WLAN Settings (XPress DR+W Only)
Note: To use DeviceInstaller for communication to an XPress DR+W over a wireless
network, you must first configure the network and WLAN settings using a serial
connection. See Chapter 4:XPress DR+W.
Before the XPress DR+W can communicate on an 802.11b/g wireless network, the
WLAN settings must match the wireless network. By default, the XPress DR+W is set to
Ad Hoc network mode, and its wireless Network Name (SSID) is LTRX_IBSS.
Note: Due to regulations, the country-specific setting has been removed from the setup
menu and Web Manager. We provide a separate utility for changing the Country/Zone
setting. The utility is called SetZone and is included in the XPress DR+W package. It is
also available for download from the Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com
).
The syntax is SetZone <IP address> [<zone abbreviation>]
Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only.
Following are valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with
IEEE802.11b/g zones:
US=United States
CA=Canada
FR=France
SP=Spain
JP=Japan
OT=Others, such as Europe
(excluding France), Asia, Africa, and
Australia
Without adequate protection, a wireless LAN is susceptible to access by unauthorized
users. As such, XPress DR+W features the WPA security standard, based on
IEEE802.11i and IEEE802.1X. WEP is provided for backwards compatibility and
interaction with older devices.
To modify WLAN settings, select 4 WLAN from the Change Setup menu.
