Industrial Hotspot
5.3.2 Assign IP
If the radio is connected to a network with a DHCP server, the radio may already
have an IP address assigned to it. If no address appears, double-click the radio
listing in the RLX-IH Browser or select Assign IP in the AP Operations menu. In
the next window, click OK to accept the temporary IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. If necessary, you can enter a particular IP address (see Radio
Access settings (page 55)). After an IP address is assigned, you can configure
radios through the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility (page 31).
5.3.3 Update Firmware
"Firmware" is the program that runs in the Industrial Hotspot that allows it to
communicate and exchange data between devices, using the radio as a network
connection. Different versions of the firmware communicate with other radios in
different ways, and provide different levels of functionality.
In order for your RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot radio to communicate with other
RLXIB devices, all radios on the network must use the same firmware version.
