Software Release 4.1
7.3.3 Configuration Procedure
This procedure includes both required and optional settings.
Required Steps
Perform the following steps to configure the SM:
Procedure 12: Setting mandatory Configuration page parameters
1. Remove the base cover of the SM. (See Figure 29 on Page 69.)
2. In the powered down state, connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on both the SM
and the computer.
3. Connect a power source to the SM.
RESULT: When power is applied to a Canopy module or the unit is reset on the web-
based interface, the module requires approximately 25 seconds to boot. During this
interval, self-tests and other diagnostics are being performed. See Diagnostic LEDs on
Page 70.
4. Assign an RF frequency for the module. See Custom RF Frequency Scan Selection List on
Page 87.
5. Assign an IP address to the module for the target network, and assign an appropriate
subnet mask and network gateway. See
• LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, IP Address on Page 93.
• LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask on Page 93.
• LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address on Page 93.
6. Configure the appropriate color code on the SM so that SM can register. See Color Code
on Page 87.
Optional Steps
In addition, the operator can perform the following optional steps:
Procedure 13: Setting optional Configuration page parameters
1. Assign as many as several passwords to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to
the web-based interface of the SM. From the factory, no default password is assigned and
password protection is turned off.
− Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters. Any combination of characters is
allowed, except for the following special characters:
“,.‘{}/\
;:[]()`~
− Either of two types of passwords can be configured: display-only or full-access.
The display-only password allows the operator to view the current status of
the module. The full-access password allows the operator to both view the
current status and change the module configuration. The red lettering to
the right of the entry fields indicates that a password is set, but does not
allow the operator see the password.
