Horizon Compact Release 1.01.01 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
6.3 Configuring IP Address Values
When shipped from DragonWave, the Horizon Compact is configured with a default IP address
(192.168.10.100) and subnet mask (255.255.0.0). The default address is used to communicate with the
Horizon Compact for initial configuration purposes, such as entering the IP address that the unit will have
in the network to which it is to be connected. IP address information is entered in the following manner:
6.3.1 Using Telnet
1. Type the CLI command set ip address <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> and press Enter, where
<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> is the desired IP address in standard format
2. Type the CLI command set subnet mask <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> and press Enter,
where <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> is the desired subnet mask in standard format
3. Type the CLI command set default gateway <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> and press Enter,
where <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> is the IP address of the default gateway in standard
format
4. Type the CLI command save mib and press Enter. This command saves the entered
information to memory, but does not yet apply them.
5. Type the CLI command reset system and press Enter, followed by “Y”. This
command resets the system and applies all the radio and IP changes just made.
Note that resetting the system disrupts traffic.
Once the system has reset , you may not be able to communicate with it without changing your laptop or
PC networking parameters to match the new IP address values programmed into the Horizon Compact.
Note that the reset system command is not always required when making configuration changes, but the
save mib command is always required. Commands that require a reset system will be indicated on the
screen.
6.3.2 Using the Web Interface
1. From the Home page select the “Configuration” menu option and then select the “IP
configuration” option
2. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway values, using standard
format, in their respective fields
3. Click on the “Submit” button
4. Click on the “Save settings” button
5. Click on the “Reset system” button
Once the system has reset , you may not be able to communicate with it without changing your laptop or
PC networking parameters to match the new IP address values programmed into the Horizon Compact.
The system is now configured and capable of passing traffic once the Horizon Compact units are
attached to antennas, mounted at each end of the link and aligned.
