Setting Up the Network

Configuring the WDM, PCN and FDN Network Properties

WARNING! You must turn on a single WDM at a time at the default address
because a second WDM removes itself from the network if a duplicate default
address is detected. The removed WDM does not recover unless power-cycled.
• The access point(s) must be provisioned with the network security keys generated
by the WDM in order to actively communicate with the WDM. For details about
provisioning the access points, refer to Chapter 10,
Devices, of this user manual.
Configuring the WDM, PCN and FDN Network Properties
Next, you must configure the WDM and PCN network properties. Stated briefly, you will
power up the PC on the PCN LAN and configure the PC to connect with the WDM. For
the WDM, you will enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address and Port. Then, ping the
WDM to confirm the IP address is good.
If the WDM is a new unit or a unit which has returned to factory defaults, the First Time
Configuration Wizard will guide you through the WDM configuration process.
Configuring the PC to Communicate with the WDM
Windows XP - Configure the PC to communicate with the WDM:
• On the computer, go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
• Right click the network port connected to the WDM and click Properties. The
Properties dialog opens.
• On the General tab, select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box, and then click
the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) dialog opens.
• Configure the IP address as 192.168.1.x and Subnet Mask as 255.255.255.0.
• Click OK to close the Properties dialog.

 Write down the current settings in Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) so
that you can return to the original values if necessary.
