Radio Management Access Via TCP/IP

The IP Address of an M900S radio is for management purposes only. The IP address is not used for purposes of routing
or passing traffic. Users should take care to set appropriate IP schemes for all management activities including upgrading
the radio’s firmware. It is not uncommon for users to assign public IP addresses to the radios so that they can be accessed
from anywhere via the Internet. In order to gain TCP/IP access to SU (from either side of the wireless network), ensure
that SU Switches 2 and 6 are turned on. In order to gain TCP/IP access to the AP from the SU side of the wireless
network, ensure that AP Switch 7 is turned on.

SU Management from AP

The AP provides functionality and several commands that permit the management of associated SUs. In fact, most
system management functions are performed by issuing commands from the AP. Presented below are a few examples of
these commands:

su ping <suid>

su status <suid>

su ipconfig <suid> <new IP> <new subnet> <new gateway>

su password <suid | all> <rw | ro> <new password> <new password>

su reboot <all|suid>

su testrflink <all|suid> [<r>]

su sw <suid> <sw #> <on|off>

Note: SU commands issued from the AP will automatically update the SU’s flash memory. No save ss command is
necessary.

As an example, you can remotely change the password for a single SU or all SUs in a sector:
su password <suid | all> <rw | ro> <new password> <new password>

Example:
#>su password all rw hello hello

to remotely change the read write password on all SUs to “hello”

As another example, to change an SU’s IP, subnet, and gateway: su ipconfig <suid> <new ip> <new subnet> <new
gateway>
Type the following:
#>su ipconfig 7 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1

In this example SU #7’s IP address was changed to 192.168.10.10, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway to
192.168.10.1.

A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix A – Command Set Reference.
