4.3.1 Preparing & Connecting Your Computer

IMPORTANT: Ensure that your computer has its IP address set to operate within the same subnet as the Radar Sensor.

  • The IP address of the radar sensor is preset before leaving Navtech Radar Limited to a default value of 192.168.0.1 unless otherwise specified by the client.

  • 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.

  • Thus, 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.

NOTE: If you are connecting to the radar via an Ethernet switch rather than making a direct link, it is important that no other radar client software, such as Bloodhound, is already connected before using radar view.

...

You can connect your computer at any point along the signal link from the radar sensor, either directly into the sensor mounted socket; at the pole mounted enclosure (if the signal link is joined there) or at the far end of the link where it will join the RPU (Radar Processing Unit) system. 

NOTE: The sensor can be powered on or off while connecting and disconnecting the network link.

Setting the Service Date

Following a service procedure you need to register the next service due date within the radar sensor.

...

  1. Run SPXRadarView.exe. You should see a blank main screen:

    NOTE: In the lower panel, the Video and Turn indicators will be red to indicate that there is no communication with the sensor.

  2. Click the Channel-A menu and select the Source... option.

  3. Ensure that the Selection option is set to Network and in the section below, enter the IP Address of the sensor.

  4. The Port must be set to 6317.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Once the IP address and port are correctly set and the application makes contact with the sensor, the Video and Turn indicators should turn green. Shortly after, you should begin to see radar scan information within the main window:

  7.  If you see a response similar to that shown here, then you can be assured that the sensor is functioning correctly and can be remounted on its post and returned to service.
