Record Settings from Your Access Point's Configuration Program
On the LAN host, use your Web browser to log into your Access Point's online configuration program at the
appropriate IP address (for example: http://192.168.0.1). Your Access Point documentation provides this
procedure. Go to the appropriate screen in that program and perform these steps:
A. If your Access Point's configuration program lets you select between Ad-Hoc and infrastructure
modes, select infrastructure mode.
B. Go to the Wireless Settings or equivalent screen in your Access Point's configuration program
where the Access Point's SSID is shown. Record the SSID below (Note: this data is case-
sensitive).
C. Go to the Wireless Settings, Security, Encryption, or equivalent screen in your Access Point's
configuration program where WEP settings are shown. If WEP is enabled, disable it (this may be
done by setting the encryption strength to Disable). You can enable WEP after the Wireless Device
Server has been configured.
Access Point SSID: ___________________________________________________________
D. Go to the Attached Devices or equivalent screen in your Access Point's configuration program
where the IP and MAC addresses of devices attached to the Access Point are shown. Find the
entry for the device named Airbornexxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last 6 digits of the unit's MAC
address, and then do the following:
Wireless Device Server's IP Address: ____________________________________________
E. If the IP address is not provided by the Access Point, you can run the AEU.exe.
Note: If you do not see the Wireless Device Server as an attached device, refresh the screen (some
Access Point configuration programs have a Refresh button for this purpose). If the Wireless Device
Server still does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in the AirborneDirect™ Wireless
Device Server User's Guide (on the CD) and in your AP documentation.

Configuring the Airborne Direct for Ad-Hoc without an Access Point
You will need a serial null-modem cable to connect the ABSE-100D to your PC's serial port.
AirborneDirect portion
Open HyperTerminal and issue the escape sequence ÿ~ABD then you will want to use the below
instructions to configure the ABSE for Ad Hoc operation.
1) Log into the module – auth dpac dpac
2) Set static IP address for module – wl-ip <n1.n2.n3.n4>
3) Disable DHCP for module – wl-dhcp 0
4) Set Ad-Hoc Channel number – wl-chan <n>
Verify that the MAC address shown for the Wireless Device Server (for example:
00:90:c9:00:52:f8) matches the address on the label on the back of the Wireless
Device Server (for example: 0090C90052F8).
Find the Wireless Device Server's IP address and record it below (e.g., 192.168.0.2).
