4.1.3 Over the Air Configuration
The WIBMesh 915U-2 modules communicate using Standard Ethernet Protocols which
make it possible to connect to other 915U-2 modules within the radio network for over
the air diagnostics or configuration changes.
A little forethought when designing the system is required as some minor configuration
settings are needed to implement the over air configuration.
The Multi point to point system shown below in Figure 26 will require the following.
Default Gateway address in all remote modules needs to point back to the
Central 915U-2 module radio IP address (i.e. 10.0.0.1)
Central 915U-2 needs to have the “IP Gateway Mode” enabled on the “Mesh”
webpage (see separate “Web Page Configuration Supplement” for details).
Ethernet IP address range on the remote modules must be different to the
Ethernet IP address range on the Central 915U-2 module or disabled (see
separate “Web Page Configuration Supplement” for details)
PC must have its Default Gateway address set to the Central 915U-2 Ethernet IP
Address or it must have a route added to its default routing table, e.g. “ROUTE
ADD 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
If the system is configured as per above it will allow configuration and diagnostics
access for all remote modules from the PC connected to the Central 915U-2 module.
WIBMesh Software can then be used to configure modules across the radio network.
