CR-SEBX Quick Start Guide

1. a provision for the filtering of multicast and broadcast packets In many networks there are sufficient multicast and or broadcast pack ets to slow the overall performance of the CR SEBX Based on the number of broadcast and multicast packets they can consume a substantial amount of the RF bandwidth By turning filtering on the CR SEBX will ignore these packets and limit transmission to packets with specific device addresses In some instances it is desirable to have the CR SEBX transmit the multicast and broad cast packets in such cases filtering should be disabled Note that filtering broadcast packets also filters multicast packets but filtering multicast packets does not filter broadcast packets If requiring a login is desired select Yes from the drop down menu and the Username Access code Password and Password Verify fields will become active If requiring a login is not desired selecting No grays out the fields and renders them inactive Click on Apply then click on Save Settings to store the system configuration changes in non volatile FLASH memory The user may either click on Reset to reboot the processor click on Logout to end the browser session or simply close the browser window 3 Run a communications test To run a communications test connect the Master CR SEBX to the central network The Slave CR SEBX can be connected to the remote device network segment or be left unconnected to any network Wit2. CR SEBX is on This indicates that the Slave CR SEBX has linked to the Master CR SEBX through the wireless connection The RF Link LED is on for the Master CR SEBX when any one Slave CR SEBxX is linked If a DHCP or BOOTP server is being used the Slave CR SEBX will be assigned an IP address immediately after linking with the Master If a DHCP or BOOTP server is not available the IP address of the Slave CR SEBX must be set manually Refer to Step 1b Once the Slave CR SEBxX is linked with the Master CR SEBX from a PC on the network ping the Master CR SEBX Use the Ping program under Windows and the IP address assigned to the Master CR SEBX Note If a router is between the PC and the CR SEBxX check with your network administrator to make sure the router will pass the pings through Next from the same PC ping the Slave CR SEBX by using the Slave CR SEBX IP address instead of the Master IP address This ping operation will exercise the wireless link between the Master and Slave CR SEBXs If the Slave CR SEBX is connected to an Ethernet device that supports pings ping that device by using its IP address in place of the Slave CR SEBX s IP address These ping tests validate the entire link from the central wired network to the end Ethernet device Additional settings are available for issues such as e Avoiding interference with 802 11 Wireless Ethernet LANs e Co locating multiple radio networks e Conforming to European power requi
3. ct the CR SEBX to a hub or router Plug one end of the Ethernet Cable into the CR SEBX and the other end into the PC or network using the appropriate cable A pair of CR SEBXs is setup by performing the following steps 1a Assign IP addresses to the CR SEBXs using a DHCP server OR 1b Assign IP addresses to the CR SEBXs using the IP Hunter Utility which is included on the CR SEBX Install CD See Page 2 2 Set one CR SEBX to be the Master using the HTML Browser Session See Page 3 3 Run a communications test See Page 3 1a Assign IP addresses to the CR SEBXs using a DHCP or BOOTP server The CR SEBX is shipped from the factory set up to receive its IP address from a DHCP or BOOTP server If a server is not available please go to step 1b to manually assign the IP addresses Verify the Ethernet Link LED is green After a few seconds the DHCP or BOOTP server can be queried to determine the IP address assigned The MAC address of the CR SEBxX is on the side of the unit and the default host name is Cirronet_ SEM Note CR SEBXs are shipped from the factory with the IP address set to 0 0 0 0 1b Assign IP addresses to the CR SEBXs using IP Hunter When connecting the CR SEBX to a network without a DHCP or BOOTP server or in situations where they will not be used to set the IP addresses the CR SEBX CD has a device detection and IP setting utility named IP Hunter This utility will detect all Cirronet Ethernet devices on t
