Ethernet Settings; Antenna Swr Check - GE MDS SD Series Technical Manual

NOTE Baud rate settings that are matched or higher than the modem speed should be used in all
cases. If the baud rate must be lower than the modem speed, the
can be adjusted. See "
NOTE 4800B modem supports running a baud rate 300, 600, 1200 or 2400 bps. No special set-
tings required in this modem. Simply choose 4800B modem and set the necessary baud
rate.

Ethernet Settings

The local Ethernet connection must be configured to conform to the needs of the local Ethernet
network. The
Configuration>>Communication Ports>>IP/IP2 Configuration
these settings. Here are some general points that apply to Ethernet settings:
• The radio's Ethernet settings must be configured in order to communicate over the LAN
to which it is connected.
• It must be known whether or not a DHCP server is active in a network to make use of the
radio's DHCP client setting.
• If a DHCP server is available, DHCP client can be enabled on the radio. Once enabled, it
can take a few minutes before the radio obtains an IP address, which will be displayed in
the
Current IP Address
• If DHCP operation is unavailable (or is not desired), then a static IP address may be
manually set. IP network setup is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult your network
administrator.
• As a quick reference, a typical LAN setup might appear as follows:
Static IP Address
Static IP Netmask

See Page 64 for more information on Ethernet settings.

Antenna SWR Check

Before placing the radio into final service, a check should be made of the antenna system's
standing wave ratio (SWR). Use a directional wattmeter suited to the frequency of operation for
this check. High SWR (above 2:1) may indicate an antenna, connector, or feed line problem, and
should be corrected.
