To fully understand radio management for the Access5830 system, it is important to be familiar with the concept of 
operation mode or “Opmode.”   
 
APs can be in one of two Opmodes: Opmode “OFF” or Opmode “AP.”   When in Opmode “OFF,” the radio is not 
transmitting, and is not attempting to associate with the SUs.  Alternatively, when in Opmode “AP,” the radio is 
transmitting, and is attempting to associate with the SUs.   Similarly, SUs have two Opmodes: Opmode “SU” and 
Opmode “OFF.”   
 
Certain functions, such as the site survey function and the SU RSSI function can only be performed while the radio is in 
Opmode “OFF.”  See Appendix D – Command Set Reference for a complete listing of commands, and the appropriate 
Opmode(s) for each command.

Notes about Switch Settings 
Access5830 firmware includes several “switches” that are used to set certain operational parameters of the radios.  Switch 
settings can be changed using the HTTP browser interface or the Command Line Interface.  For purposes of TCP/IP radio 
management, the following three switches are important: 

SU Switch 6 - TCP/IP access direct to SU from SU side of network requires that switch 6 (SW 6) be “ON.”  SW 6 was 
introduced with the FOX series subscriber units and v1.11 firmware for the M5830 Series SU.  Default setting for SW 
6 (from factory) is “ON.”  If SW 6 is off, TCP/IP access to the SU from the SU side of the network is possible only if 
the SU’s Opmode is “OFF.” 
 

SU Switch 2 - TCP/IP access to the SU from the AP side of network requires that the SU’s switch 2 (SW 2 – TCP/IP 
for AP) be “ON.”  Default setting for SW 2 (from factory) is “ON.” 
 

AP and SU Switch 5 – In order to utilize the radio’s HTTP Browser interface, switch 5 (SW 5) must be “ON.”  
Default setting for SW 5 (from factory) is “ON.” 

 

The HTTP browser interface is an easy-to-use, configuration and management tool.  The web pages originate from the 
radio itself, so no additional software is needed on the managing PC other than a web browser.   
   
The browser interface’s functionality is a subset of the commands available in the command line interface (CLI).  To use 
the browser interface, the following must be present: 

•  An Ethernet connection between a PC and the radio 
•  Set your PC’s Ethernet properties to a subnet that is routable to the radio (radio default IP 

address=192.168.100.100) 

•  A web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer)
