SpeedNet Client Tool
Main Window
Figure 50. SpeedNet Client Main window.
The
Login
button submitted the username and password supplied to the radio specified
by the IP address and causes the client tool to fetch the configuration information from
the radio. Further transactions through the client tool tabs use this same information (IP
address, username and password) to get and set data in the radio. Note that “logging in”
from the client tool does not produce a persistent session or state change in the specified
radio. Further, logging in from one client tool does not preclude logging in from other
client tools on other PCs, provided they also have the valid login information (IP address,
username and password). See Figure 50.
• The display in the upper-right corner of the
Main
window, see Figure 50, shows the
Location, the Radio ID (node name), Radio IP address, Radio Status, and user’s security
access level.
• SNMP Timeout
—The SNMP protocol automatically resends control data after a period
of time. The
SNMP Timeout
control is used to adjust the timeout value. In the case of
a busy network and/or when traversing many wireless hops, you may wish to increase
the SNMP timeout. The default value will work in most situations.
• Connect To
—The
Connect To…
button allows you to connect to a different SpeedNet
ME Radio by opening the SpeedNet ME Radio
Login
window. Other configuration
functions are accessed by clicking on the appropriate tabs, as follows:
• Interfaces
—The Interfaces page is used to configure the Ethernet, wireless, and serial
interfaces.
• IP Routing
—The IP Routing page is used to configure the routing settings for the
wireless network, including the use of mesh networking or static routes.
• Security
—The Security page is used to configure wireless network encryption and
view the MAC Address Revocation list.
• Admin
—The Admin page is used to assign the Radio ID (radio node name), upload
security and network configuration files, reboot the radio, and install new radio
firmware.
• Statistics
—This window provides detailed information regarding radio performance.
