CM & Crixus™ User Manual
If a WiFi access point is not available and a
wired/ethernet internet connection is not
available, Pall recommends one of
CradlePoint’s wireless routers, such as the
MBR1200B wireless router with 3G/4G
wireless WAN connectivity
(https://cradlepoint.com/products/mbr1200b).
Wireless routers connect with the internet via
mobile broadband service available from
carriers in the customer’s region. A wireless
router provides a WiFi access point for the
Prodigy Gateway.
2.3. Configuring the Athalon
®
CM Gateway
The customer must configure the WiFi Gateway to communicate with an on-site WiFi
access point. The gateway associates to a WiFi access point using a service set identifier
(SSID) broadcast by the WiFi access point. The gateway securely communicates with the
following common WiFi security types:
Open (no security code), WEP-40, WEP-104, WPA (AES & TKIP), WPA2 (AES, TKIP
& Mixed mode). Each gateway comes with a unique MAC address assigned by the factory,
which may also be used for authentication.
Upon initial power-up, the WiFi Gateway will function as a WiFi Access Point. Using a
laptop or similar device, connect to the gateway’s network SSID, which is set to its MAC
address. Once connected, browse to the Configuration page at 192.168.10.1:7000/Config.
On the Configuration page, fill in the SSID, Password, and Security Mode of the WiFi
Access Point the gateway should communicate with, and press the “Submit” button (See
Figure below). The settings will be saved in the gateway. Once configuration is complete,
press the button on the gateway enclosure to switch the gateway from Access Point mode
to Client mode. The Prodigy gateway will now communicate with the cloud based server
through the WiFi access point. If the WiFi Access Point needs to be changed in the future,
the Prodigy gateway can be placed back into its WiFi Access Point mode by pressing the
button on the gateway enclosure.
