my_ip=192.168.0.11 OR my_ip=dhcp

gateway=192.168.0.1.

netmask=255.255.255.0

C. Configuring the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver:

There is one file that you need to edit in order to configure the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver

to communicate with the components in a system. A Setup Menu discussed later will

allow setting the rest of the RF and TCP/IP configurations. Listed below are instructions

to edit lines within each file that need to be modified. Preceding instructions describe

procedure for getting to the command prompt allowing you to run the Editor, which is

used to edit these files.

C.1. Edit the WATTCP.CFG file:

The WATTCP.CFG file contains the parameters that configure the IP-Link

Transceiver to be connected to the Internet (LAN/ WAN). The file has 3 entries:

Static IP or DHCP, Gateway and Net mask of the network where the IP-Link

Transceiver will be installed. To view the contents of this file enter at the C prompt

“type wattcp.cfg” and you should see something like this:

Example 2: Contents of the wattcp.cfg file

To edit this file type “edit wattcp.cfg” and enter. You will see the following:

0: my_ip= 192.168.0.11 OR 0: my_ip=dhcp

1: gateway=192.168.0.1

2: netmask=255.255.255.0

Type the line number in the file that you want to replace then <Enter>:

Example, if you want to change line 0 (zero) type 0 and then <Enter>.

Next type your new information:

Examples: 0:my_ip=192.168.1.22 or 0: my_ip=dhcp

Once you’re done editing the wattcp.cfg file, type L + <Enter> to list the file

contents. Then confirm that the 3 lines are correct. Next type S + <Enter> to save and

exit.

C.2. Configuring the TCP/IP parameters:

There are two methods you can use to configure the following parameters. The first and

preferred method is to access the Setup menu and select menu items for the specific

parameter that you wish to modify. The other method, described below involves entering

a command line with a number of arguments. The Setup menu method follows in C.3

Reset the IP-Link and press X to get to the C Prompt, and then type the following

command replacing example data shown below with your actual required data:

UCMD UIPLINK -I00001234 -S192.168.0.101 -P7070 –N978-555-55555<Enter>

Where: -I = IPLinkID -S = Server IPAddr

-P = Server Port -N = Server’s Modem Number

Once you enter the UCMD command, with or without parameters the IP-Link will

attempt connecting to your Server.
