local area network to the
LAN
port or a serial device to the
COM1
(DCE) port. The
LAN
port supports any Ethernet-compatible
equipment. This includes devices that use Internet Protocol (IP).
Figure 2-3 on Page 25 shows the interface connectors on the front panel
of the transceiver.
NOTE:
The use of shielded Ethernet cable is recommended for
connection to the radio’s
ETH
port. The radio meets regulatory
emission standards without shielded cable, but shielding
reduces the possibility of interference in sensitive environ-
ments, and is in keeping with good engineering practice.
