Using a TCP/IP Connection

Vol. IV-2-20
• Using a V.24 Connection to Obtain the Ethernet IP Address on page 2-28.
Prior to 9500 MXC CT start-up the Ethernet or V.24 cable should be
connected between your PC and the 9500 MXC radio. Ensure the radio has
been powered on for not less than 90 seconds.
To start CT double-click the 9500 MXC CT desktop shortcut.
The CT start up screen is displayed.
This procedure calls for a LAN compatible IP address to be entered on your PC.
It applies to a 9500 MXC radio that has not been DHCP server-enabled, but may
also be used to log in to a radio that has been server enabled.
1. Connect your PC to the 9500 MXC 10/100Base-T NMS port of the radio you
wish to connect to.
2. Ensure the TCP/IP properties on your CT PC are configured to put the PC on
the same LAN as the terminal you are connecting to.
3. Open the CT start-up screen. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-21.
4. Enter the IP address of the target 9500 MXC radio in the Connect-to line, or
select from the list.
• The list shows the IP address and name of the ten most recently connected
radios, with the most recent at the top.
• If you are connected to a stand-alone radio (no cabled NMS connection to
another co-located Node/Terminal) a green tick will identify the IP address
and name of the connected radio, providing you have correctly entered a
LAN compatible IP address on your PC. Select by clicking on its address
line, at which point its IP address appears on the Connect-to entry line.
• If you are connected to a radio that is also NMS cabled to another co-located
radio (radios are on the same LAN), a green tick will appear in the address/
name line for each radio. Click to select the required radio, at which point its
IP address will appear in the Connect-to entry line.
5. To log into the selected radio, click Connect. At this point the CT version
installed on the terminal will be confirmed at the bottom of the window, and
status and progress indicators indicate the connection process. Refer to
Connection Process on page 2-23.
• If the radio has been configured for access security, a username and
password window will appear at this point. Refer to Entering a Username
and Password on page 2-24.
