2. Web interface. This is a Graphical User Interface with the common settings for the BAT-C. 3. AT commands. Connect to the BAT-C over Ethernet using TCP or directly on Layer 2 and use a terminal like HyperTerminal to issue AT commands. Everything you can do in the Web interface and much more is supported using the AT commands.
A + B + C + D Use the "Enable DHCP server" option to access the BAT-C if the PC is using DHCP without having to change the PC IP settings. Use this option when directly connecting the PC to the BAT-C.

If the device is set to the factory default, you will need to login using the password private before configuring the unit. When the BAT-C receives an IP address from DHCP Server, then use the IP address to access device.
This means that you connect ONE Ethernet device at a time to each BAT-C. 3. Multi-Client mode. In this mode, the BAT-C is acting as in Client mode but with the addition of connecting several devices using the IP layer.
If you are using WPA/WPA2 PSK authentication enter either, the pre-shared key, i.e. the hexadecimal string or the password, in plain text, commonly referred to as “WPA-PSK” and “WPA-PWD”. If you select to enter a password, rather than a hexadecimal string, the BAT-C BAT-C...

While the BAT-C is calculating the real key, it will be unresponsive. By default, the device enters the key as an ASCII string. To enter a hexadecimal key, separate the bytes using a “\”...
It might be necessary to configure the setup manually, when the predefined IP addresses are already in use in your network. 1. Power on the first BAT-C and enter the WEB configuration, see "Using the WEB configuration". 2. Enter the desired IP Address (IP_ADDR1), Netmask and Default Gateway, press "Set IP".

10. Select the Operational mode "Ad-Hoc" and select the same channel as above. Press "Set General". 11. Repeat steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 above. Using the same values as entered in the previous BAT-C. Now, the devices will tunnel Ethernet packets between the two Ethernet segments.
Overview: This example is using two BAT-C’s connected in Ethernet Bridge mode. This example supports several Ethernet devices on each side of the BAT-C. The device bridges Ethernet data through an UDP tunnel and uses the Managed (Infrastructure) mode. 3.2.1 How to setup this example?
WEP/ WPA/ WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) Overview: This example is using two BAT-C’s connected in Ethernet Bridge mode. In this example, connect one of the BAT-C’s to a wired. The Managed (Infrastructure) mode is used. 3.3.1 How to setup this example?
Overview: This example is using two BAT-C’s connected in the Client mode. This example supports one Ethernet device connected to each BAT-C. This example will have a higher performance than when using the Ethernet Bridging option. No encapsulation of the Ethernet packages is required.
3.5.1 How to setup this example? Both BAT-C’s operate in the Client mode in this example. 1. Connect a PC to the BAT-C. For more information on how to connect to a BAT-C, see section Using the WEB configuration.

Select the SSID of the Access Point. WLAN Address Enter the MAC address of the device connected to the BAT-C or use SMART to assign the MAC address (see next bullet). Note: As an alternative to entering the MAC address manually, use the SMART mode 11.
Ad-Hoc mode Encryption Overview: In this SMART mode 11, connect ONE Ethernet device to the BAT-C. Use the PC to access the Ethernet device using an Ethernet-based protocol, i.e. a built-in Web interface or using an Ethernet-based communication protocol, i.e. Modbus/TCP.

How to setup the PC is dependent on the Wireless LAN solution supported for the PC. Use the WLAN GUI to search for an Ad-Hoc network with the same SSID as the one set for the BAT-C. Select WEP as encryption and select the same WEP key that you entered during the BAT-C configuration.
(Infrastructure) mode, which results in a higher performance. 3.7.1 How to setup this example? The BAT-C must operate in the Client mode in this example. 1. Connect a PC to the BAT-C. For more information on how to connect to a BAT-C, see “Using the WEB section configuration”.

Layer-2 communication while the others need to use the IP layer. When configuring the BAT-C in the Client mode and there is no link on the Ethernet port, it will use a temporary Multi-Client mode instead. Once there is an Ethernet link, the BAT-C will revert to the Client mode.
