3.14 Module Information Configuration
Module Information Webpage Fields
This configuration page is primarily for information purposes. With the exception of the
password, the information entered here is displayed on the root webpage of the RM-90.
Password
Configuration password.
When changing the password on this screen, it
will be sent unencrypted over any wired net-
work. If encryption is enabled on the RM-90, any
radio communications are encrypted, and there-
fore hidden from radio eavesdroppers. Caution
must only be taken if there are potential eaves-
droppers on the wired network.
Device Name
A text field if you wish to label the particular
RM-90.
Owner
A text field for owner name.
Contact
A text field for owner phone number, email
address etc.
Description
A text field used for a description of the purpose
of the unit.
Location
A text field used to describe the location of the
RM-90.
3.15 Remote Configuration
Because a module configuration is viewed and changed in a web format (which is an
Ethernet application), you can view or change the configuration of a remote module via
the wireless link, provided the remote module is already “linked” to the local RM-90.
To perform remote configuration, connect a PC to the local module, run Internet
Explorer and enter the IP address of the remote unit – the configuration page of the
remote module will be shown and changes can be made. If the remote module is config-
ured as a Router, enter the wireless IP address of the router, not the Ethernet address.
Care must be taken if modifying the configuration of a module remotely
. If the
Radio Configuration is changed, some changes made may cause loss of the radio link, and
therefore the network connection.
It is advisable to determine path of the links to the modules you wish to modify, and
draw a tree diagram if necessary. Modify the modules at the “leaves” of your tree dia-
gram. These will be the furthest away from your connection point in terms of the number
of radio or Ethernet links.
In a simple system, this usually means modifying the Client modules first and the Access
Point last.
