Exciter Configuration    

21 

Exciters are configured using the AeroScout System Manager or MSE. The 
configuration settings consist of device installation and network definitions. 

The configuration procedure involves the following steps: 

1.  Connect all Exciters with a wired Ethernet connection to a dedicated segment. 

2.  Add the Exciters with the AeroScout System Manager, configure their 

parameters and define their IP settings (The preconfigured IP is supplied per 
Exciter).  

If you wish to later change the IP settings (IP, subnet, gateway or ports) you can 
do so by right-clicking on the Exciter and selecting IP Settings. 

3.  Check that the Exciter’s status is OK by right clicking on the Exciter icon and 

selecting Status. Also verify in the status window that the firmware versions 
(DSP and Second Boot) are compatible with the current installed Engine version 
and Exciter hardware version. Consult AeroScout Support regarding the 
appropriate firmware versions. 

4.  Position the Exciter in the site according to site survey recommendations, and 

mount it. 

5.  Align the Exciters’ positions according to the required area coverage. 

6.  If you wish to define the Exciter as an offline Exciter not connected to the 

network, you should approve the above configuration, wait for a confirmation, 
define the Exciter as disconnected from network from the Properties window, 
approve the settings again and disconnect the Exciter from the network. 

For more information please refer to the AeroScout Engine User’s Guide. 

The configuration procedure involves the following steps: 

1.  Open the WCS and select Configure, Chokepoints.
