Operating Mode
Used to select Access Point (Infrastructure), Client (Infrastructure),
IBSS (Ad-Hoc), or MONITOR mode.
By default this is set to Client.
Device Mode
Used to select Bridge or Router mode.
By default this is set to Bridge.
FTP Enabled
This enables access to volatile memory storage on the WI-MOD-E.
By default this is disabled.
MAC Address
This is the unique hardware address of the WI-MOD-E, assigned in
the Factory. For the majority of systems, this item should not be
changed.
If the device is to be connected to equipment that will only
communicate with a set MAC Address, the WI-MOD-E may clone
that MAC address.
Gateway IP Address
This is only required if the wired LAN has a Gateway unit which
connects to devices beyond the LAN - for example, Internet
access. If there is no Gateway on the LAN, set to the same address
as the Access Point - that is, the “Ethernet IP Address” below.
Ethernet IP Address
The IP address of the WI-MOD-E on its wired Ethernet port. This
should be set to the IP address you require.
Ethernet IP Subnet
Mask
The IP network mask of the WI-MOD-E on its Ethernet port. This
should be set to the IP address you require.
Wireless IP Address
The IP address of the WI-MOD-E on the wireless port. If the unit is
configured as a bridge this address will be the same as the Ethernet
IP address. If configured as a router, the IP address must be different
from the Ethernet IP Address - it must be consistent with the LAN it
is connecting to on the wired side.
Wireless IP Subnet
Mask
The network mask of the WI-MOD-E on the radio port. If
configured as a Bridge, this must be the same as the Ethernet IP
Subnet Mask.
System Address (SSID) A WI-MOD-E network comprises modules with the same "system
address”. Only modules with the same system address will
communicate with each other. The system address is a text string 1
to 31 characters in length. Select a text string which identifies for
your system.
Desired BSSID
To force a client/station to always connect to the same Access Point
enter the MAC address of that Access Point in the Desired BSSID
field (Note that the SSID of the Access Point must also match the
configured SSID of the client).
