If you are configuring a new radio, then continue to the System tab.
If you are editing an existing radio configuration and would like to save your new configuration to a file (to
share with other radios on your network), click Export, then click Save to upload the new configuration to the
radio.
Description
Enter a description (max. 50 characters). The radio description name
you enter displays in the Real Time Network Scan list.
This field will be greyed out as the system defaults the Master radio to a
unit address of 0. This cannot be overridden.
This lets you select an address number that is associated to a particular
radio network. By default, this is set to 0. If you have more than one
network, it is recommended to have a different address for each
network. The network address needs to match in each radio in the
particular network for proper communication.
This lets you select a hop pattern value for the network. By default, this
is set to 11. It is recommended to select a value that is different from
the hop pattern of other Encom equipment. The primary hop pattern
needs to match in each radio in the particular network for proper
communication.
Click this checkbox to enable a HARMONY device to function as a
Repeater in your system. Failure to enable this option on this Master IP
I/O8 can cause incorrect communication to occur.
Output Power is adjustable from a minimum of 1mW up to a maximum
of 1W.
Click this checkbox to enable the RF Noise Filter if the system has a
strong receive signal. This will improve data integrity.
Your radio requires an IP Address to communicate through the Ethernet
LAN Port.
Use the Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) option to
automatically assign an IP Address to your radio.
Use this option when you need to manually enter the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information provided by your I.T.
department.
