Configure the Radio Parameters
Next, you will configure the essential radio parameters required for the modems to communicate
with each other. These parameters must be the same for all modems that are communicating
within the system, and also need to be implemented for a bridge network.
1. If the Quick Start page is not already displayed, click
Quick Start
on the home page menu.
2. On the Quick Start page, configure the following radio parameters in accordance with your
radio license and the regulations of your country:
•
Transmit Power Level
•
Transmit Data Rate
•
Frequency Step Size
3. Continue to the next procedure to configure a bridge network.
Bridge Network Configuration
1. Assign the operating mode of the first modem to be an access point.
2. Create a system address (ESSID) and record as all radios In the system must use the same
ESSID (case sensitive).
3. By default, the 450U-E is configured with WPA2 encryption. Enter a passphrase and make
a note of the passphrase for later reference.
All radios in the system must use the same encryption method and key (case sensitive).
4. Enter the IP address required for your network.
Each radio In the system must have a different IP address, typically within the same subnet
(for example, 192.168.0.120, 192.168.0.121, and so on).
5. Click
Save Changes and Reset
.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the other radios, except select “Client” in the Operating Mode
field.
NOTE Make sure that the IP address is unique to each modem, the ESSID and
encryption methods are the same as the access point, and the radio configuration
parameters are the same for all radios.
7. After all parameters are entered and saved, make sure to reset the modems.
8. When all the modems have restarted, connect the antennas and confirm that the Link LED
is on, indicating that a connection has been made.
NOTE It is important to perform the link check while the modems are on the bench,
rather than at their final destination. The normal link time between an access point
and a client will be less than 30 seconds after the modems have finished restarting.
