3.15 Module Information Configuration

Module Information Webpage Fields

This configuration page is primarily for information purposes. With the exception of the

password, the information entered here is displayed on the root webpage of the 805U-E.

Password

Configuration password.

When changing the password on this screen, it will be sent

unencrypted over any wired network. If encryption is enabled on

the 805U-E, any radio communications are encrypted, and therefore

hidden from radio eavesdroppers. Caution must only be taken if

there are potential eavesdroppers on the wired network.

Device Name A text field if you wish to label the particular 805U-E.

Owner A text field for owner name.

Contact A text field for owner phone number, email address etc.

Description A text field used for a description of the purpose of the unit.

Location A text field used to describe the location of the 805U-E.

3.16 Remote Configuration

Because a module configuration is viewed and changed in a web format (which is an Ethernet

application), you can view or change the configuration of a remote module via the wireless

link, provided the remote module is already “linked” to the local 805U-E.

To perform remote configuration, connect a PC to the local module, run Internet Explorer

and enter the IP address of the remote unit - the configuration page of the remote module

will be shown and changes can be made. If the remote module is configured as a Router,

enter the wireless IP address of the router, not the Ethernet address.

Care must be taken if modifying the configuration of a module remotely. If the Radio

Configuration is changed, some changes made may cause loss of the radio link, and therefore

the network connection.

It is advisable to determine path of the links to the modules you wish to modify, and draw a

tree diagram if necessary. Modify the modules at the “leaves” of your tree diagram. These

will be the furthest away from your connection point in terms of the number of radio or

Ethernet links.

In a simple system, this usually means modifying the Client modules first and the Access

Point last.
