Ethernet Access Requirements

A successful connection between a PC and an Eclipse radio via Ethernet requires the
following:
• An industry-standard 10Base-T or 10/100Base-T LAN card installed on your PC.
• Knowledge of the IP address and subnet mask settings for the Eclipse radio to be
connected to.
• Entry of a network-compatible IP address and subnet mask on your PC. This enables
your PC to be recognized on the Eclipse management network. Refer to
Your PC TCP/IP Properties on page
For an existing Eclipse network, the IP address, subnet mask and terminal name
should be recorded on a tag/sticker on or adjacent to each radio. Otherwise, contact
the network administrator to secure a list of IP address details for all radios.
NOTE:
If you do not know the IP address of an Eclipse radio, the Portal
auto-discovery mechanism will in most instances return the IP
address and terminal name.
For a new Eclipse network or for additions to an existing network, the network
administrator provides the IP address and subnet mask settings to be loaded into the
new radios.
NOTE:
Do not use the address range from 192.168.255.0 to
192.168.255.255 as these addresses are used for internal
(embedded) addressing within Eclipse.
If in doubt about Ethernet access and PC settings, contact your network
administrator or IT manager for assistance.
