• DHCP server connection, where a server function in the IDU provides an IP
address to the CT PC client.
• This option is enabled in the Networking screen.
• DHCP connection does not require operator knowledge of the IP address for
the connected radio.
V.24. This is the default connection option for a new, unconfigured IDU (IP
address not entered):
• V.24 does not require knowledge of an IDU's IP address.
• A V.24 cable is included in the IDU installation kit.
For information on CT PC connection, Refer to Volume IV, Chapter 2.
To enable 9500 MXC CT access on a new (unconfigured) IDU a V.24 connection
is required at the outset. Once connected, an IP address can be configured, from
which point Ethernet access can be used.
An Ethernet connection is recommended as it provides a much faster connection
and running speed compared to V.24. Ethernet must be used for remote-end and
network-wide access.
CT configuration screens for the IDUs are identical to those for the INU/INUe
(where service functionality is the same).
• For information on CT PC connection, refer to Setting Up 9500 MXC CT,
Chapter 2 of Volume III.
• For information on a recommended configuration process for a new IDU, refer
to Procedure Overview for a New Installation on page 3-7 of Volume III.
• For detail configuration data, refer to the relevant screens in Volume IV.
The CT Diagnostics screen functions include:
• Event browser with report options.
• History, graphed and report, with capture options for 7 days worth of 15 minute
data bins, or one month of daily bins. Screens are provided for RACs and
Ethernet IDUs/DACs. The RAC screen captures G.826, G.821, RSL and event
data. The Ethernet history screen captures throughputs, frame types, discards,
errors and events.
