Figure 25 - Quick Start
The Quick Start Configuration option is designed to guide you through the configuration process with minimal effort. You
can access it any time by selecting it from the right hand menu. This is a simple first stage configuration tool that will help
configure the basic parameters that are needed to get a connection between two modules. For most applications, no
further configuration should be needed however if more advanced options are required the normal configuration pages
can be edited after the Quick Start configuration has been saved.
1. configure the following parameters if necessary:
Transmit Power Level - This allows adjustment of the radio power. Depending on the Locale the
maximum radio power level may be limited to the maximum allowable for the locale. You can reduce the
power for short range applications, or to allow the use of high gain transmitter antennas while still
complying with the emission requirements of your license. For dBm to mW conversion table see
Appendix C.
Transmit Data Rate - The 450U-E can be configured with different radio transmission rates. Note:
reducing the configured data rate may increases the reliable range of the module (transmission
distance).The radio baud rate in kilobits per second (kbps) for point to point radio transmissions. Select a
fixed rate for the radio to use from the drop down list. Selections available are 9600 and 19200 kbps for
wide band radios or 4800 & 9600 kbps for narrow band. The Transmit Data Rate only applies to the
Transmit messages as the radio can receive on all data rates.
Frequency Step Size - The Frequency Step size is the spacing between frequencies that you can select
when configuring the TX and RX frequencies. The steps sizes available are 5Khz or 6.25KHz.
Transmit Frequency - The Frequency that you wish to configure for the radio Transmitter. Frequency
selection will be automatically adjusted to the frequency step size configured in the previous parameter.
E.g. 450.00500, 450.01000, 450.01500, 450.02000, etc. for 5Khz or 450.00625, 450.01250,
450.01875, 450.02500, etc. for 6.25KHz frequency step size.
Receive Frequency - The Frequency that you wish to configure for the radio Receiver. Frequency
selection will be automatically adjusted to the frequency step size configured in the previous parameter.
E.g. 450.00500, 450.01000, 450.01500, 450.02000, etc. for 5Khz or 450.00625, 450.01250,
450.01875, 450.02500, etc. for 6.25KHz frequency step size.
Operating Mode - Used to select Access Point or Client. The default is set to Client.
System Address (ESSID) - A 450U-E wireless network comprises modules with the same "system
addre
address is a text string 1 to 31 characters in length. Select a text string which identifies your system.
WPA Passphrase - It is assumed that WPA2-PSK (AES) Encryption will be used. Enter in the Encryption
key passphrase that you wish to use.
saved if a different Encryption Method is required. (See section below for details)
IP Address - The IP address of the 450U-E module.
Subnet Mask - The IP address of the 450U-E module.
