You must transfer these settings to the Master radio in order for these changes to
take effect. ControlScape FH will update the radio’s internal settings through the
Ethernet connection between your computer and the radio.
Important: The serial port on the bottom of the radio, labeled RS-232, is
reserved for connections to external network devices, and cannot be used to
configure the radio.
Important: Please allow sufficient time for the radio to power up and respond to
discovery or configuration requests. In some instances, the radio may require up
to 90 seconds to become responsive.
1 Connect the AC power adapter cord to the port labeled 10 - 24 VDC 6W on
the bottom of the radio, and then plug the power adapter into an electrical
outlet.
2 Connect an Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port on the bottom of the radio.
o If you are connecting through an Ethernet switch or hub to the radio, use
the Gray (straight-through) cable to connect the radio to the switch or hub.
o If you are connecting directly from your PC to the radio, use the Red
(crossover) cable to connect to the radio from the Ethernet port on your
PC.
When the radio is powered up, it will go through a brief self-test during which the
LEDs on the front of the radio will illuminate. The Power/Status LED should be
green, meaning that the radio has power.
