• Telenet via the iNet 900’s ETHERNET Port (To Be Developed)
• ASCII Terminal or emulator via the
COM1 Port
This section needs further development. The only items that com-
monly need changes are the unit’s network name, IP address, power
level and system mode—Access Point or Station Adapter.
6.1 Programming Via an HTTP/Web Browser
A wide range of configuration, control and diagnostic tools are available
through a Web browser communicating with the radio via the Internet
Protocol (IP). The following is a brief overview of the HTTP interface
and several key configuration parameters since detailed help is available
on-line.
Making the Connection
Connect a personal computer’s Ethernet port to the
EHTERNET Port con-
nector on the radio transceiver. (See Figure 9 on page 16 for location.)
NOTE: It may be necessary to change your IP access to the local area
network on which the MDS iNet 900 radio is attached. The
radio’s IP address should be listed on the unit’s packaging slip.
If it is not, you can find it out using the preceding procedure to
communicate with the radio through the COM1 Port.

and configuration functions. Interact with it as you would any Web site.
