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
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.
