3.19 System Tools

The System Tools Page has a number of tools that help maintain the module firmware and configuration.

Configuration Summary

This option is used to save all the different configuration pages onto one page, for easy viewing.

 

Page can also be saved (using the File/Save As function on the drop File Menu) for future reference

 

and emailing to Coopre Bussmann Support in the event of any configuration problems.

System Log File

Shows an event log of the modules operation, used for diagnosing problems. Page can be saved and

 

emailed to Coopre Bussmann if requested. “Clear System Log” will clear out the log file and start fresh.

Read Configuration

This option will show the module configuration in XML format. This file can be saved for future reference.

Write Configuration

Any configuration XML files saved using the “Read Configuration” above can be loaded back into

 

the module

Firmware Upgrade

This option is used for firmware upgrades. Load the file using the “Browse” button and when found

 

press “Send” which will load the file into the module. When completed press “Reset” Firmware

 

upgrade can be done locally or remotely via the radio.

Reset

Resets the module

Factory Default Configuration

Loads the Factory default configuration and resets. CAUTION – Doing this will overwrite any

 

current configuration

3.20 Remote Configuration

Because a module configuration is viewed and changed in a web format (which uses TCP/IP protocol), you can view or change the configuration of a remote module via the wireless link, provided the remote module already have a wireless link established to the local BU-945U-E.

To perform remote configuration, connect a PC to the local module, run Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the remote unit (or device name if using DNS) - the configuration page of the remote module will be shown and changes can be made.

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 the 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.
