Configuring the Serial Device Server
Part Number 140-00188-180
If you used DHCP, verify that the IP address is
correctly set. If you used the default 192.0.0.192
IP address, you MUST change it to a new valid IP
address. If necessary, change the Subnet Mask
and Gateway. It is generally not necessary to
change the other parameters on this page (refer to
Chapter 5 for advanced configuration information.
Note that on-line help information is available on
every configuration page.
Click the Submit button at the bottom of the window
(you may need to scroll) to save your changes.
4. Click Wireless on the left side of the screen to
configure the 802.11a/b/g wireless settings
(for WLAN models only; skip to the next
section if you have an Ethernet model). To
operate on an 802.11a/b/g network, the Serial
Device Server configuration must be
configured with the wireless configuration and
security parameters required to allow the
Serial Device Server to communicate over
your wireless network (check with your
network administrator if you do not know
these parameters).
 Select either Infrastructure (if you are
using an access point) or Ad Hoc
(point-to-point) as the wireless mode
 Enter the SSID for your network
 If you are using Ad Hoc, select the RF
channel (not required for infrastructure)
The other parameters on this page do not
normally need to be changed (refer to Chapter
5 for information on advanced configuration).
Click the Submit button at the bottom of the
window (you may need to scroll) to save your
changes.
Now click Configure Network Security to
configure the wireless security parameters.
NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the SX-
500 should have acquired valid IP settings at this point
and no further configuration is necessary. However,
for some installations, a static IP address is preferred.
If your DHCP server does not allow the SX-500 to keep
its assigned IP address permanently, then you must
manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a
static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP
(see your DHCP server documentation for details). To
assign a static IP address, select Set Permanent as the
IP Address Resolution, and assign a valid static IP
address for your network. Click on OK to save the new
settings.
