4. Verify that the serial number at the top of the page matches the serial number of the
Gateway 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.
5. In the menu on the left, click the Radio Setup option.
6. Make sure that the Network Type field is set to Multi-Point.
7. Click the drop-down arrow in the Modem Mode field, and select Gateway from the list.
8. Scroll to the bottom of the Radio Setup page, and then click the drop-down arrow in the
Repeaters field. Select Enabled.
9. Click the drop-down arrow in the 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.
10. Click the drop-down arrow in the Subnet ID (TX) field. Select an option from the list.
11. Click the Save/Apply button.
12. Click the Reboot button.
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.
13. Close the browser window to close the configuration web server.
14. If your laptop is directly connected to one of the radios, unplug the Ethernet cable. Reconnect
the cross-over cable between the Ethernet radio and the controller if necessary.
15. If you configured the laptop’s IP address to connect to the Ethernet radio network, return the
laptop to the original settings.
Step 8 – Verify that the Controllers Are Connected to
BaseManager
Depending on how the network is configured at the site, the network administrator may need to
set up port forwarding in a router and/or change firewall settings in order to allow the radio
network to send and receive data over the Internet.
1. Go to one of the Baseline controllers that has a radio Endpoint installed.
2. Go into the network settings on the controller to ensure that it is using an Ethernet
connection. Even though the radio in the controller is set to a static IP address, the controller
itself should continue to use DHCP to obtain an IP address from the server.
Note: In some cases, a network administrator may want the controller to have a static IP
address. If you need to configure this, refer to Setting Up a Static IP Address in the controller’s
user manual.
