If the password is correct, the radio reboots and applies the requested changes. Otherwise, the
radio ignores the change request.

Accessing a Transceiver's Web Page from Discovery Server

Each Plus-style transceiver also has a set of configuration Web pages where you can set IP address, serial
port, and other configuration settings. You can access a transceivers's configuration Web page directly from
the Discovery Server application.

1. Open the Discovery Server application.

2. Right-click the discovered transceiver in the list and select Open Web Page.

Your computer’s default Web browser opens and displays the selected transceiver’s IP address in
the address bar. If your computer can communicate with that IP address via HTTP, the login
prompt displays.

3. Log in to display the transceiver’s configuration pages.

Rebooting All Transceivers in the Discovery Server List

Using the Discovery Server application, you can send a reboot command to every transceiver in the
Discovery Server list. Any transceiver in the Discovery Server list whose administrator password matches
that entered in Discovery Server is rebooted. Any transceiver that dos not have a matching administrator
password ignores the request.

Note: Discovery Server can only reboot a radio if that transceivers ’s administrator

password is seven characters long or less. Discovery Server does not accept
passwords longer than seven characters. You can use this password limitation
to limit which transceivers can be changed using the Discovery Server
application.

1. Open the Discovery Server application.

2. From the Mass Options menu, select Mass Reboot.

3. Enter the Administrator password and click OK.

Viewing Diagnostic Information in Discovery Server

Within the Discovery Server application, you can request diagnostic information from any discovered
transceiver.

Diagnostics are only reported from transceivers with a firmware version of 2.11 and higher. The statistics
reported depend on the firmware version of the transceiver. Firmware versions 2.14 and higher are required for
most of the statistics.
