Setting the country code on a new edge node

 

To set the country code on a new edge node: 
1.

 

Put the node on a table. 

2.

 

Attach the Ethernet cable from the administrator computer to the node. 

Note. 

The administrator computer must have an IP address on the same subnet 

as the node. If the node is new, the default IP address is 192.168.224.150. 

 

3.

 

Attach the power cable to a power source. 

Caution! 

You must use the power supply that comes with the node. If 

you use a different power supply, you void the product warranty. 

 

4.

 

Give the node power. 
The power LED comes on. The node boots and is ready to use in one minute. 

5.

 

Attach staging antennas appropriate to your network application. 

Note: 

For specific procedures to attach antennas, see the 

Firetide Best Practices 

Guide

 

6.

 

Single-click to start the Quick Launch feature of HotView Pro, which opens 
the server and client software at the same time. 

 

 

 

 

7.

 

Login with the correct user name and password. The default user name is 
hv_admin; and the default password is firetide. 
The system initializes. 

8.

 

Go to 

Mesh > Add Mesh > 

login with the default user name and password. 

 

 

 

 

 

When you add the mesh, the system prompts you for the country code.
