Page 9: Installation And Operation
CrashLink2 WLAN converter KiWLAN Type K3877 2. Installation and operation 2.1 System overview The KiWLAN Type K3877 module enables wireless com- munication access to the CrashLink2 bus. Working as an Ethernet to WLAN bridge, it transmits data to and from all devices connected to the CrashLink2 bus to a wireless network provided by an access point. - Page 10 WLAN module has the IP 172.22.87.1. The internal electronics has an individual IP address at time of ship- ment, if no customer specification is provided to Kistler. For discovering the IP address of the internal electronics, the Kistler software DeviceMaintenanceTool can be used.

Page 15: How To Use The Reset Button
ƒ IP address set to 192.168.1.253 ƒ WLAN module is configured as access point ƒ IEEE 802.11n (5 GHz, channel bandwidth 20 MHz, channel 36) ƒ WLAN disabled Avoid restoring the factory settings. Otherwise, the WLAN module has to be reconfigured via its web server using the KISTLER configuration file. >2 Set the WLAN module into an "Emergency upgrade" mode. This (during startup) mode allows reloading the firmware from a software tool of the 3 party supplier. An additional short push on the RESET button resto- res the factory settings. -
Page 16: Init State
Functional description 3.3.1 INIT state After power up, the KiWLAN enters the INIT state. Its internal sensors are initialized, an internal self-test is performed and a firmware update is done if available. Afterwards, an initial self-test is performed including a load test of the battery. -
Page 17: Armed State
As mentioned in chapter 2.1, the KiWLAN use a 3 par- ty module for the WLAN communication. At time of ship- ment, the module is preconfigured with either a fixed IP address defined by Kistler (172.22.87.1) or by customer specification. Furthermore the desired operating frequen- cy 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is set and the module is configured to operate as Ethernet-WLAN bridge. The following sub- sections briefly describe how to change these basic set- tings. -
Page 18: Getting Access
Functional description 3.4.1 Getting access To get access to the web interface, open an internet browser and type the IP address of the WLAN module (172.22.87.1 or customer dependent) into the address bar. You will be directed to the starting window of the web interface that shows the current status information as de- picted in Fig. - Page 19 CrashLink2 WLAN converter KiWLAN Type K3877 Fig. 6: WLAN module configuration – registration mask 2.
