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. Google Chrome is the preferred browser. Netscape, Mozilla, Microsoft Internet Explorer,
and Firefox are also supported.
Preparing to Connect
If the radios are new, both radios are preconfigured as Tx Lo and Tx Hi with default IP addresses of
10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, respectively. If the radios are not new, the IP addresses and Hi/Lo and diplexer
configurations may need to be changed. The initial priority is to connect to the radio’s management
system to completely configure the radio. Assign the radios different IP addresses, unique to each
radio. There are two ways to change the IP address:
1 Reset the radio to the critical default factory settings (see Radio Reset).
2 Connect to the GUI using the default IP address (10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2), and change the IP address
through the GUI interface.
Make Connections
It is recommended that one radio at a time be configured, on a bench, before taking the radios to the
field for installation. Terminate the RF connector with a 50-Ohm termination or a fixed attenuator of at
least 20dB (see Power
).
Once connected to the radio using Ethernet, log in to the Exalt GUI.
Log In
Use the following steps to log in to the Exalt GUI.
1 Open a browser window.
Note: 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).
CAUTION! Do not connect the radios in a back-to-back configuration unless the IP
addresses of the two radios are verified as different from each other.
Note: The IP address subnet of the accessing computer must match the radio’s IP address
subnet to connect using Ethernet.
