Configuration
There are different ways of configuring the EPAs for operation:
Easy Config (“MODE” button)
Typical operating modes, such as direct connection of two EPAs as a “wireless Ethernet ca-
ble”, can be directly activated via the “MODE” button on the EPA without the need for a PC.
A detailed description can be found in Section 3.1 “Easy Config (“MODE” button)” on
Web-based management (WBM)
To use all the important options, the device has a web-based management using a web
browser. This means that the current operating state can simply be displayed without the
use of special software or the device can be configured.
For parameter description, please refer to Section “Web-based management” on page 4-1.
AT commands
All the EPA parameters can be modified or transmitted to the EPA in an automated manner,
for example from a program of a controller. For development or testing purposes, AT com-
mands can also be transmitted to the EPA via the web-based management using the web
browser.
The AT command reference can be found, for example, in the web-based management ap-
plication under the “Help” menu item.
