RLXIB-IESC ♦ 802.11a, b, g
RadioLinx® Industrial 802.11abg Serial and Ethernet Client
After the startup procedure has completed successfully, the Power LED should
be green, meaning that the radio has power. The Ethernet LED should also be
green, meaning that the Ethernet connection is working. The RF Transmit and
RF Receive LEDs should blink.
For information on making connections, see Radio Power Requirements (page
82) and Cable Specifications (page 84).
1.7.3 Detecting the Radio
After the radio has completed its startup procedure, the radio will appear in the IH
Browser window.
The window lists all the radios your computer can access. The MAC ID number is
essentially the serial number of the radio; this number is also printed on the side
of the radio. If a radio listing does not appear in the window, select Scan from the
File menu. If you still do not see a radio listing, see Troubleshooting (page 28).
Tip: If a radio listing does not appear in the window, open the File menu and choose Scan. If you
still do not see a radio listing, refer to Diagnostics and troubleshooting (page 28) in the RLXIB User
Guide.
1.7.4 Assign a Temporary IP Address
You need the IP address to log into the Radio Configuration/Diagnostic Utility
and configure the radio settings. If the radio is connected to a network with a
DHCP server, the radio may already have an IP address assigned to it.
If a DHCP server is not available, or if you prefer to assign a static IP address,
you can enter a temporary IP here. You will use the Radio Configuration /
Diagnostic Utility (page 31) to assign a permanent IP address.
