SpeedNet Client Tool
NOTICE
A login from the SpeedNet Client Tool is somewhat different from other logins, such as
telnet or remote desktop sessions . The communication between the client tool and the
radio is fundamentally transactional . When the user logs in using the SpeedNet Client
Tool, the client tool contacts the radio via SNMPv3/UDP/IP using the username and
password credentials provided, and it attempts to fetch the radio’s configuration information .
If the credentials are incorrect, the client tool informs the user that the login failed . If the
credentials are correct, the client tool displays basic configuration information just fetched
in the upper right corner of the
Main window, and shows the Status as being connected .
Each subsequent transaction, until the client tool is directed to a new radio, is individually
authenticated via SNMPv3 using the credentials provided by the user at the start of the
session and stored in the client tool . No state of the SpeedNet Client Tool session is stored
in the radio, and the client tool does not poll the radio to update displayed information
between user transactions . Thus, the radio can have several client tools from different
PCs logged in at the same time . Also, the radio can undergo changes such as a reboot
behind the client tool session with no impact on the client tool, except that transaction
attempts (e .g . changing to another client tool tab or clicking an
Apply button) during the
reboot will not function .

Figure 51. Configuration of the Ethernet interface.
Figure 51 shows the
Ethernet Interface
configuration window. On a given SpeedNet ME
Radio mesh, the configurations of all the Ethernet interfaces should differ such that there
is no overlap between the Ethernet port subnets nor between the Ethernet port subnets
and the wireless subnet.
The
Interfaces
window provides tabs that can be used to configure each interface of
the SpeedNet ME Radio. The tab will provide a list of configurable options for the selected
interface.
The
Ethernet
tab, shown in Figure 51, is used to configure the SpeedNet ME Radio’s
Ethernet interface. The following parameters can be configured:
•
MAC ID
—This read-only field displays the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address
of the SpeedNet ME Radio. No two network devices will use the same MAC address.
•
IP Address
—Specifies the IP address of the Ethernet interface of the SpeedNet ME
Radio. The default IP address is 192.168.200.1.
