6.0 USING THE DEVICE MANAGER
The radio contains a built-in management system known as a Device
Manager. This web-based tool is accessed with a PC connected to the
radio’s Ethernet port as shown in Figure 23. It offers an intuitive, easy
to use method for managing your radio and performing common main-
tenance tasks.
NOTE:
The Device Manager is the preferred method for managing the
transceiver. Menu-based Serial or Telnet management is also
possible. Refer to the
SD Serial/Telnet Management Supple-
ment
, Part No. 05-6193A01 for details.
If you are using the Device Manager for the first time, refer to “Initial
Configuration” on Page 27 for instructions on connecting a PC to the
radio and logging into the Device Manager for basic radio setup,
including use of the Setup Wizards.
