SEM2411D Quick Start Guide
The SEM2411D comes with the items shown below.
Identify the various components before beginning.
Connect power by plugging one end of the wall-mount power supply into the
SEM2411D and the other end into a wall outlet. A green LED on the SEM2411D
will turn on indicating power is present. The SEM2411D is set up to use the
Ethernet Cable to connect to a PC ( A Crossover Ethernet Cable is provided to
connect the SEM2411D to a hub or router). Plug one end of the Ethernet Cable
into the SEM2411D and the other end into the PC or network using the
appropriate cable.
A pair of SEM2411Ds is setup by performing the following steps:
1a - Assign IP addresses to the SEM2411Ds using a DHCP server... OR
1b - Assign IP addresses to the SEM2411Ds using the IP Hunter Utility
which is included on the SEM2411D Install CD. (See Page 2)
2 - Set one SEM2411D to be the Master using the HTML Browser Session.
(See Page 3)
3 - Run a communications test. (See Page 3)
1a - Assign IP addresses to the SEM2411Ds using a DHCP or
BOOTP server
The SEM2411D is shipped from the factory set up to receive its IP address from
a DHCP or BOOTP server. If a server is not available, please go to step 1b to
manually assign the IP addresses. Verify the Ethernet Link LED is green. After a
few seconds, the DHCP or BOOTP server can be queried to determine the IP
address assigned. The MAC address of the SEM2411D is on the side of the unit
and the default host name is “Cirronet_SEM”.
Note: SEM2411Ds are shipped from the factory with the IP address set to
0.0.0.0.

(This guide is intended for users familiar with Ethernet networks. Users unfamiliar with Ethernet
networks should consult the Users Manual located on the SEM2410D Install CD.)
This indicates a valid Ethernet connection to the network. Also verify the RF
Link LED on the Slave SEM2411D is on. This indicates that the Slave
SEM2411D has linked to the Master SEM2411D through the wireless
connection. (The RF Link LED is on for the Master SEM2411D when any one
Slave SEM2411D is linked.) If a DHCP or BOOTP server is being used, the
Slave SEM2411D will be assigned an IP address immediately after linking with
the Master. If a DHCP or BOOTP server is not available, the IP address of the
Slave SEM2411D must be set manually. (Refer to Step 1b.) Once the Slave
SEM2411D is linked with the Master SEM2411D, from a PC on the network,
“ping” the Master SEM2411D. (Use the Ping program under Windows and the
IP address assigned to the Master SEM2411D.)
Note: If a router is between the PC and the SEM2411D, check with your
network administrator to make sure the router will pass the pings through.
Next, from the same PC, ping the Slave SEM2411D by using the Slave
SEM2411D IP address instead of the Master IP address. This ping operation will
exercise the wireless link between the Master and Slave SEM2411Ds.
If the Slave SEM2411D is connected to an Ethernet device that supports pings,
ping that device by using its IP address in place of the Slave SEM2411D's IP
address. These ping tests validate the entire link from the central wired network
to the end Ethernet device.
Additional settings are available for issues such as;
• Avoiding interference with 802.11 Wireless Ethernet LANs
• Co-locating multiple radio networks
• Conforming to European power requirements
Please refer to the User's Manual on the CD to use the advanced configuration
settings and RF tools for additional SEM2411D settings or if any problems are
encountered.
