Setting Up Wireless Ethernet

The SetNetGo OS is used to configure the wireless Ethernet, among other things. Refer to the
Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide for details.
NOTE: The AIV can work without wireless Ethernet. If there are no other AIVs that
it needs to know about (and avoid), you can have an installation in which the AIV
simply uses its map, knows its patrol route, and performs without human inter-
vention.
NOTE: For all of the following settings, work with your IT group to verify the cor-
rect IP, radio, and security settings.
The following applies to the wireless Ethernet supported by the platform.
Access the SetNetGo OS through the MobilePlanner software:
MobilePlanner > SetNetGo > Networking
NOTE: You can use a web browser to connect directly to the SetNetGo OS on a plat-
form. This allows your IT support to set up the network for you, without using
MobilePlanner which requires a license.
IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, DNS1
Choose Static (DHCP is not recommended), and fill in the IP address, netmask, gateway, and
DNS1, as supplied by your network administrator.
NOTE: See your IT department for the following settings.
