Setup Menu
The EUM3006 is equipped with a simple setup menu through which you can monitor the RF
link quality and view the key parameters of the modem.
3.1 Accessing the Setup Menu
The setup menu is accessed by connecting a Telnet session to the ‘local link’ IP address of
the EUM3006, 169.254.10.250, with password = ‘setup’. The connection must be through the
Ethernet port, not over the air via the RF link.
The computer needs to have an IP address of 169.254.x.y with a 16 bit mask (255.255.0.0),
where x and y can be any value from 0 to 255 except for 10.250, 0.0, or 255.255. It is
recommended that the address 169.254.10.251 be used unless another address is more
convenient. This address will be used throughout.
The following assumes the computer has a Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system.
Other operating systems can be used provided the computer has an IP address of
169.254.10.251 and can use ‘ping’ and ‘telnet’ programs.
On Windows 2000, XP and similar systems, the IP Address is set using the Control Panel >
Network and Dialup Connection > Local Area Connections > right mouse click to select
Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties.
Once the computer’s IP address is set to 169.254.10.251, open a DOS command window and
try to ping the EUM3006, using the command “ping 169.254.10.250”. If the EUM3006 does not
respond, verify the Ethernet cables are connected correctly, that PoE Injector has power and
that the computer has the correct address and net mask.
When the EUM3006 replies to the ping command, establish a telnet session with the
command “telnet 169.254.10.250”.
Once a telnet connection is established, a password is requested. Enter “setup”, which will
enter the setup menu.
