Both of these units are configured using:
•
LPManager software via Ethernet (preferred),
•
Telnet via Ethernet, or
•
Hyperterminal (or any terminal emulation software) via serial port
For the LAP-4200, both the Location Sensor and the embedded Access Point must
be independently configured. That is, both units must have their IP addresses
correctly specified. The communication connection can be switched between the
Location Sensor and the Access Point by typing ctrl-w.
5.1
Location Sensor Configuration
Location Sensors communicate over an Ethernet interface using TCP/IP. Each
Location sensor must be configured with a unique IP address. The IP address of
each LS must be recoded and entered into the WhereNet site file, which contains
the configuration information for each LS, including its location.
Each Location Sensor is shipped with a label set containing one label (Figure 9)
with the bar coded MAC address of the Location Sensor (and of the Access Point
if so equipped) and three labels with the last six characters of the Location
Sensor’s MAC address in large type. Ensure that the label is correct by matching
the MAC address(es) on the loose label set with the MAC address(es) listed on the
back of the Location Sensor. Place the loose bar code label in the site design
