streaming and collection, it is easier to setup a MAC address filtering in the Access Point
itself.
In addition, the SSID beaconing can be disabled (also on the Access Point) to prevent
finding the name of the network, therefore allowing connection only to parties who know
the said SSID name.
In DHCP mode, there
’
s no need to fill in the gateway and mask fields as those will be
provided by their DHCP server.
The only other important parameters to be chosen are the recipient IP address (the IP of
the computer receiving the data) and the UDP port.

ID when using Multiple Devices
The ID is used to ease the data routing when identifying the R-IoT in the software
application. We suggest using both a port and ID based routing in order to ensure the
proper identification of the data flow source. A simple module convention makes it easy
to remember.
For example:
•
R-IoT module #0 uses port #8000
•
R-IoT module #1 uses port #8001
•
R-IoT module #8 uses port #8008
In the case the software application has limited flexibility for choosing the UDP port (or
when there's a single UDP port available for all input flows), the ID is then used to
separate and route the different modules.
Once the parameters are all set in the configuration page, click on submit button to save
the changes in the non-volatile memory of the R-IoT module, which can be rebooted to
apply the new settings (turn the device off and then on again or press the reset switch).
