Setting Up A TCP/IP Ethernet 9500 MXC CT Connection
Setting up your CT PC to connect to a 9500 MXC Node or Terminal via an
Ethernet connection involves the following steps:
• Ethernet Access Requirements on page 2-5
• Setting Up Your PC TCP/IP Properties on page 2-6
Ethernet Access Requirements
A successful connection between a PC and a 9500 MXC Node or Terminal via
Ethernet requires the following:
• An industry-standard 10Base-T or 10/100Base-T LAN card installed on your
PC.
• The IP address and subnet mask settings for the 9500 MXC Node or Terminal
to be connected to.
• A network compatible IP address and subnet mask set up on your PC. This
enables your PC to be recognized on the 9500 MXC management network.
Refer to Setting Up Your PC TCP/IP Properties on page 2-6.
For an existing 9500 MXC network, contact the network administrator to secure
a list of IP address details for Nodes and Terminals, or use a V.24 connection to
obtain details of the connected Node/Terminal.
For a new 9500 MXC network or for additions to an existing network, the
network administrator provides the IP address and subnet mask settings to be
loaded into the new Nodes/Terminals.
If in doubt about Ethernet access and PC settings, contact your network
administrator or IT manager for assistance.
TCP/IP connection requires knowledge of the IP address of the radio you are
connected to.
TCP/IP must be used for an Ethernet connection where the radio connected to is
not enabled as a DHCP server.
If you do not know the IP address of a 9500 MXC Node/Terminal, refer to Using a
V.24 Connection to Obtain the Ethernet IP Address on page 2-28.
Do not use the address range from 192.168.255.0 to 192.168.255.255 as these
addresses are used for internal (embedded) addressing within 9500 MXC.
