•
Current IP Address
—Read-only indication of the current IP address
programmed.
•
Current Subnet Mask
—Read-only indication of the subnet mask
programmed.
•
Current Default Gateway
—Read-only indication of the current
default gateway programmed.
•
Static IP Address
—The radio requires a local IP address to support
remote management and serial device (terminal server) services.
An IPv4 IP address should be entered in this field, unless DHCP
is enabled, in which case it is not required.
•
Static IP Netmask
—This refers to the radio’s IPv4 local subnet
mask. This parameter is used when the radio attempts to send a
locally-initiated message, either from the terminal server, or a
management process. You need not define it if DHCP is enabled.
•
Static Default Gateway
—This is the IPv4 address of the default gate-
way device, typically a router connected to the radio.
•
DHCP
—Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) handles
the assignment of IP parameters (Address, Netmask, Gateway) to
all units in a network, and allows for introducing new devices on
the network with minimal manual intervention. The assigned
parameters are valid for a specific “lease” time, at which point
they can be reassigned or renewed.
Security
The transceiver offers a number of safeguards against unauthorized
management access and protection of payload data. All of these features
are accessed via the security configuration screens.
Device Security
•
Local Security
—This parameter is used to specify whether or not a
local log-in is required when using the transceiver’s menu system.
The default setting is
Local Login Required
, and is appropriate for
most circumstances. Setting this parameter to
No Local Login
