Radio Reset
Use the reset function if the IP address and/or passwords are lost. Use the steps particular to your radio
model to perform a critical parameter reset.
The following configurations are reset on the radio when performing a reset:
IP address = 10.0.0.1
IP mask = 255.0.0.0
IP gateway = 0.0.0.0
Administration password = password
User password = password
VLAN = disabled
Performing a Reset
To perform a radio reset, you must have a mechanism to connect the radio’s RSL/BNC port between
the center pin and the shield to provide a “short” between the two conductors. Common methods for
this are:
Using the BNC termination provided in the radio accessory kit.
Using a standard voltmeter BNC cable, attach a jumper clip to the voltmeter end to short the two
conductors.
Using a BNC male connector assembly, connect or solder a wire or jumper to short the center pin
and outer shield.
Once the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism solution is identified, follow this procedure:
1 Remove the power source, preferably at the AC or PoE DC input.
2 Remove the RSL/BNC port cover on the radio.
3 Install the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism chosen above.
4 Apply power.
5 Wait until the internal beeper sounds (approximately 1 minute). You can verify the reset by
pinging the 10.0.0.1 default IP address.
6 Remove the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism.
7 Replace the RSL/BNC port cover.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
VLAN segments information in a single connection and creates multiple separate connections to
secure information of one type or for one set of users from other information types or for other sets of
users. Exalt’s VLAN communications implementation adheres to the IEEE standard 802.1q.
In most cases, an Exalt radio acting as a Layer 2 bridge between two locations is only required to pass
traffic with VLAN tagging. Without additional configuration, all Exalt radios support frame sizes in
excess of 1900 bytes, which currently supports all defined VLAN packet sizes.
