IP Configuration Menu
The radios use a local IP address to support remote management and serial device services.
The IP address of a radio can be set as a static IP address or as a dynamic IP address using
the IP Configuration Menu.
The radio is not a router, so all IP parameters access local management only, and have no
effect on the routing of system data.

When static IP addressing is used, the user must manually configure the IP address and other
parameters. When dynamic addressing is used, the radio uses a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) Client process to obtain an IP address from a DHCP Server, along with
other parameters such as a net mask and a default gateway.
Caution
Changes to any of the following parameters while communicating over the network (LAN or
over-the-air) may cause a loss of communication with the unit being configured.
Communication will need to be re-established using the new IP address.
▪ IP Address Node —Defines how the IP address of this device is obtained: either statically
configured, or dynamically assigned from a DHCP server. [Static, Dynamic; Static]
▪ Static IP Address —(We recommend that you review this setting.) Essential for
connectivity to the transceiver MS via the LAN port and to encapsulate serial data over an
IP. Enter any valid IP address that will be unique within the network. [192.168.1.1] This
field is unnecessary if DHCP is enabled.
▪ Static IP Netmask —The IPv4 local subnet mask. This field is unnecessary if DHCP is
enabled. [255.255.0.0]
▪ Static IP Gateway —The IPv4 address of the network gateway device, typically a router.
This field is unnecessary if DHCP is enabled, or if all devices are on the same subnet.
[0.0.0.0]
▪ Current IP Address
—(We recommend that you review this setting.) Displays the IP
address.
