Using The Device Manager; Navigating The Screens - GE MDS SD Series Technical Manual

6.0 USING THE DEVICE MANAGER

The radio contains a built-in management system known as a Device Manager. This web-based
tool is accessed with a PC connected to the radio's Ethernet port as shown in Figure 26. It offers
an intuitive method for managing your radio and performing common maintenance tasks.
NOTE The Device Manager is the preferred method for managing the transceiver. Menu-based
Serial or Telnet management is also possible. Refer to the SD Serial/Telnet Management
Supplement, Part No. 05-6193A01 for details.
If you are using the Device Manager for the first time, refer to Web for instructions on connect-
ing a PC to the radio and logging into the Device Manager for basic radio setup, including use of
the Setup Wizards.
