5.1 Initial Configuration

This section describes setup of the radio for its first on-air operation. A
full description of operating settings is given in Section 6.0 on Page 36.

Web-Based Management

The Device Manager is the recommended method for user management.
It is a built-in software tool that works with your PC's browser to pro-
vide an intuitive, web-style presentation of all radio information, set-
tings, and diagnostics.
The Device Manager also contains a "wizard" function to assist in set-
ting up a radio with a minimum of user actions. Web management uses
the radio's Ethernet RJ-45 connector. See "Web Browser Connection"
on Page 30 for details.
