Step 3 – Find the IP Addresses for the Radios
First, determine what network the Ethernet radios are connected to:
• Newly installed Ethernet radios might still be configured for the default stand-alone network
(based on the IP addresses that were assigned at the factory). Find the IP addresses for your
radios by following the instructions in the Stand-Alone Network section below.
• Ethernet radios might be configured to connect to the local area network (LAN) at the site
(based on the IP addresses that were assigned by the site network administrator). If your
Ethernet radio network is connected to the LAN, use the information recorded on the
Ethernet Radio Configuration Worksheet to find the static IP addresses for all of the radio
equipment.
Stand-Alone Network Instructions
To configure the radio settings, you will need a laptop computer with the Discovery Server
executable and an Ethernet cable. If you need to download the Discovery Server executable onto
the laptop, refer to Step 5 of Configuring the Radios on page 3 of this document.
Find the IP Address of the Repeater Ethernet Radio
1. Go to the Repeater radio unit. Make sure that it is powered up.
2. Write down the serial number of the Repeater radio unit. You’ll find the number on a sticker
affixed to the radio hardware.
3. Power up the laptop.
4. Open the enclosure door and plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on
the Repeater radio module.
5. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the laptop.
6. Double-click the Discovery Server executable file, and then click Run in the Security Warning
dialog box. The FreeWave Discovery Tool window displays a list of the radios that are on the
stand-alone network.
