8. On the Advanced Admin page, set the parameters as follows:
• Choose Device Type: Access Point or Subscriber Unit.
• For Subscriber Units, assign unique ID numbers in numeric order from 1 to 63.
• For an Access Point, enter the number of Subscriber Units that will be communicating
with it.
• Click the box labeled “Enable User Specied Keys.”
• Choose an 8-digit hex (0-9 and A-F) Network Name that will be common among the AP
and its SUs and enter it. The hyphen is required.
• Choose a 32-digit hex encryption key and enter it. Again, the hyphens are required.
This key must match between the AP and the SU so make a note of it as well.
After entering the parameters, click the “Apply” button to save them to the radio.
If you scroll down in the Admin browser page, you will come to three more sections:
• A graphical spectrum analyzer display that may help you to select radio channels that
avoid interference
• A section to be used if an update to the XPress rmware is required. Note that there
are two possible rmware loads for this unit, one for compatibility with older XPress
Ethernet Bridge Multipoint radios (XEB09-Bxxx), and an international version that limits
the frequency band to 915-928 MHz (Channels 7 through 12). Latest rmware is found
online at ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/rmware/update/xpress/. To change rmware,
download the desired .bin and .webbin les, and click Upload Firmware to install
the les one at a time. Please note that we recommend contacting Technical support
before changing rmware.
• An Advanced Links section with a dire warning about advanced users only.
Despite the warning, you will need to click the “Advanced Admin” button in order to set the
device type, ID and encryption key. You should then see a page similar to this:
