Networking the GDP
Introduction
The easiest way to transfer files to or
from the GDP is over the network. The
GDP can either be connected directly to
a computer using a crossover cable, or
connected automatically to a LAN. The
network connection can be used to:
•
Retrieve data files from the GDP.
•
Transfer antenna cal files to the GDP.
•
Install the latest operating programs
on the GDP.
•
Place identical Time Schedules on
multiple GDPs.
Start the NET utility.
The symbols around the NET function key label indicate if the network is loaded or not.
If it is shown as +NET+, the network is currently loaded and ready for use. If it is shown
as -NET-, the network is not presently loaded and must be started.
Which type of connection are you using?
Directly to a computer– This type of connection is used mostly for transferring data files
to a laptop in the field. Requires manual settings on both the GDP and the computer.
To a Local Area Network– This type of connection is used in an office setting or a
connection to a router. Most often the network has a DHCP server so automatic settings
can be used. Otherwise, a valid IP address must be manually entered into the GDP.
When first powered up or after
a reset, the network will not be
loaded. At this point there are
three connection choices:
•
Connect to Computer
using Manual Settings
•
Connect to Network using
Automatic Settings
•
Connect to Network using
Manual Settings

  • Page 2: Connecting Directly To A Computer

    At this point, verify that the settings are correct. Also included here are troubleshooting instructions in case you are having difficulty with connecting. Press F1 (more) for more pages of instructions. Now connect the GDP to the computer using a crossover cable (Zonge PN: CROSS).
  • Page 3 Setting up the computer - To connect directly to a GDP using manual settings, the computer will need to be set up with either completely manual IP settings, or set up to use an Alternate Configuration. The Alternate Configuration is the best approach to use. That way whenever you connect the computer to a GDP, the same Alternate Configuration will be used and it will not need to be set up again.
  • Page 4 Click Change adapter settings: Double-Click Local Area Connection: Click Properties: Double-Click Internet … 4 (TCP/IPv4):...
  • Page 5 Click Alternate Configuration: Set up the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway as shown. It is best to have this computer at the base address of .002. That way if you have multiple GDPs connected through a network switch, they can each have a unique address .
  • Page 6 Connecting the GDP to a LAN - With the GDP connected to a Local Area Network that has a DHCP server, the GDP will be able to obtain its IP settings automatically. This is especially convenient because any computer on the network will be able to map a drive to the GDP and access it.
  • Page 7 Accessing GDP using an FTP client - Computers that are running Windows 10 cannot use a Mapped Network Drive to access the GDP. Some networks also do not allow this. If this is the case, an FTP client can be used to provide complete access to the flash disk of a GDP.
  • Page 8 Mapping a Network Drive to the GDP - To access the flash disk of a GDP, its drive can be mapped to a local drive letter using the Windows Map Network Drive feature. Start Windows Explorer : (Holding down the Windows key while pressing E is a shortcut) Click on Map network drive.
  • Page 9 GDP program files, antenna calibrate files, board calibrate files, and un-archived data caches and utility programs are on the root of the GDP drive. Archived data caches are stored in the DATA folder.
  • Page 10 Troubleshooting Problems with Networking - Here are some steps to follow if the network connection cannot be established: • Verify that you are using a crossover cable. • Verify that the computer indicates that a cable is connected. This would be indicated in the Network and Sharing Center, or by the network icon in the lower right of the screen.
  • Page 11 Type ipconfig on the command line: If these numbers are not correct, wait another two minutes and try again. If it is still incorrect, retry the setup procedure. Otherwise more detailed troubleshooting will be required. Note that if the computer is connected to a network and has an automatic IP address, these numbers must be what was assigned by the DHCP server.
  • Page 12 From the main menu of the GDP, press F8 (DOS). Then type ipconfig: Verify that the IP Address and the Subnet Mask are correctly reported. If it is an automatic IP address, these numbers should be compatible with the rest of the network. Note that you will not be able to ping from the GDP to the Computer due to security settings.
