The Airborne™ EVB can support all device personalities
available within the B+B SmartWorx product line. A device
personality is a specic conguration of the Airborne™
device which performs a certain function. Examples
include Ethernet Router, Serial Device Server, SPI Device
Server, etc. The EVB is shipped with the default personality
set as an Industrial Serial Devices Server.
Changing the personality to match your application is
the rst thing you should do when working with the EVB.
It is important to select the appropriate personality. The
following table outlines the personalities and their specic
functionality:

The Change Module Personality web page displays the
available device personalities.
After selecting the appropriate personality, you must press
the Commit button and restart the module to save and apply
the change.
Note: The web interface is context sensitive. Not all of the elds will be visible
without a context change.

To evaluate the unit, you will need the following
components and facilities:
• EVB unit with included antenna attached.
• Laptop or desktop system with an Ethernet port.
• Power outlet for power supply.
• 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n network for testing the unit,
either AdHoc or Infrastructure (access points) mode.
The test network conguration must be known.
Required information will include:
o SSID (wireless network name).
o Security settings (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.).
o Security credentials (passphrase, key or certicates).
o Static IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address if static
IP addresses are used on the test network.
• A web browser on the laptop/desktop are supported.
(Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome v4.0)
Open the Airborne™ Evaluation Kit packaging and locate
the Install CD.
Place the CD in the CD/DVD drive of the laptop or desktop
that you will be using to congure the Airborne device.
Follow the on-screen directions for installation of the
appropriate device software and documentation.
Ethernet connection

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the EVB
and to an Ethernet port on the laptop or desktop system.
Change the IP conguration of the laptop/desktop Ethernet
interface to Obtain an IP Address Automatically.
Power
4
Apply power to the Evaluation Kit by moving the Power
switch (SW1) to the Power On position.
The EVB will boot. Conrm that the POST LED is illuminated
(orange), indicating the module is ready to be congured.
If the POST LED is not illuminated, do the following:
• Check the power connections and reapply power.
• Make sure that SW1 is in the correct position (Power On).
• Even though the module is ready to be congured, you
may have to wait a minute for the module and laptop/
desktop to fall back to the 169.254.x.x IP address.
If the POST LED still does not illuminate, contact B+B
SmartWorx Technical Support.
