Exciter Configuration
Exciters are configured using the AeroScout System Manager or MSE. The
configuration settings consist of device installation and network definitions.
Configuring the Exciter via System Manager
The configuration procedure involves the following steps:
1. Connect all Exciters with a wired Ethernet connection to a dedicated segment.
2. Add the Exciters with the AeroScout System Manager, configure their
parameters and define their IP settings (The preconfigured IP is supplied per
Exciter).
If you wish to later change the IP settings (IP, subnet, gateway or ports) you can
do so by right-clicking on the Exciter and selecting IP Settings.
3. Check that the Exciter’s status is OK by right clicking on the Exciter icon and
selecting Status. Also verify in the status window that the firmware versions
(DSP and Second Boot) are compatible with the current installed Engine version
