Configuring the Unit for the First Time
The 805U-E has a built-in webserver, containing webpages for analysis and modification of
configuration. The configuration can be accessed using Microsoft® Internet Explorer. This
program is shipped with Microsoft Windows or may be obtained freely via the Microsoft®
website.
Configuration of IP address, gateway address and subnet mask may also be accessed via the
RS-232 serial port.
Accessing Configuration for the first time
There are two methods for accessing the configuration inside a 805U-E. The first method
requires changing your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the same network
as the 805U-E with factory default settings. This is the preferred method and is much less
complicated than the second method. You will need a “straight-through” Ethernet cable
between the PC Ethernet port and the 805U-E. The factory default Ethernet address for the
805U-E is 192.168.0.1XX where XX are the last two digits of the serial number (check the
label on the back of the module).
The second method requires setting an IP address in the 805U-E such that it is accessible on
your network without having to change your network settings.
3.3.1 Set PC to same network as 805U-E
Connect the Ethernet cable between unit
and the PC configuring the module.
•
Set the Factory Default Switch to the
SETUP position. This will always
start the 805U-E with Ethernet IP
address 192.168.0.1XX, subnet
mask 255.255.255.0, gateway IP
192.168.0.1 and the radio disabled.
Do not forget to set the switch back
to the RUN position and cycle power
at the conclusion of configuration
for resumption of normal operation.
•
Power up the 805U-E module.
•
Open “Network Settings” on your
PC under Control Panel. The
following description is for
Windows XP - earlier Windows
operating systems have similar
settings.
