Web-Based Management; Web Browser Connection - GE MDS SD Series Technical Manual

Web-Based Management

The Device Manager is the recommended method for user management. It is a built-in software
tool that works with your PC's browser to provide an intuitive, web-style presentation of all ra-

The Device Manager also contains a "wizard" function to assist in setting up a radio with a min-
imum of user actions. Web management uses the radio's Ethernet RJ-45 connector. See "Web

dress via a serial/console connection (see Figure 27 ). The default address for a factory
