Network Configuration – Device Manager
Device Manager is a utility located on the MeshManager server. It is used to configure and
monitor the deployed network. Refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide for detailed instructions
on how to use the Device Manager.
MEA systems are delivered with the initial configuration of IAPs, WRs, and SDs in the
MeshManager system. This allows for easy testing of the system as units are tested on site.
Network Configuration – IAP Configuration Via Web Interface
A second method of performing various network configuration functions for an IAP may be
accomplished using a standard web browser. Connect a host PC to the switch in the MiSC.
Using a standard Internet Browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Netscape, enter the
IP Address corresponding to the IAP’s SBC MAC to be configured as shown in Figure 17. It
is recommended that you install and configure the IAPs one at a time.
Figure 17. MEA Device Administration Connection
A Log On window for the Administration Utility will be displayed in the browser, as shown in
Figure 18. Before the Administration Utility is displayed, the user must complete the simple
logon procedure before proceeding. The default login is admin and the password is admin.
The password can be changed, as described further in this document.
