30 S&C Instruction Sheet 1074-530
SpeedNet Client Tool
•
Subnet Mask
—Specifies the subnet mask of the Ethernet interface. The default subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0.
•
MTU
—The Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) specifies the maximum Ethernet packet
size (in bytes) that can be transmitted without being fragmented. The default value of
1500 bytes should be appropriate for most applications.
•
Apply
—Saves changes made to the configuration of the
Ethernet
tab. Changes will
not be saved if you change to a different configuration tab without first clicking the
Apply
button.
Note:
Redundancy is not supported on the SpeedNet ME; therefore, the
VRIP
field is
not available.

The
Wireless
tab, shown in Figure 52, is used to configure the SpeedNet ME Radio wireless
interface. Note that several features are for reference only and will appear grayed out in
the client tool. Some of the following parameters can be configured:
•
MAC ID
—This read-only field displays the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address
of the SpeedNet ME Radio wireless interface. The wireless MAC ID is based on the
Ethernet interface MAC ID but with the second and third sets of digits replaced with
“FF.”
•
IP Address
—This parameter specifies the IP address of the wireless interface of the
SpeedNet ME Radio. The default IP address is 192.168.202.1. This address must be
unique for each radio on the wireless network.
•
Subnet Mask
—This parameter specifies the subnet mask of the wireless interface.
The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
•
Network ID
—This parameter specifies the frequency hopping pattern that will be used
by the SpeedNet ME Radio. To communicate with each other, SpeedNet ME Radios in
the same wireless network must use the same network ID setting. Note that SpeedNet
networks can be located close to each other with minimal network interference by
configuring a separate network ID for each network. The network ID parameter has a
value range of 1-16, with a default value of 1.
