CONFIGURATION
4.1
Before Configuring
Configuration comprises selecting parameter values for the operation of the 905U-E unit. Before
you start configuration, parameter settings must be decided. The main parameters are:-
•
Addressing – System address, IP address, Network mask, Gateway IP address.
•
Device Mode – Bridge or Router
•
Operating Mode – Access Point or Client.
•
Encryption
The other configuration parameters do not need to be selected, and are provided as a means of
"fine tuning" the operation of the 905U-E units.
Configuration may be achieved using only Windows Internet Explorer ®.
4.2
Addressing
A 905U-E network comprises modules with the same "system" address. The system address is
text string 1 to 31 characters in length. Only modules with the same system address will
communicate with each other. If you are adding another module to an existing system, use the
same value as the existing modules. If you are starting a new system, select random values and
use the same value for each module.
The Device Mode must also be selected. If you wish to link a single network together, then set
Device Mode to Bridge. If two separate networks are to be joined then Device Mode should be
set to Router.
IP addresses and netmasks must be set to reflect the Device Mode configured. If the unit is
configured as a Router, then the 905U-E requires an IP address and netmask to be set for within
each of the networks it is joining. When configured as a Bridge, the 905U-E requires only one IP
address.
4.3
Default Configuration
The default configuration of the 905U-E is a Bridge, Client, IP address 192.168.123.123,
netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway IP address 192.168.123.1. Default username is “
user
” and the
default password is “
user
” for configuration.
The module may be forced to factory default setting by using the default configuration dipswitch
or via the
System Tools
menu via Internet Explorer.
