this doesn’t happen.
LAN1 IP: enter in the IP address that will be associated with the Ethernet connection on this
module. The default address is 169.254.1.1.
The radio buttons to the right of the IP address field offer the ability to make the LAN 1 IP either a
local or publicly accessible address. If the address is designated a local address it will only be
accessible via the host computer (network) that is connected to the module via the Ethernet cable.
If the address is designated a public address it will be accessible network-wide. The default for this
feature is for the address to be local. If the IP address is forgotten, the operator will need physical
access to the module and will need to create a Canopy “default plug”. See steps to create and use
a default plug in the section on the Timing Master.
LAN1 Subnet Mask: enter in an appropriate subnet mask for the module to “talk” on the network.
The default value for this parameter is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: enter in an appropriate gateway address for the module. The default value for
this parameter is 169.254.0.0.
Color Code: enter in a value (0-254). The color code on the subscriber module and the access
point module
must match in order for registration to occur. Color code is not a security feature. It
is a means for the Canopy System operator to segregate an individual network or neighbor Canopy
networks. Also, color code can be used to force a subscriber module to only register to a specific
access point module even though the subscriber module may be able to see multiple access point
modules. The default value for this parameter is 0 on all Canopy modules.
Display-Only Password: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The display-only
password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module. When the display-only
password is set and not the full-access password, the display-only password will be tied to telnet
and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access password is also set then it has precedence on
the telnet and FTP sessions. If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to
the module and will need to create a Canopy “default plug” to override the unit. See steps to create
and use a default plug in the section on the Timing Master.
Full-Access Password: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The full-access
password, when used, will allow view and change activities to the module. When the full-access
password is set, the password will also be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. When
prompted for the password via the web-based interface, there is no username required; however
when prompted for the password via a telnet or FTP session, the user that MUST be used is “root”.
If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will need to
create a Canopy “default plug” to override the unit. See steps to create and use a default plug in
the section on the Timing Master.
Webpage Auto Update: enter time period (in seconds) desired to have the web browser refresh
the web-based interface. The default setting is 0, which will cause the web-based interface to
never refresh.
SM Power Up Mode with No 802.3 Link: choose which mode the module will default to when
there is no Ethernet connection sensed by the module. There are two modes available, the first is
Alignment mode and the second is Operational mode. Operational mode is the default setting.
Bridge Timeout Entry: choose the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with
