This section describes the steps necessary to configure the IP address parameters of EXB-IP modules for an IP
network that is shared with other IP devices (such as workstations, servers, etc.).
NOTE: DO NOT connect the EXB-IP module to a live IP network until it has been
reconfigured with new IP addresses and subnet mask supplied by the network manager.
Network-wide problems could arise from connecting devices to a network without
coordination of addressing information. For usage with dedicated fiber segments, see the note
below.
Units are shipped factory-programmed so that they can be tested in a back-to-back mode with a crossover
Ethernet cable. The initial tests in this mode do not require field programming. However, the modules must be
programmed before installing in a real network.

Example screen captures of the EXB Config program are shown in the manual to give the reader an example of
what to expect during setup, configuration, and operation of the software. Newer versions of the software may
include updated windows with slightly different wording or additional fields.
Data shown in example screen captures is presented only for example purposes only. It does not reflect any
particular user's system.
Various sections of the manual focus on particular topics. Example screen captures within a section are
presented as examples of the topics covered in that section. Example data show in the screen captures in one
section may not apply to screen captures shown or system configuration described in different sections.
IP Addresses, Subnet Masks, Gateway IP Addresses, and UDP port numbers are taken from test systems in a
lab and are used as examples only. They will not reflect your system settings. They should not be taken as
recommendations.
Since the test system used in preparing this manual did not include the various IP routers used in an ASTRO®
25 7.x system, the example settings do not coincide with the requirements and recommendations of Motorola's
IP Plan. Each system is different; refer to the documentation for your system for the proper IP addresses and
UDP port numbers.
