In the case where more than one of the active profiles is available in the
surrounding environment, it is important to note that the signal strength
(from the Access Point) also comes into play when selecting the profile to
which the ARF45-PRO is going to connect to.
ARF45-PRO default configuration
The ARF45-PRO default configuration is as follows:
1) Two default profiles:
- Infrastructure Mode SSID:
Lantronix Initial Infra Network
- Ad hoc mode SSID:
Lantronix Initial Adhoc Network
Note
: Both of these profiles are enabled by default. Infrastructure
Mode is the first choice, then Ad-Hoc mode. You can set your AP to
match an SSID of
Lantronix Initial Infra Network or connect with
another wireless card in Ad-hoc mode with an SSID of
Lantronix
Initial Adhoc Network
.
2) No encryption
3) BOOTP, DHCP, and AutoIP enabled.
Note:
AutoIP generates a random default IP address in the range
169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 if no BOOTP or DHCP server is found.
In case the user wish to configure the ARF45-PRO using the Web-based
method, he has to make sure that the computer from which he is going to
launch the web-browser (or open a Telnet session) is connected to an AP or

AutoIP server (running on the ARF45-PRO) is going to assigned a default
(and random) IP address to the ARF45-PRO. As a consequence the user does
not know the IP address of the ARF45-PRO and thus he has to make use of
the Command Line Interface method (over the serial port!) in order to carry
