NOTE You cannot navigate away from the Quick Start page until the operating parameters have been
set.
3. After specifying the parameters on the Quick Start page, set the RUN/SETUP switch on the module back to
RUN and click Save Changes and Reset to apply the settings.
The home page appears, as shown in Figure 26. From the home page you can click Full Configuration
to adjust modem configuration settings.
4.2 Quick Start
The Quick Start page is a first-stage configuration tool that allows you to set the essential radio parameters
needed to achieve a connection between two modules. For most applications, no further configuration should be
needed. However, if more advanced options are required, you can use the Full Configuration menu to configure
settings once the Quick Start configuration has been saved.
Figure 25 Quick Start Page
Select Quick Start from the Main Menu, and configure the parameters described below (if necessary). When
finished, click Save Changes and Reset to restart the modem. The Main Screen of the WI-MOD-xxx-E-5W
webpage will now show the correctly configured model, locale and frequency, as shown in the example in Figure
26.
Transmit Power
Level
Allows you to adjust the radio power level. Depending on your locale the maximum
radio power level may be limited to the maximum allowable for the locale. You can
reduce the power for short range applications or for the use of high gain transmitter
antennas while still complying with the emission requirements of your license. For
dBm to mW conversion table see Appendix F.
Transmit Data Rate
The WI-MOD-xxx-E-5W module can be configured with different radio
transmission rates. The radio baud rate is displayed in kilobits per second (Kbps)
for point-to-point radio transmissions. Select a fixed rate for the radio to use from
the drop-down list. Selections available are 9600 and 19200 Kbps for wide band
radios or 4800 and
9600 Kbps for narrow band radios. The transmit data rate only applies to the transmit
messages; the radio can receive on all data rates.
NOTE Reducing the configured data rate may increases the reliable range of
the module (transmission distance).
