___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 5.3.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 5.3.3 IPv4 DHCP Dynamic IP for WhreLAN-III Devices It is possible to have a WhereLAN-III device automatically acquire an IPv4 address from a DHCP server. This IP assignment is dynamic and therefore the assigned IP may change the next time the device is rebooted.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide o In the Sensor Properties window in System Builder, select the IPv4 – DHCP option: This will result in an entry for this sensor in sitedata.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 5.3.4 SNMP and DNS Support in WHERELAN-III Devices The WhereLAN-III firmware version 5.0.1 includes support for the SNMP and DNS network protocols.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 5.3.5 WhereLAN-III MAC Legacy Compatibility The WhereLAN-III MAC address is not directly compatible for replacing a WhereLAN-II at an existing site that is running a version of VSS prior to 4.0.5.2, and WhereWAND’s that are running software that is from VSS prior to 4.0.5.2. Location Sensors use 4 unique embedded tags id’s, for Timing and Health.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide WhereLAN-III MAC addresses now ends in either 2, 6, A, and E. This new MAC scheme allows more efficient use of the MAC space defined for this product and easy recognition by users and the system in identify a unit as a WhereLan-III or II by just looking at its MAC.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide There are three ways to fix these issues. 1. The best is to have the customer site upgrade to VSS 4.0.5.2 or later, which has the tools and system builder that take care of the issues directly. 2. The next best is to see if the customer will allow new tools to be loaded onto their system, if they require an approval time for full VSS. The tools will be the System Builder and iSensor from the VSS 4.0.5.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 3. Otherwise, In legacy VSS systems using legacy tools, the MAC address must be adjusted by subtracting 2 from the MAC address that is listed on the unit, see table below.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide Each WhereLAN III is shipped with a label set containing one label (Figure 2) with the bar coded MAC address of the unit and its Wi-Fi client (as applicable) and three labels with the last six characters of the Location Sensor’s MAC address in large type. Ensure that the label is correct by matching the MAC address(es) on the loose label set with the MAC address(es) listed on the back of the unit.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide While there is no restriction to the IP address, it must match the address in the Site file for that particular WhereLAN III. The IP address(es) can be static assigned, or dynamically assigned via DHCP. If assigned through DHCP, the DHCP server must contain the MAC address and corresponding IP address for each of the Location Sensors (and Wi-Fi Client).
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide • Select 1 for setting Boot Method, Flash for internal image or Network for image. (Flash is default and most commonly used). • Select 2 for wired LAN Port IP setting or 3 WLAN client IP/DHCP setting. • Save the configuration changes by using ESC key entering the password “ff2”. • Note Changes take effect on unit reboot/reset.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide 5.4 Wi-Fi Client Configuration (LOS-5000-00AB only) The Wi-Fi client card embedded in the WhereLAN III must be configured with the proper IP address or for DHCP set and the Interface must be ON. In addition, the Wi-Fi network parameters, such as the SSID, and authentication and encryption methods, must be configured in the wpa_supplicant, (See sections 5.4.
___________________________________________________________________________ WhereLAN III User’s Guide • Save the configuration changes by using ESC key entering the password “ff2”. • Select either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ at this point, depending on if further configuration needs to take place..
