• Using IP addressing set in your Portal PC TCP/IP properties window, which
requires knowledge of the IP address of the radio. If this is not immediately
available, it will be normally be indicated by their IP address auto discovery
mechanism. Refer to
Portal IP Address Auto-Discovery Mechanism on
page 16
.
• The temporary DHCP server provides connection using a default IP address and
netmask, which remains active for as long as you remain connected and do not
enable the DHCP server function in the Networking screen.
• A temporary server assignment lease terminates 1 minute after termination of a
Portal connection, or 30 to 50 seconds after the DHCP server function is enabled.
• Temporary DHCP server access would normally only be used/required where the
IDU has had its DHCP server configured to off, which at most installations should
not be the case.
• Under temporary DHCP server access, the normal actions would be to check/
reset the IP address of the IDU, and to re-enable DHCP server operation.
• The DHCP address range check box (to the immediate right side of address range
entry) supports basic checks on the validity of the entered address range. A red cross
is displayed if:
• First IP Address is not a valid host address.
• Last IP Address is not a valid host address.
• IP address is not recognized as an IP address. For example is not of the form
192.168.2.1.
• The first IP Address is not in the subnet.
• The last IP Address is not in the subnet.
• The first IP address is greater than the last IP address.
• IP address range does not contain enough free addresses (one is the minimum).
• When the DHCP server function is enabled, the network portion of the IP address for
the radio appears in the entry boxes for IP address range (First and Last).
• In the unlikely situation where interface addressing has been selected (Advanced)
and multiple interfaces have been assigned a LAN compatible address, the DHCP
address range must not include the addresses assigned to these interfaces.
• The DHCP address range must not include 192.168.255.0 to 192.168.255.255 as they
are used for internal (embedded) addressing within Eclipse.
Configuring The DHCP Server
The Eclipse Edge terminal is default (ex-factory) configured as a DHCP server.The
following procedure only applies when the DHCP server has been subsequently
disabled, and there is a need to re-enable DHCP.
Configuring the DHCP server only requires it to be enabled and a valid address range
established. An address range specifies the range of IP addresses that a server has
available to assign to devices that are connected to it, in this case the address range
available to Portal PCs.
