Use a Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a UTP cable (not supplied, please don’t use a cheap cable here; poor-
quality high-speed data cables are never a good idea!) between the Ethernet port on your AG
and your station LAN switch or hub (switches preferred over hubs). This should be the same
place where your FLEX-6000 Signature Series radio connects to your LAN. Note this LAN
connection can be as simple as a port on a DSL router or as fancy as a standalone Gigabit switch.
AG can be controlled by PCs connected over WiFi to your LAN as long as AG itself is connected
directly to your LAN via a wired connection to an Ethernet switch or hub (switch recommended;
Ethernet hubs will slow down your LAN).

DIP Switch configurations
As of version 4.1.0. DIP switches are no longer used to configure band data sources, ID or group
ID.
Important:
All these settings are now done through the Windows app utility program and the
position of DIP switches 1 through 6 doesn’t do anything.
DIP 7
is used to
reset your
AG config settings to default
and
sets the IP setting to DHCP
(see
Section 9.2 below).
DIP 7
ON
restore factory settings on next power cycle
OFF
normal operation
To reset AG configuration and IP settings follow these steps in order:
1.
remove DC power from AG
2.
move DIP 7 to ON position
3.
turn DC power back on
4.
move DIP 7 back to OFF position
DIP 8
is used to
force your AG into bootloader mode
to enable you to re-upload the firmware
to the device.
This is used when your AG gets bricked (unresponsive) for whatever reason – due to
configuration, power failure in some critical state tetc.
