3.5 STEP 4—REVIEW THE
TRANSCEIVER’S
CONFIGURATION
3.5.1 Getting Started
Start with the Access Point and log-in. It should be the first unit to be set
up as the Remotes are dependent on its beacon signal to achieve the
“associated” state.
Login credentials (all lower case):
Username:
root
Password: zonukh4x
Once the Access Point is up and running, move the computer connection
to each of the Remote units, log-in at each unit, review their configura-
tion, set their IP addresses and wait for each to achieve the associated
state.
With all units associated, you will be ready to connect and test your data
services.
3.5.2 Procedure
The following is a summary of the configuration procedure that must be
done on each unit in the system. Key parameters are highlighted on the
embedded Management System flowchart on Figure 3-4 on Page 83,
Management System Menu Flowchart (abbreviated). A lists of parame-
ters can found in two tables: Table 4-5 on Page 92 and Table 4-7 on
Page 95. Detailed information on using the Management System can be
found in INTRODUCTION on Page 15 in this manual.
NOTE: The Management System supports the use of “configuration
files” to aid in uniformly configuring multiple transceivers.
These are detailed in Using Configuration Scripts on Page 64.
3.5.3 Basic Configuration Defaults
Table 3-1 provides a selection of key transceiver operating parameters,
their range, and default values. All of these are accessible through a ter-
minal emulator connected to the
COM1 serial port or through a Web
browser connected to the
LAN Port. (See Figure 5-1 on Page 103 for
hookup.)
