USER’S GUIDE MT7570 Vehicle Mount Terminal
Wireless Status
The wireless status frame displays the current access point association, network SSID, IP Address, the
MAC Address of the MT7570 radio, and the currently used encryption algorithm.
Link Quality Status
The Link Quality status bars graphically display the quality of the current association.
**NOTE: Signal Level and Noise Level are absolute values determined by the incoming access point
beacons. Link Quality, however, is a relative value that is determined by taking into account both the
Signal Level and Noise Level, along with other minor variables. These values should NOT be used to
determine access point placement or even network integrity. Even if the MT7570 is associated to the
access point and has a high Link Quality, the ability to actually transmit and receive data packets over
the wireless link may be flawed. The reverse is also true, even if the Link Quality is abnormally low, the
transmission of data may be working fine. These are presented as a reference point for the MT7570
only and cannot be compared to any other device.
Network Configuration
By tapping the “Network Configuration” button, the IP address assignment window will appear. The
MT7570 can be configured one of two possible ways:
Static Assignment:
All IP and routing settings should be entered in their appropriate box. These values will be network and
device dependent.
IP Address : The IP address that the MT7570 should use. This MUST be a unique IP address or
network problems will result.
Subnet Mask : The networks mask. This is dependent on the network implementation.
Gateway Address : The gateway server that the MT7570 should route packets to.
DNS Name Servers : The Domain Name Servers that the MT7570 should use for hostname
resolution.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
In DHCP (Automatic) mode, the MT7570 will broadcast a request for network settings during its boot. A
DHCP server can respond with all necessary information and the MT7570 will be automatically config-
ured.
