System Considerations
IP Networking Considerations
•
For ASTRO® 25 systems, all equipment (IP Comparators, HIB-IP units, MCN Server, and
Clients) must be located at the proper sites and connected to the proper IP switches according to
the Motorola IP Plan (per specific ASTRO® 25 release).
•
For ASTRO® 25 systems, the appropriate CTI Products, Inc. equipment must be enabled in the
MSI TNCT tool (done at the factory) to enable appropriate IP routing for the CTI Products
hardware and software.
•
For operation on other systems, the installer should consult with the customer's network
engineers for proper settings.
•
IP network infrastructure equipment (switches, routers, etc.) must be configured properly to
allow communication between the IP comparators, the MCN Server 8000, HIB-IP units, and the
MCN Clients.
•
The IP network routers and switches must be configured to pass IP Multicast traffic from the
MCN Server to the Clients.
•
The system requires static IP addresses for the following items:
MCN Server 8000 PC
ClientRCD PCs
HIB-IP units
GCM 8000 & MLC 8000 IP Comparators
Multicast IP Address for Server to Client traffic.
All IP addresses, IP Subnets, and Subnet Masks should be set based on the proper settings for
the particular system.

Co-Habbed on an NM Client PC.
•
For ASTRO® 25 7.13 systems, ClientRCD software may be installed on:

•
For ASTRO® 25 7.13 systems, the various components of an MCN system (MCN Server
8000, Client RCD, HIB-IP units, and IP comparators cannot bridge the RNI-CEN demarcation
point. There are two possible configurations:
a. All components must be within the RNI or
b. All components must be outside the RNI in the CEN.
