“General Configuration” screen
The following fields are displayed:
Device Name/Location:
This field accepts text data to name this radio or location. This is
only used to help the network administrator identify this radio from others.
Host Name:
This is the host name.
Domain Name:
Enter the domain name of this radio in this field, if desired. This information
is text only, and has no impact on network operation.
Contact:
Enter the name of the network administrator or individual responsible for this
equipment, if desired.
System Time and Date:
The time and date may be entered manually, synced with the PC’s
internal clock, or downloaded from an NTP Server. The radio uses a super capacitor to allow
it to retain the date and time in the event of a power outage.
To use an NTP server, the PC must either be connected to the LAN/WAN where it resides
or the PC can be connected to the Internet. Either way, enter the server address. One
example is the University of Houston’s NTP server, which requires the address be entered
as follows:
tick.uh.edu
Click the “Submit” button to write the configuration to the radio.
If no functions are performed for 10 minutes, the program will exit and all parameters must
be re-configured. It is generally good practice to click the “Submit” button after all
parameters are entered on each screen.
