PC-to-PulsON 200 Radio Ethernet Connection Options
TDC strongly recommends that there be a dedicated Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) in the PC
you intend to use with the Radios. A description of how to install and configure a NIC card is
provided in the
Troubleshooting the Radio
appendix of this document. This must be done before
establishing a link between the PC and radio.
There are several methods for setting up an Ethernet connection between a PC and one or more
radios. Two common configurations are shown below
Figure 4 shows a method for connecting one PC to one PulsON radios with minimal hardware. A
commercially available Ethernet crossover cable eliminates the need for an Ethernet hub or other
interfacing hardware. This configuration allows the radio to be used with its default IP address of
10.1.4.2.

Figure 5 shows a method for connecting one PC to one or more radios. In this configuration, standard
Ethernet cables are used to interface to an Ethernet hub. If the PC or radio is connected to a hub port
that can be set for "standard" or "uplink" mode, confirm that the port is in "standard" mode. If only
one radio is connected, it can use its default IP address of 10.1.4.2. If additional radios are added,
each radio must be configured with a different IP address. See
