4.8 - Remote Configuration
Because a module configuration is viewed and changed in a web format (which uses TCP/IP protocol), you can view or
change the configuration of a remote module via the wireless link, provided the remote module already have a wireless
link established to the local WI-MOD-945-E.
To perform remote configuration, connect a PC to the local module, run Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the
remote unit (or device name if using DNS) - the configuration page of the remote module will be shown and changes can
be made.
Care must be taken if modifying the configuration of a module remotely. If the Radio Configuration is changed,
some changes made may cause loss of the radio link, and therefore the network connection.
It is advisable to determine the path of the links to the modules you wish to modify, and draw a tree diagram if necessary.
Modify the modules at the “leaves” of your tree diagram. These will be the furthest away from your connection point in
terms of the number of radio or Ethernet links.
In a simple system, this usually means modifying the Client modules first and the Access Point last.
