Open the client manager for the wireless adapter to setup a configuration profile. You can generally access
the client manager icon in the tool tray.
Verify the client manager has the following settings:
•
Connected to network: GRIDCONNECT (or your specific network name)
Verify that the wireless adapter is connected to the Access point and has a good signal.
At this point, you should be able to access the Wi232 through a wireless connection.
•
If you assigned the Wi232 an IP address, you can use the
Web-Manager
in
Device Installer
to
configure the unit to work with your application. Before you do that, you may want to try the Quick
Test in the next section to verify the unit can send and receive data between the serial port and the
Ethernet port. Continue with
Configuration Using Web-Manager
on page
3-1
.
•
If you did NOT assign an IP address, and allowed the unit to acquire a DHCP or AutoIP address,
then you will need to locate the unit on the network and determine the IP address. The best way to
locate the unit is with the Device Installer utility included on the software CD. Please read the
Device Installer User Guide, Dev_Inst_UG_800233_x.pdf, before installing the software.
•
Once you determine the IP address, try the Quick Test in the next section to verify the unit can send
and receive data between the serial port and the Ethernet port. You can continue to configure the
device by going to
Configuration Using Web-Manager
on page
3-1
.
To configure the Wi232 with a serial port connection, see
Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
on
page
