General (CLI)
Before connection over the radio hop is established, it is of high importance that you assign to
the PTP 820 unit a dedicated IP address, according to an IP plan for the total network. See
Changing the Management IP Address (CLI)
By default, a new PTP 820 unit has the following IP settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Caution
If the connection over the link is established with identical IP addresses, an IP address
conflict will occur and remote connection to the element on the other side of the link
may be lost.
Establishing a Connection (CLI)
Connect the PTP 820 unit to a PC by means of a Twisted Pair cable. The cable is connected to the
MGT port on the PTP 820 and to the LAN port on the PC. Refer to the Installation Guide for the type
of unit you are connecting for cable connection instructions.
Note
The PTP 820 IP address, as well as the password, should be changed before the system
is set in operation. See
Changing the Management IP Address (CLI)
PC Setup (CLI)
To obtain contact between the PC and the PTP 820 unit, it is necessary to have an IP address on the
PC within the same subnet as the PTP 820 unit. The default PTP 820 IP address is 192.168.1.1. Set
the PC address to e.g. 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Note the initial settings
before changing.
Note
The PTP 820 IP address, as well as the password, should be changed before operating
the system is set in operation. See
