What You Will Need to Work with the Unit
In order to connect to and control the PulsON 200
TM
radios,
the user will need at least one PC,
hardware, and software as described below.
• PC running Windows 2000 or Windows NT--
EVK software has been developed to
work with Windows 2000 and Windows NT. The EVK software will work with Windows
98 and Windows ME operating systems, but the Flash Loader Utility will not. Windows
98 and Windows ME should not be used with this device.
• Dedicated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Card--
Each PC used to control a
PulsON 200 radio should be configured with a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface
Card (NIC) configured for dedicated communication with the radio. If the PC already has
a NIC installed to provide LAN access, a second NIC card should be installed and
configured for communication with the radio. See
Installing and Configuring an Ethernet
Network Interface Card
in the
Troubleshooting the Radio
appendix of this document for
the setup procedure.
• Ethernet Cables--
CAT-5 Standard or Crossover Ethernet cables will be needed to
connect a PC to the PulsON 200 radio. Refer to section
PC-to-PulsON 200 Radio
Ethernet Connection Options
of this document for information on specific configurations.
• Ethernet Hub—
An Ethernet hub may be required to connect a PC to one or more PulsON
200 radios. Refer to section
PC-to-PulsON Radio Ethernet Connection Options
of this
document for more information.
