 Place SW5001 to the area that an access point can cover, or connector it via Ethernet cable with RJ45

connecor.

 Connect a serial device to a serial port of SW5001, make sure the right connection of either RS-232 or

RS-485.

 Plug in DC-9-30V, the buzzer will beep and the RUN LED will blink if SW5001 functions normally.

Please refer to Appendix A.5 to see all of LED messages.

 Use monitor.exe configuration utility in the product CD or diskette to diagnose SW5001. If it starts up

successfully, you are able to find the IP and MAC addresses of SW5001. You can change the network

parameters of SW5001 to join your LAN by changing its IP address, gateway IP address and subnet

mask.

Note: If there are more than one access points, the access point’s ESSID must be the same.

3.2 Assigning a new IP Address by ARP command

arp –s is used to assign a static IP address of SW5001 and add this static entries to the ARP cache of the

computer, when TCP/IP packet with destination port number 1 is sent to SW5001, it causes the device to

check its MAC address with IP address, once SW5001 finds those two unmatched, it will reboot and

change to the new IP address which was set by arp –s command. The following example uses ARP to

assign a static IP address of SW5001 using its MAC address printed on the label of the rear panel, then
