3.3 Default Configuration
The default factory configuration of the RM-240 is
… Client/Bridge/
… IP address192.168.0.1XX, where XX is the last two digits of the serial number
(the default IP address is shown on the printed label on the back of the module)
… netmask
255.255.255.0
… Username
is
“
user
” and the default password is “user”
The RM-240 will temporarily load some factory-default settings if powered up with the
Factory Default switch (on the end-plate of the module) in SETUP position. When in
SETUP mode, wireless operation is disabled. The previous configuration remains stored
in non-volatile memory and will only change if a configuration parameter is modified and
the change saved.
Do not forget
to set the switch back to the RUN position and cycle power at the conclusion
of configuration for resumption of normal operation.
3.4 Configuring the Unit for the First Time
The RM-240 has a built-in web server, containing webpages for analysis and modification
of configuration. The configuration can be accessed using Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
This program is shipped with Microsoft Windows or may be obtained freely via the
Microsoft® website.
Configuration of IP address, gateway address and subnet mask may also be accessed via
the RS 232 serial port.
Accessing Configuration for the first time
There are two methods for accessing the configuration inside a RM-240. The first method
requires changing your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the same
network as the RM-240 with factory default settings.
This is the preferred method
and is much less complicated than the second method. You will need a “straight-through”
Ethernet cable between the PC Ethernet port and the RM-240. The factory default
Ethernet address for the RM-240 is 192.168.0.1XX where XX are the last two digits of
the serial number (check the label on the back of the module).
The second method requires setting an IP address in the RM-240 such that it is acces-
sible on your network without having to change your network settings.
3.4.1 Set PC to same network as RM-240
Connect the Ethernet cable between unit and the PC configuring the module.
… Set the Factory Default Switch to the SETUP position. This will always start the RM-
240 with Ethernet IP address 192.168.0.1XX, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway
IP 192.168.0.1 and the radio disabled.
Do not forget
to set the switch back to the
RUN position and cycle power at the conclusion of configuration for resumption of
normal operation.
… Power up the RM-240 module.
Open “Network Settings” on your PC under Control Panel. The following description is
for Windows XP – earlier Windows operating systems have similar settings.
