GETTING STARTED
REQUIRED SETTINGS
For the WiBox to operate on a wireless network, two critical settings are required:
1. IP address settings
2. Appropriate wireless settings
By default, the WiBox is set to Ad-Hoc network mode and its wireless Network
Name (SSID) is “LTRX_IBSS”.
DHCP
Many networks use an automatic method of assigning an IP address called DHCP.
The WiBox supports DHCP. However, before it can accept an IP address from
DHCP, the wireless settings must be set.
In most installations, a fixed IP address and wireless LAN settings are desired. The
systems administrator generally provides these.
