• 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.. (A reset/reboot will be

required thought for all the changes to take effect.)

Note: Although the LOS-5000-00AB has two network interfaces (its Ethernet

and Wi-Fi ports) in the vast majority of cases, only its Wi-Fi port is actually

connected to an operational network. If enabled, the Ethernet port must be

configured to be on a different subnet than the Wi-Fi port. In this case, it is

recommended that a non-routable IP address be used such as

192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0, to enable local diagnostics via the Ethernet port.

The Wi-Fi antenna setting is available in firmware versions V5.0.2 or later

(Build Date Apr 30 2012 or later). The antenna selection is set under

802.11Client Menu, which is reached from the Main Menu via the

Diagnostics Menu. There are currently three antenna choices to select from,

and these match the Wi-Fi antennas that are offered on the marketing price

list. The selection is entered under the “Select Antenna” menu item.

• AK-170-00 2.2dBi Dipole Antenna (Rubber Duck) , Selection ANT4941
