2. Configuring the Zodiac WX
2.1. Joining the network
2.1.1. WiFi Connection
By default OpenFlow is disabled so you can connect to the Zodiac WX through a wireless
connection without the need for a OpenFlow Controller. The Zodiac WX should begin broadcasting
as soon as it has completed booting.
To connect to the WiFi network:
1. Find the required network SSID on your wireless device. There are 2 wireless networks
preconfigured on your device,
ZodiacWX_5GHz
(for 5 GHz) and
ZodiacWX_24GHz
(for 2.4
GHz).
2. Join the network, and enter the default password when prompted:
Password:
66666666
Important:
Make you change the default wireless passwords are described in section 3.3
2.1.2. Wired Connection
You can also connect to the Zodiac WX via a wired Ethernet connection, using the physical
LAN
port.
To connect to the LAN:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the LAN port on the Zodiac WX.
2. In the IP settings of your computer change the IP address to DHCP. This will allow the Zodiac
WX to provide an IP address to your computer and ensure there are no address conflicts with
the rest of your network.
3. Your computer should now be connected to the Zodiac WX LAN.
2.2. Connecting to the web interface
Once a client computer has been connected via a wired or wireless connection, you can access
the admin web interface by going to the Zodiac WX’s default IP address.
In a browser address bar, type the following:
https://192.168.1.1/
Important:
Make sure to include “https://”, as the Zodiac WX will refuse insecure connections. As
SSL certificates are individually generated by the Zodiac WX they are not signed by a central
authority and therefor a warning may appear in your browser, this is normal and can be accepted.
