2. Type the IP address for the Repeater radio unit in the Address Bar at the top of the web
browser window, and then press Enter. If the browser indicates that it is switching to a secure

4. Verify that the serial number at the top of the page matches the serial number of the
Repeater radio. If it does not, make sure that the IP address in the Address Bar at the top of
the web browser window is accurate for that radio. If necessary, type a different IP address in
the Address Bar, and then press Enter.

6. Make sure that the Network Type field is set to Multi-Point.

Subnet ID (RX) field. Select an option from the list.
Note: Refer to the network map that you made and use the settings that you assigned.

Note: If your changes don’t show up in the configuration pages after clicking the Save/Apply
button and rebooting the Ethernet radio, you might need to power cycle the radio. Unplug
the power connector from the control board. Wait a few seconds and then plug the power
connector back in.
