Network

This menu allows changes to the radio’s IP address. The IP address is

used for network connectivity. The IP address also allows new radio

software to be downloaded over-the-air.

This menu allows the subnet mask to be viewed and changed. The

subnet mask specifies which bits of the host IP address can be re-used

for increased network addressing efficiency.

Example: Consider an IP address in a Class C network, such as

150.215.017.009. The Class C network means that the right-most group

of numbers (009) identifies a particular host on this network. The other

three groups of numbers (150.215.017) represent the network address.

Subnetting allows the further division of the host part of the address

(right-most group of numbers) into two or more subnets. A subnet mask

of 255.255.255.127 allows half of the host portion of the IP address to

be reused to define sub-networks.

This menu allows the Gateway IP address to be viewed or set. The

Gateway IP address is the address of the radio that connects the radio

network to an IP network.

This menu allows selection of the Default IP port for networking con-

nections to the LEDR radio. The

Ethernet selection is used for cable con-

nection to a Local Area Network (LAN) or repeater via the radio’s rear

panel ETHERNET connector.

The

AIR selection is commonly used for over-the air (RF) networking

between radios, but may also be used with a back-to-back cable connec-

tion between two radios via the radio’s rear panel ETHERNET NMS con-

nector. This type of communication uses the SNAP protocol and

requires the use of an ethernet crossover cable.
