The individual management and IP address of the MPR-e radios are no longer required for network management. When managing a microwave network (consisting of a 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18 that is connected to one or more MPR-e radios) using an element/network manager, only the IP address of the 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18 needs to be entered. This capability optimizes the microwave network’s IP addressing plan.
