Method 1 -
Change 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).
Method 2 -
Requires temporarily changing the IP address in the WI-MOD-E via an
RS232 connection such that it is accessible on your network without having to
change your PC network settings. When connected you can change the modem
network settings to match that of your network.
Method 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 restart the module at the conclusion of configuration
for resumption of normal operation.
Power up the WI-MOD-E module.
Open “Network Settings” on your PC under Control Panel. The following description is for Windows XP - earlier
Windows operating systems have similar settings.
Open “Properties” of Local Area Connection.
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties.
On the General tab enter IP address 192.168.0.1, Subnet mask
255.255.255.0 and press “OK”
Open Internet Explorer and ensure that settings will allow you to connect to
the IP address selected. If the PC uses a proxy server, ensure that Internet
Explorer will bypass the Proxy Server for local addresses.
This option may be modified by opening Tools -> Internet Options ->
Connections Tab -> LAN Settings->Proxy Server -> bypass proxy for local
addresses.
Enter the default IP address for the WI-MOD-E https://192.168.0.1XX
where XX is the last two digits of the serial number.
Enter the username “
user
” and default password “
user
”.
