Remote Management of an SUO
In order to remotely access an SUO you need to assign an IP address to the SUO's "air
interface". This address can be assigned through a DHCP server. You can also assign a
static SMC IP address.
Note
Statically-assigned IP addresses are supported in RedMAX v2.1 and higher.
Each SUO can have up to three IP addresses:
•
The default IP address that is assigned at the factory and cannot be deleted or
modified: 192.168.101.1
•
The local IP address that can be set. This is the IP address that should be used to
connect the SUO directly to a local computer.
•
The remote IP address for the air interface that must be assigned by a DHCP server.
Note
All three IP addresses should be on different subnets.
You must ensure that Management Support has been enabled on each SUO.
Configuring a DHCP Server
You can use a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to registering subscriber units. You do
not need to set up service flows for DHCP traffic. The sector controller acts as a DHCP
relay.
When assigning IP addresses with a DHCP server, the basic DHCP lease must include
your default gateway, subnet mask, and an IP offer. Time of Day (ToD) is also highly
recommended (option 4).
Step 1
Install and configure the DHCP server as outlined in the documentation provided with the
application. Redline recommends commercially-available products, such as Cisco® CNR
or Nominum® Dynamic Configuration Server.
Step 2
Specify the following parameters when configuring your DHCP server:
:

DHCP Server Configuration Parameters
Parameter
Description
Name
Specify a name and/or description for a new policy. i.e.
RedMAX_DHCP_One
IP Address Range
Specify the addresses to be assigned as a device requests them. You will
need to specify a start and end for the range. i.e. Start=172.29.228.21;
End =172.29.228.41. You must ensure that your sector controller(s) and
the computer are not within this range.
