3.2 ACCESSING THE MENU SYSTEM

The radio has no external controls. All configuration, diagnostics and

control is performed electronically using a connected PC. This section

explains how to connect a PC, log in to the radio, and access the built-in

menu screens.

3.2.1 Methods of Control

The radio configuration menus may be accessed in several ways:

• Local Console—This is the primary method used for the exam-

ples in this manual. Connect a PC directly to the COM 1 port on

the radio using a serial communications cable and launch a ter-

minal communications program such as HyperTerminal. This

method provides text-based access to the radio menu. Console

control is a hardware-based technique, and is intended for local

use only.

• Telnet*—Connect a PC to the LAN port on the radio, either

directly or via a network, and launch a Telnet session. This

method provides text-based access to the radio menu, similar to

a Local Console session. Telnet sessions may be run locally or

remotely through an IP connection.

• Web Browser*—Connect a PC to the LAN port on the radio,

either directly or via a network, and open a Web browser (Inter-

net Explorer, Netscape, etc.) This method provides a graphical

representation of each screen, just as you see when viewing an

Internet Web site. The menu screens look a little different from

other methods of control, but the content and organization of

screen items is similar. Web browser sessions may be run

locally or remotely via the Internet.

* Telnet and Web browser sessions require the use of a straight-through or Ethernet crossover

cable, depending on the whether the PC-to-radio connection is made directly or through an

Ethernet switch or hub. For direct connection, a crossover cable is required; for connection

via a switch or hub, a straight-through cable is needed.

To identify the cable type, hold the two cable ends side by side and in the same plug

orientation (that is, both locking tabs are up or down). Now look at the individual wire colors

on each plug. If the wires on both plugs are ordered in the same sequence from left to right,

the cable is a straight-through type. If they are not in the same order, it may be a crossover

cable, or it may be wired for some other application. Refer to DATA INTERFACE

CONNECTORS on Page 187 for detailed pinout information.
