Software Release 4.1
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 AP. 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. For a description of interactions
between settings of these types of passwords, see Display-Only Access
on Page 82 and Full Access on Page 82.
NOTE: If the operator forgets either the password or the IP address for the module, a
Canopy system override plug can be used to regain access. For details, see
Overriding IP Address and Password Setting on Page 66.
2. Populate the Site Name, Site Location, and Site Contact fields. This is for only
information purposes. See
• Site Name on Page 85.
• Site Contact on Page 85.
• Site Location on Page 86.
7.4 INSTALLING THE AP
NOTE: 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.
To install the Canopy AP, perform the following steps:
Procedure 14: Installing the AP
1. Remove the base cover of the AP. (See Figure 24 on Page 61.)
2. In the powered down state, attach the cables to the AP.
(See Cabling the AP on Page 62.)
3. Choose the best mounting location for your particular application. Modules need not be
mounted next to each other. They can be distributed throughout a given site. Mounting can
be done with stainless steel hose clamps or another equivalent fastener.
