Field Description
SNMP button
Click this button to open the SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) Agent settings form. Use this form to configure access to
radio network settings through an SNMP agent.
Login Password button
Click this button to change the Login Password for the radio. The
default password is "password". You should change this password,
and keep a record of it in a safe place, to protect the radio from being
reconfigured by unauthorized users.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is a service provided by a server
(typically a router or a firewall) on a local area network. Devices on a network
that supports DHCP can request and receive an IP address from the DHCP
server. RLXIB radios support DHCP; by default, they attempt to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server.
If a DHCP server is not available, the radio will not be able to acquire an IP
address automatically, therefore you must assign an IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway to the radio so that it can communicate on the network.
You can also assign a Static (fixed or permanent) IP address to the radio to
make it easier to identify and configure the radio. Static IP addresses are
particularly useful when configuring radios to serve as Access Points, or for
radios that must be accessible through a firewall.
A detailed discussion of TCP/IP networking is beyond the scope of this manual.

SNMP is a network management protocol that is often used with TCP/IP and

you can change radio settings and view diagnostics in an SNMP manager
application, if necessary.
