APPENDIX D
— CONFIGURE THE COMPUTER ETHERNET PORTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
TRANSCEIVER
It is recommended that you use a computer with two Ethernet interfaces so that your computer can communicate with
a transceiver’s MAINT and LAN Ethernet ports at the same time. You need XtermW installed on the computer and have
administrative rights to configure the Ethernet interfaces.
Notes:
The following configuration examples are for directly connecting to the transceiver and bypassing any network
infrastructure. If direct access to the transceiver cannot be obtained, then contact your network administrator for
instructions.
If you are using the factory defaults, then use the following examples. If you are not using the factory defaults, then
contact your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings.
For these examples, Ethernet 1 refers to the computer’s first Ethernet port and is used for communication with the
transceiver MAINT port, and Ethernet 2 refers to the computer’s second Ethernet port and is used for communication
with the transceiver LAN port. It is possible to communicate with the radio transceiver using a computer with a single
Ethernet port, but you will only be able to communicate with one port at a time, and you will need to reconfigure the
port each time to use the appropriate IP address for the transceiver port you are connecting to.
