Maintainer Guide

This section is intended for the Maintainer to setup the network and radios using a web browser
control interface�

Mesh Radio Configuration

The following web browser control interface is not required for normal operation. Web browser
control of the Mesh radio should only be undertaken by users wishing to achieve the following:
• Switch the operating mode of the radio
• Change the system frequency
• Change the system IP addresses
• Change the Encryption key
• Understand the RF performance of the system better
Maintainers should be very careful when using this interface because it is
entirely possible to make changes that will leave the unit inoperable,

Then connect the RJ45 connector to a PC�
• Open a web browser on the PC
• Type the IP address of the unit e�g� 192.168.1.180 into the address bar

To find IP address of the DropCam-SDR radio check the details of the external device in the radio
app of the TM-RX Receiver�
If the TM-RX Receiver is not being used in partnership with the DropCam-SDR then use the Node
Finder application to find the radio's IP address on the connected network.
