Network Settings Webpage Fields
Device Mode Used to select Bridge or Router mode.
By default this is set to Bridge.
Operating Mode Used to select Access Point or Client mode.
By default this is set to Client.
Bridge Priority The priority of the WI-MOD-9-E, if configured as a bridge, in the
Bridge Spanning Tree algorithm. By default this is set to the lowest
priority at 255.
This setting will have no effect and should not be used unless the
redundant wireless links are being used. This is explained in Section
3.9
MAC Address This is the unique hardware address of the WI-MOD-9-E, assigned
in the Factory. For the majority of systems, this item should not be
changed. If the device is to be connected to equipment that will only
communicate with a set MAC Address, the WI-MOD-9-E may clone
that MAC address.
Gateway IP Address This is only required if the wired LAN has a Gateway unit which
connects to devices beyond the LAN - for example, Internet access.
If there is no Gateway on the LAN, set to the same address as the
Access Point - that is, the “Ethernet IP Address” below.
Ethernet IP Address The IP address of the WI-MOD-9-E on its Ethernet port. This
should be set to the IP address you require.
Ethernet IP Subnet Mask The IP network mask of the WI-MOD-9-E on its Ethernet port. This
should be set to the IP address you require.
Wireless IP Address The IP address of the WI-MOD-9-E on the wireless port. If the unit
is configured as a bridge this address will be the same as the Ethernet
IP address. If configured as a router, the IP address must be different
from the Ethernet IP Address - it must be consistent with the LAN it
is connecting to on the wired side.
Wireless IP Subnet Mask The network mask of the WI-MOD-9-E on the radio port. If
configured as a Bridge, this must be the same as the Ethernet IP
Subnet Mask.
System Address A WI-MOD-9-E network comprises modules with the same "system
address”. Only modules with the same system address will
communicate with each other.
The system address is a text string 1 to 31 characters in length and is
normally automatically generated by the System Generator String.
Radio Encryption Select “None”, “64-bit” or “128 AES” security encryption of the
