>> Anyone familiar with the Teletronics Xi-1500 radio will

>> For example, on a backhaul link the status on the Xi-1500
>> shows that the link is connected to 192.168.253.110, which
>> is in fact the correct address of the radio on the other
>> side of the link. When I connect to that radio and look at
>> it's status page, it should show 192.168.253.109, which is
>> the radio that I just checked, but in fact it shows the IP
>> address of the workstation I'm connecting to it from.
