AW2400mTR User’s Manual “Easy Key” Configuration In most cases, the browser interface is a better choice for configuring the modules. But they also can be configured as a point-to-point bridge or a point-to-multipoint group using the DIP switches. When this method is used, the module that will operate as the access point provides a unique network ID calculated from its MAC address and a unique random encryption key programmed into it during manufacture.
User’s Manual AW2400mTR To add a new SU to the AP, disconnect the AP from the network and power off. Connect an Ethernet cable between the SU and AP. Power up the SU FIRST and then the AP. The SU will receive the key. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and cycle power on the SU to cause the new keys to take effect. To re-key SUs to a new AP, proceed as in the inital setup, making sure to power up the AP FIRST. Technical specifications Characteristic Specification/Description RF transmission rate 1.
