5.3 Quick-Start
At this stage, it may be desirable to apply some basic configurations to the radio terminal so that
a link can be established on the bench.
Follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide that came with the radio. A summary of the items
that need to be configured is listed here.
• Set Radio IP Address at each end.
o Each end should have a different IP address from each other and also not match
your computer’s IP address or any address already assigned if the radios will be
part of a larger network.
o It may be required to change the IP address of your computer after you have
changed the IP address of the radio so that the IP subnet is matching.
o Radio IP address is on the Administration Settings Page
• Set one radio to Radio A, and the other to Radio B
o The radio selected as Radio A needs to be configured.
o Radio A/B selection is on the System Configuration Page called “Endpoint
Identifier”
o Even though both radios are defaulted as Radio B, this should configuration
should be confirmed on the radio intended to be Radio B.
If all other parameters are still configured at factory default settings, the radios may now be
connected back-to-back to verify that the link is communicating and to perform any other tests
desired. Back-to-back bench testing is described in Appendix B.
Section 5.4 describes each page of the GUI in more detail. Most of the configuration parameters
are fairly intuitive. The following parameters must match at both ends in order for the link to
communicate.
• Link Security Key (Administration Settings Page)
• Bandwidth (System Configuration Page)
• RF Frequency (System Configuration Page)
