Configuration Options
After the hardware installation has been successfully completed, the
DeviceMaster FreeWire is ready for configuration. The easiest and fastest way to
configure the DeviceMaster FreeWire is to use the DeviceMaster FreeWire
Installation Wizard, which also installs the FreeWire Manager, a configuration
interface, and the port redirector.
Note: Comtrol Technical Support recommends using the FreeWire Installation
Wizard and FreeWire Manager for configuration. If you do not have access
to a Windows system, use one of the other methods discussed below.
Use Configuring the DeviceMaster FreeWire
on Page 13 for installation and
configuration procedures, such as:
• Easily configure DeviceMaster FreeWire network and wireless settings
• Check DeviceMaster FreeWire status information
• Change options such as the DeviceMaster FreeWire access protocol and time-
out values
• Access the web page to update firmware
Basic COM port properties can be configured using the DeviceMaster FreeWire
Installation Wizard and advanced properties can be configured using the FreeWire
Manager.
Optionally, you could use one of the other DeviceMaster FreeWire configuration
and management methods.
• Embedded web server page (Page 27
) which is accessed with a standard web
browser (for example, Firefox or Internet Explorer), with no additional
software and on any system that supports web browser capabilities. Simply,
type the IP address into your web browser address bar to connect. The default
address is 192.168.250.250.
• DeviceMaster FreeWire internal configuration console, which can be accessed
via a Telnet connection or directly through the DeviceMaster FreeWire serial
port (Page 31
).
Use the Command Console to configure Bridged Network Mode
