Radio Power-Up
RLX2-IHx series radios power-up when power is supplied to the radio
—there is no
On/Off switch. The Power LED cycles when power is applied. First the Power LED lights
AMBER when power is applied, then the LED goes out for a few seconds during
initialization, and then lights GREEN. This process takes 10 to 15 seconds. Once the
Power LED is green, the radio is booted and operational. Other LEDs on the radio may
become active as well.
Please note the MAC address of the RLX2-IHx series radio, printed on a label attached
to the front of the radio. The MAC address has the form 00-0D-8D-XX-YY-ZZ. For
example, 00-0D-8D-F0-5C-8E. This number uniquely identifies the radio on the network.
You use this number to identify the radio on the network when using the IH Browser.

Using the IH Browser to Configure Radios
This section describes how to use the
RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot Browser
(IH
Browser) to set up RLX2-IHx series radios in a minimal configuration before deploying
them in the permanent installation. See Using the IH Browser to Manage your Radios
(page 122) for detailed descriptions of all the features available in the IH Browser.
3.4.1 Viewing the Radios in the IH Browser
Start the IH Brower: see
Starting the IH Browser
(page 21). If the radio is powered up
and connected, it appears in the IH Browser. Note that the
MAC
address is the same
address as that of the label on the radio. The
List
view (shown in the image below)
displays the RLX2-IHx series radios (or previous generation RLXIB radios, except the
RLXIB-IHN) on the same network as the computer running the IH Browser.
Note: You can perform many common tasks by right-clicking on the radio and choosing a command.
