Set Up the Master Radio

To configure the radio, double click on the radio (Radio1) in the IH Browser
window. This action opens Internet Explorer and loads the IH Radio's web
configuration interface.

Important:

The radio configuration is protected by a login password. The

default password for the radio is "password" (lower case, no quotes). To
prevent unauthorized access to the radio configuration, you should change the
password when you have finished the initial configuration.
