NOTE TO USER
Overview
The DXL5000 Digital Microwave System (DXL5000) is a state-
of-the-art radio system. The DXL5000 Transmitter and Receiver
contain central processors used to control all functions and
operations of the system. To avoid potential software hang-ups
or software corruption, please read and follow the guidelines
contained in the following paragraphs.
Initial Setup
The DXL5000 Transmitter and Receiver each contain central
processors that can only be controlled from a PC or laptop,
either locally or from a remote location.
Prior to using either the DXL5000 Transmitter and/or
Receiver, the IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
addresses must be selected by your System Administrator.
The IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses must
be assigned upon initial receipt of your DXL5000 System or
you will be unable to control your DXL5000 System.
Unless otherwise requested, the DXR unit will be shipped with a
default IP address of 192.168.0.10, a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1.
To enter the IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses,
the System Administrator must perform the “Initial DXL5000
System Setup” on page 2-9.
Once the IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses are
assigned, the System Administrator will be able to assign up to
four user names and passwords.
To assign user names and passwords, perform the “Receiver
General Procedures” on page 2-18.
