Cooper Bussmann 245U-E Wireless Ethernet Modem & Device Server User Manual
Rev Version 2.19
3.3 Quick Start Configuration
The 245U-E has a Quick Start Configuration option that covers most important parameters that are needed to
get an initial connection. This is the first stage of the module configuration. For most applications, no further
configuration is required. For more advanced applications, additional parameters can be changed via the normal
Configuration pages after the Quick Start configuration has been saved.
Figure 27 Quick Start
Quick Start Configuration:
1. Select
Quick Start
from the Main Menu and select the following parameters:
•
Operating Mod
e—Access Point or Client. Bridge operation is assumed. For router selection, go to the
Network page after Quick Start
•
Default Gateway
—This is the address that the device will use to forward messages to remote hosts that are
not connected to any of the local bridged networks (Ethernet or Wireless).
•
IP Address / Subnet Mask
—IP address and subnet mask for your application.
•
System Address (ESSID)
—The system address is a text string 1 to 31 characters long used to identify your
system.
•
Radio Encryption
—Radio encryption selection (None, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES) or WPA2). Refer to
“3.7 Security Menu” if WEP or enterprise encryption is required.
•
WPA Passphrase
—128-bit encryption keys are internally generated based on the passphrase and system
address (ESSID). The passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters long, and must be the same for all
245U-E units in the same system.
The default settings will be shown. If your system is connecting individual devices that are not connected to an
existing Ethernet LAN, you can use the factory default IP values. If you are connecting to an existing LAN, you
need to change the IP addresses to match your LAN addresses.
2. After configuring, click
Save to Flash and Reset
.
Radio Data Rate and Channel will be set to Auto, Radio Transmit Power will be set to maximum and any
previous configuration of unrelated parameters will not be modified and will still apply.
3.4 Network Configuration
You can view or modify Ethernet network parameters by selecting the Network menu. When prompted for the
username and password, enter “user” as the username, and “user” as the password. This is the factory default
setting. To change the default username and password, see “3.24 Module Information.” If you have forgotten the IP
address or password, the factory default switch may be used to access the existing configuration. Refer to previous
section for more information.
