Configuration; Initial Configuration - Honeywell OW-CDX050 User Manual

Initial configuration

Once you have received the multinode and associated hardware and physically inspected
it for any damaged components, you then perform an initial setup of the unit. This
should be peformed before the multinode is installed in the network at its designated
physical location. The setup requires that you select configuration options, such as
operating mode, security encryption and IP address, which gives the unit an identity.
Also, the multinode must be given a security key to associate it with the wireless network
in which it will be installed and operate (authentication). Completing setup and
authentication will allow the multinode to join the network and communicate in the
network.
TIP
When configuring multiple multinodes using the same option settings, you
can create a template (configuration file) which contains the multinode
settings, so that the template can be loaded to the multinodes.

•
NOTE: The configuration file that you download to a local computer and use
to configure additional multinodes contains both configuration parameters
and some network parameters such as the IP address and hostname.

See System Administration for more information on downloading
configuration files.
