Page 2: Introduction
. Read this Thoroughly and carefully read this instruction sheet before installing or operating your S&C SpeedNet SDR Software Defined Radio. The latest version is available online in PDF Instruction Sheet format at sandc.com/en/Support/Product-Literature. These instructions apply to SpeedNet SDR Radio Firmware 1.37.X, and Ethernet Firm- ware version sc4(x4)-EBA.5.2.X. -
Page 3: Warranty
The standard warranty contained in the seller’s standard conditions of sale, as set forth in Price Sheets 150 and 155, applies to S&C SpeedNet SDR Software Defined Radios, except the first paragraph of said warranty is replaced by the following: (1) General: Seller warrants to purchaser for a period of two years from the date of ship-... -
Page 4: Network Setup
192.168.202.2. The wireless interface of the SpeedNet SDR Radio from Destination Node is assigned an address of 192.168.202.3. In this example, each SpeedNet SDR Radio host ID is 1 (as in 192.168.3.1), while the connected application device uses a host ID of 2 (as in 192.168.3.2). Following a numbering scheme such as this will make it easier to keep track of which IP addresses are assigned to each device. -
Page 5: Configuration
Web browser and entering the IP address of the radio. The default IP address of a SpeedNet SDR is set to 192.168.0.3 at the factory. Note that your PC IP address must be on the same LAN segment of the SpeedNet SDR radio. -
Page 6: Network
Ethernet port subnets and the wireless subnet. MAC Address —This read-only field displays the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address for each of the SpeedNet SDR Radio interfaces. No two network devices will use the same MAC address. - Page 7 Default IP Gateway —Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway that will act as the default gateway for this SpeedNet SDR Radio. The gateway will be the IP address of the wireless interface of a SpeedNet SDR Radio. NOTE: This Gateway address is not typi- cally configured for when AODV routing is enabled.

Page 8: Static Routes
— This is the next-hop gateway of the destination network for which the route is being created. The gateway will be the IP address of the wireless interface of a SpeedNet SDR Radio. • —After entering the details of the static route, click the button to add the route to the route table. -
Page 9: Network-Aodv
The Main screen provides a list of tabs that can be used to configure the routing performance of a SpeedNet SDR Radio. Selecting a tab will provide a list of configurable options. The AODV Settings tab, shown in Figure 8, is used to enable, disable, or configure the embedded ad hoc (mesh) routing protocol. - Page 10 Node Traversal Time —This value provides an estimate of the time required for a packet to traverse one wireless hop. The value affects how long a SpeedNet SDR Radio waits before resending a route-request packet. This value is measured in milliseconds and has a default value of 800 msec.
- Page 11 Enable AODV Gateway check box enables this feature and provides the additional configuration options detailed below. The Enable AODV Gateway option should only be enabled on the SpeedNet SDR Radio that will act as the gateway for the rest of the wireless network.

Page 13: Aodv Blacklist
Network—AODV AODV Blacklist The AODV Blacklist feature is used to prevent routing through SpeedNet SDR Radios that qualify as valid neighbors, but are neighbors that you do not want to use as next hop links for that particular radio address. See Figure 10. One reason to exclude a neighbor is that it may have a permanent or transient line-of-sight impediment, which results in poor packet delivery success over a given radio link. -

Page 21: Channel Utilization
SpeedNet SDR Radio. The Neighbor List provides a list of SpeedNet SDR Radios that are communicating wire- lessly with the local SpeedNet SDR Radio. The Neighbor List is updated each time messages are exchanged from another SpeedNet SDR Radio. IP Address—This field provides the IP address of the wireless interface of a Speed- Net SDR Radio whose Hello message has been received by the local SpeedNet SDR Radio. -
Page 22: Radio Rf Ping
The Radio RF Ping feature enables the direct testing of connectivity and link quality between two SpeedNet SDR Radios and can be initiated from either side of the link. To use this feature, enter the Radio ID for the radio on the far side of the link you wish to test and click on the Ping button. -
