Installation

 

The CloudSDR ships configured for IQ streaming mode and with DHCP turned on. This mode is the 
most common mode of operation. In this mode, the radio streams the raw IQ stream to the PC where 
software like SpectraVue processes the data.  
Connect the CloudSDR Ethernet port to the router and connect the power cable to the CloudSDR. The 
radio will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. Open SpectraVue and select the CloudSDR Set-
up. The Find button will search for the CloudSDRs present in the network. Select the CloudSDR you 
wish to operate and click OK. Exit the setup menu and start SpectraVue by pressing Start or F12. 
If you need to configure the CloudSDR with a manual IP address or you wish to connect the CloudSDR 
directly to a PC, follow the instructions for the CloudSetup application on the next page.
