Default Radio Network Configuration
The WIBMesh protocol is an IP based protocol so the radio network will have an IP
address range assigned to it. The Default network base address is 192.168.100.0,
each radio will have a radio IP address assigned to it starting at 192.168.100.1 and
increment as each radio is added to the configuration. Typically this IP address range
does not need to be changed as only WIBMesh Protocol radios can communicate to
each other, that is even though the WIBMesh protocol is based around an IP Standards
based protocol, it is still not an open standard like Wi-Fi which means you cannot
directly connect to the WI-I/O 9-U2 via your PC. Each WI-I/O 9-U2 radio acts like a
router which also means this radio IP address will not conflict with network adapters. If
there is a requirement for the Radio IP address to be changed it can be done by
pressing the Edit button next to the IP address.
