8.4 Radio Configuration Dialog Box - IFHE
The Radio Configuration Dialog Box opens when you select a radio in the
Graphical Layout Screen (page 76), and then choose Properties. Use this dialog
box to view or modify the settings for a radio.

Radio Name: Identifies the radio in the Graphical Layout Screen. Type the
name (for example, Scanner, Radio 1, or Repeater) of the radio in this field.

Send Data to: Select the send data mode from the dropdown list. For some
network types, this setting is fixed and cannot be modified.

Last Date Configured: The date and time reported here indicates:
o
The last time that the configuration parameters were modified and saved
o
The last time the radio was configured (page 40) (configuration data was
downloaded to the radio).

Last S/N Configured: This is the serial number of the radio being configured.
The information in this field is maintained by ControlScape and cannot be
modified. If this radio has never been configured as a part of this network, this
field will be blank.

Select radio: Click this button to select a radio to configure over the Ethernet
connection, or change the radio’s IP address.

IP Address: Displays the IP Address of the currently selected radio. To
change the IP address for this radio, click the Select Radio button.

Subnet Mask: This defines the network ID and is typically set to
255.255.255.0. All Ethernet devices on a particular network should have the
Subnet Mask set to the same value.

Default Gateway: This defines the default network that the Configuration PC
will operate on. The gateway is the computer that routes the traffic from a
workstation to the outside network.

Serial Settings: This button opens the Serial Settings dialog box, allowing
you to configure the way serial data packets are encapsulated and
transmitted over an Ethernet network.

OK: Click the OK button to save your settings to a configuration file on your
local computer. These settings do not affect the radio until you click the
Configure Radio button to transfer the configuration to the radio.

Configure Radio: Click the Configure Radio button to send the configuration
settings to the radio. When you click this button, ControlScape opens a
connection between the serial port on the computer and the serial port on the
radio, and then copies the configuration from the computer to the radio's
memory.

Cancel: Click the Cancel button to close the dialog box and discard your
changes.

Help: Click the Help button to read the online help for ControlScape.

Advanced: Click the Advanced button to view and change additional settings
for the radio. These settings control advanced features that are normally not
required for a typical radio network.
