The Aprisa SR contains an embedded web server application (SuperVisor) to enable element management
with any major web browser (such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft® Internet Explorer).

remote station radios over the radio link.
The key features of SuperVisor are:
Full element management, configuration and diagnostics
Manage the entire network from the Base Station (remote management of elements)
Managed network software distribution and upgrades
Performance and alarm monitoring of the entire network, including RSSI, alarm states, time-
stamped events, etc.

Connecting to SuperVisor
The predominant management connection to the Aprisa SR radio is with an Ethernet interface using
standard IP networking. There should be only one Ethernet connection from any radio in the network to
the management network.
The Aprisa SR has a factory default IP address of 169.254.50.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. This is
an IPv4 Link Local (RFC3927) address which simplifies the connection to a PC.
Each radio in the network must be set up with a unique IP address on the same subnet.
The Aprisa SR Protected Station radio A (left radio) has a factory default IP address of 169.254.50.10 and
radio B (right radio) has a factory default IP address of 169.254.50.20, both with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
To change the Aprisa SR IP address:
1. Set up your PC for a compatible IP address e.g. 169.254.50.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
2. Connect your PC network port to one of the Aprisa SR Ethernet ports.
3. Open a browser and enter http://169.254.50.10.
4. Login to the radio with the default Username ‘admin’ and Password ‘admin’.
5. Change the IP address to conform to the network plan in use.
