4.2 Configuration Software

4.2.1

Software Installation

To configure the device easily you can use the installation wizard. This procedure allows
you to install and run ' MG Device Wiz’ for STE02W devices configuration. ‘Mg Device Wiz’
allows  you  to  automatically  detect  the  device  in  the  network  which  has  been  linked  and
initialize  the  main  parameters  for  its  proper  functioning  as  well,  and  access  to  the  WEB
interface.  Also  optionally  installs  a  third-part  drivers  needed  to  work  in  Real  Port  mode.
Using this driver a virtual COM port is redirect on ethernet port and physically remoted to
STE02W serial port. The Java Virtual Machine required to view the configuration interface
via browser is included in this installation procedure and is still available on the provided
CD.
