3.5 Network Configuration
After configuring the Quick Start page, you can view or modify Ethernet network param-
eters by selecting the “Network” menu. When prompted for username and password,
enter “user” as the username, and the previously configured password in the password
field.
If IP address or password has been forgotten, the Factory Default switch may be used to
access the existing configuration. Refer to section 3.3 above.
After the addresses are configured, it is important to save the configuration by selecting
“Save and Reboot”.
Network Settings Webpage Fields
Device Mode
Used to select Bridge or Router mode.
By default this is set to Bridge.
Operating Mode
Used to select Access Point or Client mode.
By default this is set to Client.
Bridge Priority
The priority of the RM-90, if configured as a bridge, in the
Bridge Spanning Tree algorithm. By default this is set to
the lowest priority at 255.
This setting will have no effect and should not be used
unless the redundant wireless links are being used. This is
explained in Section 3.9
MAC Address
This is the unique hardware address of the RM-90,
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 RM-90
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 exam-
ple, 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 RM-90 on its Ethernet port. This
should be set to the IP address you require.
Ethernet IP Subnet Mask
The IP network mask of the RM-90 on its Ethernet port.
This should be set to the IP address you require.
Wireless IP Address
The IP address of the RM-90 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.
