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 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.
