Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The Exalt GUI is the primary user interface for configuring and troubleshooting the radio
and radio system. A computer or hand-held device with a conventional HTML browser
and Ethernet port is required. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the preferred browser.
Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox are also supported.
Preparing to Connect
If the radios are new, both radios are preconfigured as Radio B, and have the same IP
address. The initial priority is to configure one radio to Radio A and assign different IP
addresses, unique to each radio.
There are two ways to change the IP address:
1. Use the CLI interface through the console port (serial), as described in Command
Line Interface (CLI) on page 62
2. Connect to the GUI using the default IP address (10.0.0.1), and change the IP
address through the GUI interface.
If the radio’s current IP address is unknown, use the CLI interface through
the console port to retrieve it and/or change it. Or perform a complete
radio reset as described in Reset to Critical Factory Settings
on page 52.
To connect to the radio’s Ethernet port and use the GUI interface, the
accessing computer must match the radio’s IP address subnet. It is
therefore necessary to either change the radio’s IP address through the CLI
to match the subnet of the computer, or change the computer’s IP address
to match the subnet of the radio (such as, a computer IP address of
10.0.0.10 if trying to connect to a radio set to the factory default IP
address of 10.0.0.1).
There are three ways to configure a radio as Radio A:
1. Use the temporary hardware configuration key, as discussed in Temporary
Hardware Configuration Key (Standard Models Only) on page 35.
2. Use the front panel DIP switch, as discussed in DIP Switch Configuration (-16
Models Only)
on page 36.
