Radio Management Access Via TCP/IP
The IP Address of an M900S radio is for management purposes only. The IP address is not used for purposes of routing or passing traffic. Users should take care to set appropriate IP schemes for all management activities including upgrading the radio’s firmware. It is not uncommon for users to assign public IP addresses to the radios so that they can be accessed from anywhere via the Internet. In order to gain TCP/IP access to SU (from either side of the wireless network), ensure that SU Switches 2 and 6 are turned on. In order to gain TCP/IP access to the AP from the SU side of the wireless network, ensure that AP Switch 7 is turned on.
SU Management from AP
The AP provides functionality and several commands that permit the management of associated SUs. In fact, most system management functions are performed by issuing commands from the AP. Presented below are a few examples of these commands:
su ping <suid> su status <suid>
su ipconfig <suid> <new IP> <new subnet> <new gateway>
su password <suid all> <rw ro> <new password> <new password>
su reboot <allsuid>
su testrflink <allsuid> [<r>] su sw <suid> <sw #> <onoff>
Note: SU commands issued from the AP will automatically update the SU’s flash memory. No save ss command is necessary.
As an example, you can remotely change the password for a single SU or all SUs in a sector:
su password <suid all> <rw ro> <new password> <new password>
Example:
#>su password all rw hello hello
to remotely change the read write password on all SUs to “hello”
As another example, to change an SU’s IP, subnet, and gateway: su ipconfig <suid> <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway>
Type the following:
#>su ipconfig 7 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1
In this example SU #7’s IP address was changed to 192.168.10.10, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway to 192.168.10.1.
A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix A – Command Set Reference.
