Cooper Bussmann BU-245U-E Wireless Ethernet & Device Server User Manual
• Open Internet Explorer and ensure that settings will allow you to connect to the IP address selected. If the PC uses a proxy server, ensure that
Internet Explorer will bypass the Proxy Server for local addresses. This option may be modified by opening Tools -> Internet Options ->
Connections Tab -> LAN Settings->Proxy Server -> bypass proxy for local addresses.
• Enter the IP address for the BU-245U-E into the Internet Explorer Address bar e.g. http://10.10.0.6 which is the IP address you temporarily
configured with the ifconfig command.
• Enter the username “user” and default password “user.”
• You should now be connected to the main index page on the modem as per figure 1 above.
• From here connect to the Network page and change the Ethernet Interface and Wireless Interface IP addresses to 10.10.0.6. Switch the
RUN/SETUP switch back to RUN and press “Save Changes and Reset” button.
Note: As the modem can be setup numerous ways, e.g.Bridge, Router, etc this setup will allow the modem to appear on the 10.10.0.X network.
Any other configuration changes can be done after this initial connection (see the following sections on configuration)
3.3 Quick Start Configuration
The BU-245U-E has a Quick Start Configuration option, which will
cover most important parameters that are needed to get an initial
connection.This is the first stage of the module configuration. For
most applications, no further configuration is required.For more
advanced applications, the other parameters can be changed via the
normal configuration pages after the Quick Start configuration has
been saved.
Select “Quick Start”from the Main Menu and then you need to select
the following parameters:

Quick Start Configuration

Operating Mode Access Point or Client. Bridge operation is assumed - for Router selection,go to the Network page
after Quick Start
Default Gateway This is the address that the device will use to forward messages to remote hosts that are not
connected to any of the local bridged network (Ethernet or Wireless)
IP Address / Subnet Mask IP Address and Subnet Mask for your application.
System Address (ESSID) The system address is a text string 1 to 31 characters in length used to identifies your system
Radio Encryption Radio encryption selection - None, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES) or WPA2 –
refer to section 3.5 “Security Menu”if WEP or Enterprise encryption is required.
WPA Passphrase 128bit Encryption keys are internally generated based on the Passphrase and System Address (ESSID).
The Passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters in length, and must be the same for all
BU-245U-E units in the same system.
The default settings will be shown. If your system is connecting individual devices which are not connected to an existing Ethernet LAN,then you
can use the factory default IP values. If you are connecting to an existing LAN, then you need to change the IP addresses to match your LAN
addresses.
After configuring, select “Save to Flash and Reset.”
