Page 4: Network Planning For Ip Host Configurations
LBI-38962 NETWORK PLANNING FOR IP HOST CONFIGURATIONS Prior to configuring and installing the EDG, it is important to determine the IP Addresses that will be used. In addition to this document, the EDG Technical Description explains the concepts behind the EDG. Also, the EDG Configuration Reference Manual contains several example configurations which are helpful in building the SYSTEM.TXT configuration file once the configuration is known. -
Page 5: Edacs Addresses
LBI-38962 EDACS Addresses There are two types of EDACS Addresses, Logical IDs (LIDs) and Group IDs (GIDs). LIDs are used to reference a single host, radio, or TSI Master. GIDs are used to reference one or more radios. LIDs and GIDs are programmed into radios and can be changed as desired. -
Page 6: Assigning Network Ip Addresses
LBI-38962 ASSIGNING NETWORK IP ADDRESSES An internet consists of multiple networks connected together, with each network on the internet assigned a unique network address. Therefore, the first step is to determine the IP Network Addresses that will be used. In the simplest case, three network addresses will be used: one each for the IP Host Network, the Internal EDG Network, and the EDACS Network. -
Page 7: Assigning Individual Addresses
LBI-38962 For this example, it is assumed that you have chosen to assign Network Address 128.1.0.0 to your EDACS Network. Remember that since each network address must be unique, 128.1.0.0 should be reserved so that it is not used by any one else on the internet. Radio/RDI/RDT Host A Radio/RDI/RDT... -
Page 8: Using Network Layer Rdts
LBI-38962 USING NETWORK LAYER RDTS If Network Layer Radio Data Terminals (RDTs) are being used, i.e. RDTs with the EDACS Network Driver (END) installed, all message source and destination references are to IP addresses. EDACS addresses are not important or relevant to either the IP host or RDT, and are effectively hidden. This is analagous to an ethernet network, where an ethernet address is assigned to all devices, but the user need not know this address to communicate with other devices on the network - a higher layer addressing scheme such as IP is utilized. -
Page 9: Sample System.txt File
LBI-38962 Sample SYSTEM.TXT File The following is a SYSTEM.TXT configuration file that would match the example configuration: IP hosts with all network layer RDTs. Note here that since only network layer RDTs are being used, no entries are required in the [ip_map_id_table] for the IP hosts. -
Page 10: Using Non-Network Layer Rdts
LBI-38962 USING NON-NETWORK LAYER RDTs If there are any Radio Data Terminals (RDTs) that do not have the EDACS Network Driver installed, EDACS addresses become important to the user. Specifically, a Host LID needs to be mapped to each of the IP hosts. For this example, it is assumed that LID 1 has been assigned to Host A and LID 2 has been assigned to Host B. -
Page 11: Sample System.txt File
LBI-38962 Sample SYSTEM.TXT File The following is a SYSTEM.TXT configuration file that would match the example configuration: IP hosts with no network layer RDTs. Note here that since non-network layer RDTs are being used, entries are required in the [ip_map_id_table] for the IP hosts. The EDG Configuration Reference Manual contains a detailed explanation of each command. -
Page 12: Network Planning For Rdi Host Configurations
LBI-38962 NETWORK PLANNING FOR RDI HOST CONFIGURATIONS RDI hosts communicate directly to the EDG, through an HDI board, over 9600 baud asynchronous serial data links using the RDI protocol. Radio/RDI/RDT Host A Radio/RDI/RDT Host B Internal EDG Network RDI Host Network Radio/RDI/RDT EDACS Network internet with RDI hosts... - Page 13 LBI-38962 Radio/RDI/RDT LID 64 Host A GID 2 LID 61 Radio/RDI/RDT Host B LID 64 LID 62 GID 1 Internal EDG Network RDI Host Network Radio/RDI/RDT LID 64 GID 1 EDACS Network RDI Host internet with addresses assigned As mentioned previously, no IP addresses need to be assigned by the user in an RDI host only configuration ;...

Page 14: Sample System.txt File
LBI-38962 Sample SYSTEM.TXT File The following is a SYSTEM.TXT configuration file that would match the example configuration. The EDG Configuration Reference Manual contains a detailed explanation of each command. During the initial load analysis, it was found that host A would be lightly loaded, with a single serial link sufficient to handle all data traffic. -
Page 15: Network Planning For Combined Ip And Rdi Host Configurations
LBI-38962 NETWORK PLANNING FOR COMBINED IP AND RDI HOST CONFIGURATIONS Both IP and RDI hosts may exist in an EDACS system configuration. It is recommended that if you have not read the two previous sections, "Network Planning for IP Host Configurations" and "Network Planning for RDI Host Configurations", that you do so at this time. - Page 16 LBI-38962 In this example, we will use 200.0.0.0 as the RDI host network address, which is the default assigned by the EDG if none is specified by the user. The addresses for the other networks will be the same as in the IP host example. IP Host A IP Host B IP Host Network...
- Page 17 LBI-38962 We will use the same addresses as in the IP and RDI host examples, plus we now need to assign a unique IP address to each RDI host. In this example, we will just use the EDACS LID assigned to the RDI host as the Host ID portion of the IP address Note that this is the default value assigned by the EDG if an individual IP address is not specified for the RDI host.
