2. Configuring the TRIMAR AP

Basic Procedure

The TRIMAR AP uses a web-based administration utility. To access this utility you will need to use Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or a compatible web-browser.

Accessing the web-based administration utility:

1.Connect a PC either directly to the TRIMAR radio. If the radio is already configured for operation on an established network, connect to it via a network route.

2.The PC connecting with a TRIMAR radio’s web-based administration utility must be on the same IP subnet as the radio. (See insets at right).

3.Enter the IP address of the TRIMAR into the web-browser window and click “Go”.

The OTC Device Locator program can be found on the CD that is distributed with the TRIMAR AP. Install it on to the PC by creating a folder for it and copying the

.exe and .dll file into the new folder.

The Locator will locate all OTC AVCW and TRIMAR radios within the same network. Its primary use is to identify the IP and MAC addresses of the radios.

The PC running the program needs to have a wireless card; be connected to the same network; or directly with at least one OTC 802.11g radio. To use the program, simply click the “Scan” button and wait for the program to report its findings. If the PC and the radio being accessed are already on the same IP subnet, clicking on the “Web” button will open the default web-browser, which will proceed to connect directly with the selected product’s web-based administration utility.
