Connect a PC to the LAN port on the radio, either directly or via a network. If connecting
directly, use an Ethernet crossover cable; if connecting via a network, use a straight-
through cable. The LAN LED lights to indicate an active connection.

When using a Local Area Network (LAN) to access the radio, it may be necessary to
change the computer IP access to the LAN in order to be compatible with the TS Wireless
radio (compatible subnets). You can identify or verify the radio IP address by using a
Local Console session to communicate with the TS Wireless radio through its COM 1 port
and viewing the
