Configuring the Radios
To configure the network radios, follow these steps.
Use the RLX-IH Browser to display all radios on the network, and then use a
Web browser or SNMP manager to view and change radio settings. The radio
package includes the program CD, power supply, Ethernet cable, and a small
antenna. You must install the antenna later, but it is not needed to get started.
IMPORTANT:
If possible, you should configure all the radios side by side in an office setting and
make sure they link before you try to install them in the field.
To configure the radios in a network:
1
Start the IH Browser (page 14) configuration application.
The PC must have a wired or wireless Ethernet connection configured with a
static or dynamic IP address.
2
Plug in the Ethernet cable with PoE Injector to the RLXIB-IHW-66 radio, wait
a moment for the radio to power up, and then examine the radio's LED
display to make sure the radio is working properly.
3
Assign a temporary IP address: (page 16) Double-click the radio listing in the
RLX-IH Browser. In the next window, click OK to accept the temporary IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
4
Double-click the radio listing again in the RLX-IH Browser to open the Radio
Configuration / Diagnostic Utility in your web browser. Enter "password"
(lower case, no quotes) in the next window and then click Login.
If necessary, you can enter your own password later. For information, see
Change Password (page 57).
5
Set up the master radio (page 17) first, using the Radio Settings window in
the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility.
