1 Introduction
The S6000 radio series1 has a built-in web server with a web interface to set up the radio and
channel settings. This web server constitutes the service tool and is intended for use by
authorized personnel only. The web interface is accessed from a computer connected to the
LAN and is displayed in an Internet browser. Currently only Mozilla Firefox is supported. No
additional installation of software is needed.
2 Connecting the radio to the service tool
2.1 Connecting to a radio without a network
The radio can be accessed using a standard PC with automatic network configuration.
Connect the radio to the computer using a LAN cable and the Ethernet interface. After startup of the radio, the radio’s current IP address will be visible in the SYSTEM SETUP menu on
the radio. For installed control units, the IP can be found in the menu CONTROLLER SETUP.
In these menus the item IP: appears with the radio’s IP-address.
Use Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and type the radio’s IP address in the address line of the browser.
EXAMPLE: http://169.254.70.103
This will open the default configuration page of the radio. Now you can configure the radio.
2.2 Connecting to a radio using a network
As soon as the radio is connected to the network and switched on, it attempts to require an
available IP address from the network. If this process is successful, then the radio has
received a network IP address. This address can be read out in the SYSTEM SETUP menu of
the radio or it can be found in the configuration of the network’s DHCP server. For installed
control units, the IP can be found in the menu CONTROLLER SETUP. If you want to see
the IP address in the DHCP server configuration, see the manual for the DHCP providing
equipment.
Use Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and type the radio’s IP address in the address line of the browser.
EXAMPLE: http:// 169.254.70.103
This will open the default configuration page of the radio. Now you can configure the radio.
