Preparing the laptop
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your laptop has its IP address set to operate within the same
subnet as the radar sensor
subnet as the radar sensor
2.5.1
Factory settings
The IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) of the radar sensor is preset before leaving Navtech Radar
Limited according to client specifications and will be declared on a label attached to the outer
casing.
The subnet mask of the radar sensor is often preset to 255.255.255.0 but could also be set
wider (such as 255.255.0.0) if requested. Therefore, if the sensor IP address is 192.168.0.1 and
the mask is 255.255.255.0, then your computer must use an IP address in the range:
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
2.5.2
Changing factory settings
The IP address and subnet mask can be changed using firmware commands sent to the radar
either via Telnet (see [5]), or using a serial connection (see [D3]).
2.6
Connecting your laptop
1.
At the radar, connect the laptop via CAT5 cable to the radar.
2.
Ensure that the radar sensor is powered on and is rotating - you can faintly hear the rotor
when it is running.
3.
Use SPx Radar View application [1] to display the radar data. (See Annex A )
2.7
Levelling radar sensor
For optimum detection performance it is important that each sensor is level in relation to the
area that it surveys. Level in this sense may not mean absolutely horizontal, generally the radar
will be levelled so as to scan parallel to the boom they are to protect.
The exaggerated examples below show how a sensor with an incorrect incline could miss
targets which are lower down the slope:
