USB. The IP address obtained from the radio is not the real IP address set by the
infrastructure, but rather a dummy address. This dummy is configured in the radio via the
CPS Mobile Computer IP address parameter (by default 192.168.128.2).
When device LINxL level 0 is retrieved using the MC-EDGE STS Software Diagnostics
tool, the IP Address displayed is this dummy address and not the actual IP address
assigned by the infrastructure operator.
It is recommended to create two IP conversion tables:
1. The first is downloaded to the FIU or IP Gateway on the LAN and includes the site
and IP information for each RTU.
2. The second is downloaded to all RTUs which are connected to the infrastructure with
ASTRO IV&D radios, and includes the site and IP information for the FIU and IP
Gateway.
For detailed instructions on preparing the IP conversion table, refer to the “MDLC over
IP Communication” chapter of the ​ACE3600 STS Advanced Features ​manual.
