Periodically force modem reset if no call received (Y/N)? Y (normally “N”)
Reset modem if more than __ hours pass since last call (1-72)? 25
Reset Modem Now? y
The access point name and security settings are the same name that you would use connecting a laptop to
your wireless network.
If your network automatically assigns IP addresses, answer yes for DHCP On. If answered “yes”, you will not
be asked for the various IP addresses. If “no”, you’ll need to set the device’s IP address, the gateway address
and the subnet mask.
The option is given to periodically reset, or reboot, the WiFi modem. In most cases this should be left off.
However, if a site has intermittent connection issues, the modem can be set to automatically reset if it nothing
connects to it for the set amount of hours. For instance, if the WiFi is only used to remotely gather totals every
night at 2:00 AM, then a setting for 25 hours will cause a reboot if no connection was seen by 3:00 AM the
following day.
Lastly, you’ll be asked if you wish to reset the modem now. Normally answer “y”. If you need to change a
setting, answer “n” then use “SET WIFI” to correct the setting. If no restart is performed, the settings won’t take
effect until the next restart.
NOTE:
This only resets the modem, not the entire FSC3000
™
; however, if you are connected
via WiFi, this will drop your connection.
Once the modem resets (using a PC connected on the same network) login to the FSC3000
™
using a
terminal emulation program with the IP address of the socket modem.
SHOW WiFi – If “Set WIFI” hasn’t been used to give the modem any settings, “SHOW WIFI” will report:
Wi-Fi not set yet, use SET WIFI
The “Show WiFi” command will first tell what socketdevice the flags are set for, if any. If it reports “No Modem
Enabled” or “Cell Modem Enabled”, for example, then the wrong flag is set. If a modem is plugged in and set
up, the command-line will resemble the following:
P>show wifi
WiFi Modem Enabled
Access Point Name (APNSERV): MyWirelessRouter (Router-specific response)
WiFi Security: WPA2 (Recommended)
Security Key: MyPassword (Router-specific response)
Static IP Address: 192.168.1.200
Gateway Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: “255.255.255.0”
Port Number: 10001
Periodic WiFi resets: Off
WiFi status: Configured
Show Modem Responses (Y/N)? N
SHOW SYSTEM
As part of the “Show System” command, if the option flag for the
WiFi
modem has been set, just after version
information, it should show “WiFi Modem:” followed by:
Not Found
: Either there is no physical modem plugged into the socket, or it is not communicating
