Page 11: Dhcp And Defaults
DHCP and Defaults The set of 4 switches near the Ethernet port allow you to do some basic configuration. Switches 1 and 4 are reserved and should not be used. Switch 2 is used to reset the ZW-REC to factory defaults. This is useful if the IP address or password to the ZW-REC is lost. -
Page 12: Dimensions And Mounting
Before powering up the ZW-REC ensure the supplied antenna is properly installed. Running the ZW-REC without an antenna or with an unapproved antenna may cause damage to the device and/or cause operation outside of regulatory compliance. Omega Engineering accepts no liability and issues no warranty for devices operated improperly. -
Page 13: Choosing A Network Id
3.2 Choosing a Network ID The Network ID (NID) selects which End Devices the ZW-REC communicates with. The NID is selected using the DIP switches found on the back of the device. If this ZW- REC is replacing an existing receiver in a wireless sensor installation, determine which NID is currently used and use the same one. -
