3 Configuring the NCL1135
18 APCD–NC003–2.0A
3.2.2 Setting the IP Configuration
Ensure that the NCL1135 has been connected to a terminal and initialized as described in
Connecting and Initializing the NCL1135, on page 12 and you have changed the password as
described in Changing the NCL1135 Password, on page 14.
Complete the radio configuration as described in Setting the IP Configuration, on page 18
before configuring the IP configuration options.
1. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <ip address ethernet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd nn>
to set the IP address for the Ethernet interface. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address
of the NCL1135 and nn is the number of bits in the subnet mask (for example, 24
represents a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0).
2. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <mode bridging> or <mode routing> to set the
forwarding mode.
3. If the mode is set to bridging in Step 2, omit this step. If the mode is routing, type <ip
address radio remote_unit_id aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd eee.fff.ggg.hhh> to
set the IP address for the radio interface to the remote unit. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is
the IP address for the local unit and eee.fff.ggg.hhh is the IP address for the
remote unit.
NOTE: If you change the radio IP address for a Station at a later time,
remember to update the Master with the new Station IP address.
If you change the radio IP address for a Master at a later time,
remember to update each Station in the Remote Station List with
the new remote IP address for the Master.
4. For a Master unit, repeat step 3 for every Station in the group. For a Station unit, you
only need to enter the remote unit IP address for the Master.
5. You can optionally add a maximum of 256 static routes for the NCL1135. At the
NCL1135> prompt, type <ip route add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
eee.fff.ggg.hhh subnet_mask> where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address
for the destination network, eee.fff.ggg.hhh is the IP address for the gateway,
and subnet_mask is specified in the number of bits.
6. If the mode is routing and the NCL1135 is a Master, type <ip route add
station_ethernet_subnet station_radio_ip_address subnet_mask> to
route the Master subnet traffic to the Master.
7. If the mode is routing and the NCL1135 is a Station, type <ip route add 0.0.0.0
master_radio_ip_address 0> to add a default static route to route all unknown
subnets through the Master.
8. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <radio enable> to enable the NCL1135 to transmit
messages. Ensure that the NCL1135 antenna port is terminated.
9. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <write> to save the settings to memory.
10. When done configuring the NCL1135, disconnect the terminal from the NCL1135.
