Cooper Bussmann Wireless Ethernet & Device Server BU-945U-E 802.11 DSSS User Manual

•Enter the IP address for the BU-945U-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)

3.4 Quick Start

The BU-945U-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 con- figuration 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 the Network Configuration section 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-945U-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.”

Radio Data Rate and Channel will be set to Auto, Radio Transmit Power will be set to maximum and any previous configuration of unrelated parameters will not be modified, and will still apply.
