Chapter4. Eclipse Edge Configuration and Diagnostics
- When the button is first pressed down, the LEDS are turned off. This off state
remains until 5 seconds has elapsed, signalling the start of the DHCP sever
function with orange LEDs. If the button is released within the first seconds, the
LEDs revert to their original state.
• If the button is held down for more than 10 seconds, the LEDs flash red and the
terminal is reset to its factory default configuration - all customer configuration
data is replaced with the factory default settings.
• For more information on the purpose and function of the recessed button refer to
Factory Reset for Edge on page 19.
4. Open the Portal start-up screen. Refer to Figure 4-2 on page 4-21.
•From this point normal DHCP access is provided. Refer to Normal DHCP
Connection: DHCP Server Enabled on page 18.
• The temporary DHCP server capability is maintained for 5 minutes from the time
it is enabled via the IP Reset button. The status LEDs will flash orange for this
period. If no action is taken during the 5 minute window to enable the DHCP
server (using the Networking screen) your Portal session will be terminated.
• Normally, during this 5 minute period you will re-configure the IP address for the
IDU and also enable its DHCP server.
• When you reconfigure the IP address of the radio, and click Send to confirm, you
may need to re-start Portal. (Depending on the version of Windows on your PC
you may or may not need to log back in).
Using a TCP/IP Connection
A TCP/IP connection requires a LAN compatible IP address to be entered on your PC.
It applies to an Edge terminal that has not been DHCP server-enabled. Note however,
it may also be used to log in to a radio that has been server enabled.
1. Connect your PC to the Eclipse 10/100Base-T NMS port of the terminal you wish
to connect to.
2. Ensure the TCP/IP properties on your Portal PC are configured to put the PC on the
same LAN as the terminal you are connecting to.
3. Open the Portal start-up screen. Refer to Figure 4-2 on page 4-21.
4. Enter the IP address of the target Eclipse terminal in the Connect-to field or select
from the list.
• The list shows the IP address and terminal name of the ten most recently
connected terminals, as well as the terminals detected by the Portal IP address
auto-discovery mechanism. For information on Portal auto-discovery, refer to
Portal to Edge Connection Options.
• All detected terminals have a green tick entered against their IP address. Only
green-ticked terminals can be connected to. The green tick confirms detection - it
does not confirm that your Portal PC can communicate with the terminal.
• To be able to communicate with the target (green-ticked) terminal, a LAN
compatible IP address must be configured on your PC.
• If you are connected to a terminal that is NMS connected to another co-located
terminal or terminals (terminals are on the same LAN), a green tick will appear in
the address/name line for each terminal.
5. To log into the selected radio, click Connect. At this point status and progress
indicators indicate the connection process. Refer to Connection Process on
