3.2 Default Configuration
The default factory configuration of the RM-90 is
… Bridge/Client
… 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)
… netmask 255.255.255.0
… Username is “
user
” and the default password is “
user
”
The RM-90 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. In the posi-
tion, wireless operation is disabled. The previous configuration remains stored in 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 con-
clusion of configuration for resumption of normal operation.
3.3 Configuring the Unit for the First Time
The RM-90 has a built-in webserver, 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 RM-90. The first method
requires changing your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the same
network as the RM-90 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 RM-90. The factory default
Ethernet address for the RM-90 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 RM-90 such that it is accessible
on your network without having to change your network settings.
3.3.1 Set PC to same network as RM-90
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 RM-
90 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.
… Power up the RM-90 module.
… Open “Network Settings” on your PC under Control Panel. The following description
is for Windows XP – earlier Windows operating systems have similar settings.
… Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties.
