Connect to the browser-based GUI using the default IP address, and change the IP
address through the GUI interface, as described in this section.
The factory default IP address of the radio is
10.0.0.1
If you do not know the radio’s current IP address, you may perform a radio reset
as described in section 4.2.4.
In order to connect to the radio’s Ethernet port and use the browser-based GUI
interface, your computer will need to match the radio’s IP address subnet. With
this in mind, either change the radio’s IP address through the CLI to match the
subnet of your computer, or change your computer’s IP address to match the
subnet of the radio’s IP address (such as a computer IP address of 10.0.0.10 if
trying to connect to a radio set to the factory default IP address of 10.0.0.1).
One end of the link must be configured to Radio A configuration. Connect to the browser-based
GUI, and change the configuration through the GUI interface, as discussed in this section.
5.2.2 Making the Connection
It is best/easiest to configure one radio at a time, on a bench, before taking the radios to the field
for installation.
•
If using the external antenna version, terminate the RF connector with a 50-ohm
termination or a fixed attenuator of at least 20dB. See section 4.2.1.
•
Apply power to the radio. See section 4.2.2 or 4.2.3.
At this point, do not connect the radios in a back-to-back configuration. If the
radios are currently set to factory default settings, both radios are configured as
Radio B and will not communicate, and both radios will have the same IP address,
which will cause configuration issues.
As mentioned in section 5.2.1, your computer’s IP address subnet must match the
radio’s IP address subnet to connect via Ethernet.
Once you have connected to the radio using Ethernet, you are ready to login to the browser-
based GUI.
5.2.3 Logging In
Launch your computer’s browser software. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the recommended
browser, but other browsers may also provide full functionality. If there are issues with other
browsers, you are encouraged to report them to Exalt customer service, however, you may be
required to use a different browser to overcome issues immediately.
On the browser address bar, type the IP address of the radio, as shown below.
