Network Setup
If you wish to remotely control the transmitter via a network or directly through a laptop,
configure your network parameters as follows:
1. Verify that the networking (DHCP enable or disable) decisions outlined in Section 2
“Preparing for installation” on page 2-1 of the Pre-Installation Manual have been made.
To use DHCP, you must have a visible DHCP server on your network. If you are not
planning to use DHCP (i.e., your network does not have a DHCP server), you must
obtain an IP address and netmask from your network administrator as well as gateway
and nameserver(s) as applicable.
2. From the AUI, navigate to the
Menu
->
User Settings
->
Network Settings
screen.
3. Ensure your network or laptop is connected to the
LAN1
connector on the SBC (see
Figure 8.5 on page 8-6 ). Use one of the following two methods, depending on whether
you are automatically (DHCP) or manually (static) assigning an IP address:
– If your network has a DHCP server and DHCP is set to ENABLE (factory
default), IP addresses will be automatically assigned. Verify this has occurred by
viewing the IP Address and Netmask address sub-menus (Gateway and Nameserver
addresses are optional; view as applicable). The MAC Address field cannot be
modified.
– If your network does not have a DHCP server or you wish to assign static IP
addresses (i.e., direct connection with a laptop), set DHCP to DISABLE. Enter the
appropriate addresses in the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway and Nameserver sub-
menus, as applicable.
4. Once you have established an IP address, you can login to the NX50’s advanced user
interface (AUI), which allows you to remotely control and monitor the NX50. See the
“Operating the transmitter” section of the Operations and Maintenance Manual for
detailed AUI information.
