This section describes a procedure for quickly installing the Wi232 through the serial port.
2.1 Required Information
2.1.1 Hardware Address
You need to know the unit's hardware address (also known as MAC address), which is on the manufacturers
ID label on the bottom of the unit. It is in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs are unique
numbers assigned to the product.

2.1.2 WLAN Settings
Your Wi232 must have a unique IP address on your network. The systems administrator generally provides
the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. If you leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, the
Wi232 will attempt to get a DHCP address from the wireless Access Point or network server. If it cannot get
a DHCP address, it will use AutoIP to assign an IP address.
Before the Wi232 can communicate on an 802.11b wireless network, the WLAN settings must match the
wireless network. By default, the Wi232 is set to
Infrastructure
network mode and its wireless Network
Name (SSID) is
LTRX_IBSS
. You will need to change the Network Name (SSID) to the name used by
your wireless Router or Access Point.
