Setting Up the KWB
The KWB is preset from the factory. It is
recommended that the SSID be changed at setup to
establish a unique identity from other KWBs. No
previously installed KWBs should show up as
KWB_SETUP.
Changing the network channel may be necessary.
For example, if another network in the vicinity uses
channel 11 for transmission, the KWB may interfere
with this network.
If the information downloaded from the KOMTRAX
Plus controller is considered sensitive and private,
then the KWB data should be encrypted.
Once the computer has been setup correctly the
KWB may be setup using a web browser as follows:
1. On the KWB, label locate the IP address.
2. Type the KWB IP address into the address bar
of a web browser (just the numbers and the
periods).
3. When prompted to enter a User Name and
Password, enter "dpac" for both.
4. The initial screen that is displayed will show the
current status of the KWB. Select "Network"
from the top right corner.
5. Change the SSID to any name. (for example,
"KOMTRAX controller"). The SSID is used to
separate networks. If one computer will be used
to download data from excavators, one from
haul trucks, and one from dozers, then the KWB
that will be installed on these machines could
have their SSID set to "KOMTRAX_dig,"
"KOMTRAX_haul,"
respectively. This would make excavators and
haul trucks invisible to the computer setup to
download data from dozers. All KWBs that are
to be in the same network should be set to the
same SSID.
If the default channel (11) is used by another network
in the vicinity, change the channel. It is preferable to
assign channels that are at least three channels
apart.
and
"KOMTRAX_push"
Adding Encryption
It is recommend that encryption be added.
1. On "Wireless Security Mode," select WEP128.
In "WEP key 1", using only numbers and the
letters from "A" to "F," input a 26 character long
passkey,
"0123456789ABCDEF0123456789" (a more
complex combination should be used). All
KWBs that are to be in the same network
should have the same WEP key, SSID, and be
on the same channel.
2. Keep a record of the key.
NOTE: If a more secure encryption method is
desired, consult a network professional to setup WPA
encryption.
3. If the "DHCP Client Name" is blank, input the
KWB IP address in this field before pressing the
"Save" button at the bottom of the page. No
further network settings are required.
4. Once the KWB is reset, all the settings will be
applied. Reset the KWB when prompted or, if
you prefer to review the settings, click on
"Networks" and, when reviewing is complete,
click on "Reset." Both of these options are in the
blue bar under "KWB-1".
Final Computer Settings
Once the KWB SSID is changed, the KWB is no
longer in the KWB_SETUP network. In order to
establish communications with the KWB, the
computer must be setup to have the same settings
as the KWB. Follow steps 1 through 3 beginning in
"Communication Setup", but use the new settings to
create a different network profile. Once all setting are
complete, typing the KWB IP address in the
browser's address bar should open the KWB settings
page. This confirms that the KWB and the computer
are on the same network.
Once the steps described above have been
performed, the computer will have two network
profiles in the program that manages the network
adaptor. The KWB_SETUP profile should remain in
the list in order to setup other KWBs in the future.
The other profile will be the one used to
communicate with the existing KWB. For both
networks, the computer IP address can remain the
same. Therefore, Step 3 as described in "Switching
to the KWB_SETUP Network" is not required. If the
computer is also used to connect to the internet,
select "obtain IP address automatically" when
connecting to the internet.
