4.3.9 Access Control (continued)

System Home Page menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an

Administrator password. The default Login password is 12345678. This password

can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System will not require a

password to access and modify any of the menu items, except the “Access

Control” page.

Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the

"Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be

up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System

will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.

Host Name: Name of the server (DNS) max 16 characters, default is “wis” and

the last 4 digits of the MAC address. Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.

MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which

is assigned to the wiDR at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address

is the wiDR’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.

IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies

each sender or wiDR of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or

the Internet. The wiDR’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The wiDR’s IP

address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with

your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

The DHCP will be enabled in the wiDR if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The

DHCP can also be enabled by setting the 4 position DIP switch #3 to ON.

Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to

another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to

direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the wiDR is sending

packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the

wiDR is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the wiDR. The

gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same

LAN to which the wiDR is connected. The wiDR default gateway address is 0.0.0.0.

Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Subnet Mask: It’s a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP

address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The wiDR

default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for

obtaining a subnet mask.

Save: Saves any changes for above settings.

Reset: Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their original values.

Network Reset: Reboots the embedded server. Note that all updated network
