Cooper Bussmann Wireless Ethernet & Device Server BU-945U-E 802.11 DSSS User Manual
3.3 Configuring the Unit for the First Time
The BU-945U-E has a built-in web server, containing web pages for analyzing and modifying the module’s configuration. The configuration can be accessed using Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 7 or greater. This program is shipped with Microsoft Windows or may be obtained freely via the Microsoft® website. If using other browsers they must be fully compliant with IE7 SSL security.
NOTE: Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6 will not load web pages due to a compatibility issue between IE6 and SSL-security web sites.
Default Configuration
The default factory configuration of the BU-945U-E is:
•Client/Bridge/
•IP address192.168.0.1XX, where XX is the last two digits of the serial number (the default IP address is shown on the printed label on the back of the module)
•netmask 255.255.255.0
•Username is “user” and the default password is “user”
The BU-945U-E will temporarily load some factory-default settings if powered up with the Factory Default switch (on the end-plate of the module) in SETUP position. When in SETUP mode, wireless operation is disabled. The previous configuration remains stored in non-volatile memory and will only change if a configuration parameter is modified and the change saved.
Do not forget to set the switch back to the RUN position and cycle power at the conclusion of configuration for resumption of normal operation.
Accessing Configuration for the First Time
Because the Default IP address is in the range 192.168.0.XXX it may not connect to you network or PC so there are two methods for accessing the configuration for the first time.
Method 1 - Change your computer settings so that the configuring PC is on the same network as the BU-945U-E with factory default set- tings. This is the preferred method and is much less complicated than the second method. You will need a “straight-through” Ethernet cable between the PC Ethernet port and the BU-945U-E. The factory default Ethernet address for the BU-945U-E is 192.168.0.1XX where
XXare the last two digits of the serial number (check the label on the back of the module).
Method 2 - Requires temporarily changing the IP address in the BU-945U-E via an RS232 connection such that it is accessible on your network without having to change your PC network settings. When connected you can change the modem network settings to match that of your network.
