4.2 Network Configuration
You can view or modify Ethernet network parameters by selecting the “Network” menu.
When prompted for username and password, enter “user” as the username, and “user”
as the password in the password field (This is the factory default – See section 4.8
“Module Information” to change). If you have forgotten the IP address or password, the
Factory Default switch may be used to access the existing configuration. Refer to
section above for this procedure.
The Network Configuration page allows configuration of parameters related to the wired
and wireless Ethernet interfaces. In general, IP address selection will be dependant
upon the connected wired Ethernet device(s) – before connecting to an existing LAN
consult the network administrator.
Device Mode
Default Gateway
This is the address that the device will use to forward
messages to remote hosts that are not connected to any of
the local bridged network (Ethernet or Wireless). This is only
required if the wired LAN has a Gateway unit which connects
to devices beyond the LAN - for example, Internet access. If
there is no Gateway on the LAN, set to the same address as
the “Ethernet IP Address” below.
Obtain IP Address
Automatically
Checking this item enables DHCP client on the E2. A DHCP
client requests its IP address from a DHCP server, which
assigns the IP Address automatically. Default is unchecked.
Ethernet Interface
MAC Address
This is the unique hardware address of the E2 and is
assigned in the Factory. The E2 has two MAC addresses,
one for each interface (Ethernet and Wireless) The Ethernet
MAC is the primary MAC Address.
IP Address
The IP address of the E2 on its wired (Ethernet Interface) port
and wireless (Wireless Interface) port. This should be set to
the IP address you require. If the device mode is set to
bridge, then the wired and wireless ports will have the same
IP address.
IP Subnet Mask
The IP network mask of the E2 on its wired (Ethernet
Interface) port and wireless (Wireless Interface) port. This
should be set to appropriate subnet mask for your system
(Typically 255.255.255.0).
