4. Configuration
Accessing units
- Default IP addresses for Ethernet access: 192.168.169.169/24 (L unit and 192.168.169.170/24 (U unit
- Default IP address for USB/WiFi or USB/Eth access: 172.17.17.17/24 (both units
Ethernet access - set computer IP address within the range 192.168.169.1-255. USB/WiFi or USB/Eth access - IP address
set automatically by DHCP (enabled by default, can be disabled in unit management . Recommended USB adapter must be
plugged in to the unit. Default WiFi setting is without any password (recommended is to set one immediately .
- Web browser access to management: - Antenna Alignment Tool:
http://172.17.17.17 (both units, USB/WiFi or USB/Eth http://172.17.17.17/tk (both units, USB/WiFi or USB/Eth
or http://192.168.169.169 (L unit, Ethernet or http://192.168.169.169/tk (L unit, Ethernet
or http://192.168.169.170 (U unit, Ethernet or http://192.168.169.170/tk (U unit, Ethernet
Defaults: Username: admin, Password: admin no Username or Password is required for Tool
Secure HTTPS access can be optionally used instead (use „secured version“ below main entry to the management and then
accept the https security certificate issued by RACOM .
If the units are linked to each other, the status indicator in management interface states “OK” and status LED “AIR” lights
green. If not, utilize the antenna alignment (see pict. 10 and Antenna Alignment Tool above .
Configuration and backup of basic parameters
- Set bandwidth, channels, modulation, power, IP addresses (do not use the default ones), Access channels (ssh, https..).
- Change the password, restart both units and check the link status (to verify that the parameters are saved correctly).
- Backup the configuration in the ools / Maintenance / Backup / Settings menu. Store the backup file to your PC.
