Description

The target of the Airlink LS300 is the Alarming Module. Its purpose is to Send and Receive SMS
messages. Essentially, it is going to be utilized as an SMS gateway. As an example, Ignition picks up
information from a PLC that the water temperature is too hot. Ignition sends an SMS message via the
AirLink LS300 to contacts assigned to that alarm. It is received by a contact, which is then acknowledged
via SMS by the contact. This SMS message is sent back and received by Ignition via the AirLink.

LS300 and Network Security

The security settings covered here are basic steps to secure the LS300. Inductive Automation is not
responsible for the security of your LS300. You should take the time to configure and test the current
and other security measures as appropriate to your network.
Inductive Automation tested this router as a device that sits inside a network. Therefore, it needs to be
configured to act simply as another device on the network, not as a router or DHCP Server etc. Its sole
purpose is to handle SMS traffic.

Configuration and ACEManager

To access the modem's configuration information and be able to change it, you will be accessing what is
called the ACEManager. This can be accessed via Ethernet, USB or Serial. This document will only cover
Ethernet access. The recommended browser to use is IE or Firefox. There are problems when using the
Chrome browser.
The sections below should be followed in the order given to setup the AirLink LS300. Note that any
change that is made usually requires a reboot of the router/modem, which can be done through the
ACEManager. Follow these instructions and reboot at the end.

Default Ethernet Connection

First connect the LS300 directly to your computer and follow the manual's instructions to connect to it.
Default Ethernet settings for access is the following:
Device IP Address: 192.168.13.31
Port: 9191
Username: user
Password: 12345
It should be as simple as changing your computer's LAN settings to DHCP. Then connect to it via a
browser with the URL of http://192.168.13.31:9191.
