Figure 18 - Quick Start
The WI-MOD-E has a Quick Start Configuration option, which will cover most important parameters that are needed to get
an initial connection. This is the first stage of the module configuration. For most applications, no further configuration is
required. For more advanced applications, the other parameters can be changed via the normal configuration pages after
the Quick Start configuration has been saved.
Select “Quick Start” from the Main Menu and then you need to select the following parameters:
Quick Start Configuration
Operating Mode
Access Point or Client. Bridge operation is assumed - for Router
selection, go to the Network page after Quick Start
Default Gateway
This is the address that the device will use to forward messages to remote
hosts that are not connected to any of the local bridged network (Ethernet
or Wireless)
IP Address / Subnet Mask
IP Address and Subnet Mask for your application.
System Address (ESSID)
The system address is a text string 1 to 31 characters in length used to
identifies your system
Radio Encryption
Radio encryption selection - None, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES) or
WPA2 – refer to “Security Menu” if WEP or Enterprise encryption is
required.
WPA Passphrase
128bit Encryption keys are internally generated based on the Passphrase
and System Address (ESSID). The Passphrase must be between 8 and
63 characters in length, and must be the same for all WI-MOD-E units in
the same system.
The default settings will be shown. If your system is connecting individual devices which are not connected to an existing
Ethernet LAN, then you can use the factory default IP values. If you are connecting to an existing LAN, then you need to
change the IP addresses to match your LAN addresses.
After configuring, select “Save to Flash and Reset”.
Radio Data Rate and Channel will be set to Auto, Radio Transmit Power will be set to maximum and any previous
configuration of unrelated parameters will not be modified, and will still apply.
