A unique IP address and subnet are required to access the browser-based
Management System either through the
LAN port, or remotely
over-the-air.
2.6 STEP 5—CONNECT LAN AND/OR
SERIAL EQUIPMENT
Connect a local area network to the LAN port or serial devices to the
COM1 (DCE) or COM2 (DTE) ports. Make sure your transceivers are
capable of supporting your devices. (See Table 1-1 . Transceiver Models
and Data Interface Services, on page 5 for a summary of model capabil-
ities.) The
LAN port will support any Ethernet-compatible equipment.
This includes devices that use the Internet Protocol (IP).
NOTE: If you configure COM1 for payload data service while you are
plugged into it, you will not be able to access the management
system. Alternate methods for accessing the management
system are: use Telnet or the web browser through the Ethernet
port; use Telnet or the web browser through the antenna port
(remote management).
Figure 2-3 on Page 23 shows the default functions and services for the
interface connectors.
