If the radio is connected to a network with a DHCP server, the radio may already have an IP address assigned to it. If no address appears, double-click the radio listing in the IH Browser or select Assign IP in the AP Operations menu. In the next window, click OK to accept the temporary IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If necessary, a particular IP address can be entered (see Radio Access settings (page 115)). After an IP address is assigned, configuring the radios can be done in the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility "Firmware" is the program that runs in the RadioLinx® 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot that allows it to communicate and exchange data between devices, using the radio as a network connection. Different versions of the firmware communicate with other radios in different ways, and provide different levels of functionality
In order for the RadioLinx Industrial
Hotspot radio to communicate with other RLX2 devices, all radios on the network must use the same firmware version. To change the firmware version of the radio: 1 Start RadioLinx Industrial Hotspot Browser. 2 Open the Operations menu, and then choose Update Firmware. 3 Enter the password for the radio. This is the same password used to log into the radio from the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility (page 66). 4 Click the Browse button to locate the Image File (firmware version) to update. Both versions of firmware are available both on the DVD that came with in the box with the radio, and at our web site at www.prosoft-technology.com 5 Click Update to begin copying the new firmware to the radio. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off power to the radio during this operation.
Ping Device
A Ping Session allows traffic to run over the radio network between any two computers running the IH Browser. With it the user can monitor their network over time.To start the ping session, enable "Show Ping Stations" on the View menu, and then highlight one of the other computers visible in the IH Browser. The session then starts automatically and the Ping Results dialog box opens This dialog box displays statistics on the minimum, maximum and average latency between two points on the network.
