• RS-485 LED is green, indicating the throughput to the access point is greater than 10 Mbps. If the LED were
red, it would mean the throughput is between 10 Mbps and 4 Mbps.
NOTE Advanced configuration settings such as Serial or I/O Transfer should be disabled, and if using the
throughput test, the Iperf server option on the Advanced Radio Settings page for the access point must be
enabled.

4.8 Remote Configuration
Because a module configuration is viewed and changed in a Web format (which uses TCP/IP protocol), you can
view or change the configuration of a remote module via the wireless link, provided the remote module already
has a wireless link established to the local 245U-E. To perform a remote configuration, connect a PC to the local
module, run Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the remote unit (or device name if using DNS). The
Configuration page of the remote module will appear and changes can be made.
NOTE Care must be taken if modifying the configuration of a module remotely. If the radio configuration
is changed, some changes made may cause loss of the radio link, and therefore loss of the network
connection.
It is advisable to determine the path of the links to the modules you wish to modify and draw a tree diagram, if
necessary. Modify the modules at the “leaf nodes” of your tree diagram. These will be the furthest away from your
connection point in terms of the number of radio or Ethernet links. In a simple system, this usually means modifying
the client modules first and the access point last.
