Default Configuration
The default factory configuration of the WI-MOD-E is
•
Client/Bridge/
•
IP address192.168.0.1XX, where XX is the last two digits of the serial number (the default IP
address is shown on the printed label on the back of the module)
•
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
•
Username is “
user
” and the default password is “
user
”
The WI-MOD-E will temporarily load some factory-default settings if powered up with the Factory
Default switch (on the end-plate of the module) in SETUP position. When in SETUP mode,
wireless operation is disabled. The previous configuration remains stored in non-volatile memory
and will only change if a configuration parameter is modified and the change saved.
Do not forget
to set the switch back to the RUN position and cycle power at the conclusion
of configuration for resumption of normal operation.

Configuring the Unit for the First Time
The WI-MOD-E has a built-in web server, containing webpages for analysis and modification of
configuration. The configuration can be accessed using Microsoft® Internet Explorer. This
program is shipped with Microsoft Windows or may be obtained freely via the Microsoft® website.
Configuration of IP address, gateway address and subnet mask may also be accessed via the RS-232
serial port.
Accessing Configuration for the first time
There are two methods for accessing the configuration inside a WI-MOD-E. The first method
requires changing your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the same network as the
WI-MOD-E with factory default settings.
This is the preferred method
and is much less
complicated than the second method. You will need a “straight-through” Ethernet cable between
the PC Ethernet port and the WI-MOD-E. The factory default Ethernet address for the WI-MOD-E
is 192.168.0.1XX where XX are the last two digits of the serial number (check the label on the back
of the module).
The second method requires setting an IP address in the WI-MOD-E such that it is accessible on
your network without having to change your network settings.
3.4.1 Set PC to same network as WI-MOD-E
Connect the Ethernet cable between unit and the PC configuring the module.
•
Set the Factory Default Switch to the SETUP position. This will always start the WI-MOD-E
with Ethernet IP address 192.168.0.1XX, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway IP 192.168.0.1
and the radio disabled.
Do not forget
to set the switch back to the RUN position and cycle
power at the conclusion of configuration for resumption of normal operation.
