The Wavence MPT Craft Terminal Launcher (MCT Launcher) is an application that runs on a Windows PC. By connecting the PC to the 7705 SAR out-of-band Management (Mgmt) port on the active CSM, local MPT radios can be configured and monitored using this application.
To reach both local and remote MPT radios, the PC must be connected to an Ethernet data port on an adapter card and requires a service access point (SAP) to enable in-band management. An IES service together with a local DHCP server configured on the 7705 SAR provides this capability to on-site technicians.
The following output shows a configuration example for a local DHCP server and an IES service.
