Configuration and Diagnostics
This chapter introduces features and capabilities of the craft terminal, 9500 MXC
CT.
9500 MXC is a software-driven product; there are no manual controls.
CT is a web-enabled application supported in the 9500 MXC system software.
Once installed on a PC, it automatically downloads support from the radio as
needed to ensure CT always matches the version of system software supplied, or
subsequently downloaded in any radio upgrade. For information on
auto-matching, refer to Volume 4, Chapter 2.
CT has the look and feel of a Windows environment with screen-based views and
prompts for all configuration and diagnostic attributes.
There are two PC to INU/INUe or IDU connection options: 10/100Base-T
Ethernet, or V.24/RS-232:
• Ethernet provides faster communication and supports access to all other
NMS-connected Nodes/Terminals on the network. There are two Ethernet
connection options:
• Direct-entry of a LAN compatible IP address within the TCP/IP properties
window on your 9500 MXC CT PC.
• DHCP connection, where the 9500 MXC Node/Terminal is the server and
your CT PC the client.
• V.24/RS-232 is required in the absence of a DHCP connection option where the
address of a Node/Terminal is unknown. It is typically used to load an IP
address into a new, unconfigured Node/Terminal, from which point Ethernet is
used.
