Elpro Technologies 450U-E Wireless Ethernet Modem & Device Server User Manual
Rev Version 1.4.0 www.cooperbussmann.com/wirelessresources 21
Initial Connection 3.2
The 450U-E has a built-in web server, for configuration and diagnostics. The preferred web browser is Microsoft®
internet explorer version 7 or greater. This program is shipped with Microsoft windows or may be obtained freely
via the Microsoft® website or Google chrome which is also downloadable from the web. Other browsers may not
be fully compatible on all beta web pages.
Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6 will not load web pages due to a compatibility issue
between IE6 and SSL-security web sites.
First Time Configuration
If the modem is new and never been configured before or the module has been factory defaulted it will need to have the
Locale set. The Locale is a set of parameters that define the basic radio configuration setup, they include Frequency
Range and channel step size. When connecting to the Default IP address which is shown on the label on the underside of
the module the first page to load will be the Locale Configuration page as shown at the end of this section
Locale Configuration .
Modem with no Locale configured will be indicated by a Red OK Led and the Transmitter will be
unable to transmit.
If the module has been previously configured and the IP address is unknown the module can be put into a mode that will
temporary load the default address and allow configuration. See Default Configuration Switch below and follow the
procedure to gain access to the module.
Default Configuration Switch
The 450U-E will temporarily load factory-default settings if powered on with the RUN/SETUP switch (on the end-plate of
the module) in SETUP position. The previous configuration remains stored in non-volatile memory and will only change if a
configuration parameter is modified and the change saved.
When in SETUP mode, wireless operation will be disabled.
Do not forget to set the switch back to the RUN position and cycle power at the conclusion of
configuration for resumption of normal operation.
The default factory configuration of the 450U-E is
Client / Bridge 
IP address192.168.0.1XX, where XX is the last two digits of the serial number (the default IP address is shown 
on the printed label on the back of the module)
Netmask 255.255.255.0 

Because the Default IP address of the modem will be within the IP range 192.168.0.XXX it may not be compatible with
the network or PC that you are using to configure it with. You will temporarily need to change the computers IP address
to allow connection to the module. See below for instruction on how this can be done.
Setting the PC to same network as 450U-E
This procedure will run you through the process for changing your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the
same network as the 450U-E - for
connection between the PC Ethernet port and the 450U-E. Connect the Ethernet cable between the module and the
PC configuring the module.
