If you used DHCP, verify that the IP address is correctly set. If you used the default 192.0.0.192 IP address, you MUST change it to a new valid IP address. If necessary, change the Subnet Mask and Gateway. It is generally not necessary to change the other parameters on this page (refer to Chapter 5 for advanced configuration information.

Note that on-line help information is available on every configuration page.

Click the Submit button at the bottom of the window (you may need to scroll) to save your changes.

NOTE: If you are using DHCP on your network, the SX- 500 should have acquired valid IP settings at this point and no further configuration is necessary. However, for some installations, a static IP address is preferred. If your DHCP server does not allow the SX-500 to keep its assigned IP address permanently, then you must manually assign an IP address. In this case, use a static IP address outside the range reserved for DHCP (see your DHCP server documentation for details). To assign a static IP address, select Set Permanent as the IP Address Resolution, and assign a valid static IP address for your network. Click on OK to save the new settings.

4. Click Wireless on the left side of the screen to configure the 802.11a/b/g wireless settings (for WLAN models only; skip to the next section if you have an Ethernet model). To operate on an 802.11a/b/g network, the Serial Device Server configuration must be configured with the wireless configuration and security parameters required to allow the Serial Device Server to communicate over your wireless network (check with your network administrator if you do not know these parameters).

Select either Infrastructure (if you are using an access point) or Ad Hoc (point-to-point) as the wireless mode

Enter the SSID for your network

If you are using Ad Hoc, select the RF channel (not required for infrastructure)

The other parameters on this page do not normally need to be changed (refer to Chapter 5 for information on advanced configuration).

Click the Submit button at the bottom of the window (you may need to scroll) to save your changes.

Now click Configure Network Security to configure the wireless security parameters.
