Example 1: reset EPA module to default settings
Switch on the EPA module and press the “MODE” button after power up to change to
configuration mode. Now LED “A” is on. Then press the “MODE” button once until the “B”
LED lights up. Once the mode has been selected, press the “MODE” button again and hold
it down for at least 2 seconds until the corresponding mode LED goes out. The EPA module
is now reset to its default settings.

Delivery state/default settings
By default or after the system is reset to the default settings, the following functions and
properties are set:
–
The password for configuration in the WBM is “admin”.
–
The WLAN AP is supplied with the following IP parameters:
IP address:
192.168.0.254
Subnet mask:
255.255.0.0
Gateway:
192.168.0.254
–
DHCP is not activated as the addressing mechanism.

External wireless: wait for MAC address
As long as the LEDs are flashing, the EPA waits for the first data packet
on the LAN interface. The EPA accepts the MAC address as its own
MAC address on the wireless side. This means that the connected
device can be addressed in the network using layer 2 transparency.
The MAC address is retained even after a restart.

Multipoint ad hoc mode
Establishing direct multipoint EPA-to-EPA connections. (Note: for

access point instead.)
