Lantronix Wi-Fi Module Configuration Guide for Baseline Irrigation Controllers
Step 2 – Configure the Wi-Fi Module
IMPORTANT! The computer used to configure the Wi-Fi module must have the Windows 7 (or
earlier) operating system. Windows 8 does not support the ad hoc network connection that is used
during configuration.
1. On a desktop or laptop computer that has wireless network connectivity, download and
install the LANTRONIX DeviceInstaller from the following URL:
http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.html
2. Make sure that the Baseline controller is powered up in order to supply power to the Wi-Fi
module.
3. Using the same computer where
you installed the LANTRONIX
DeviceInstaller, click the wireless
network connection icon in the
taskbar, and then connect to the
wireless network named
LTRX_IBSS.
4. Start the LANTRONIX
DeviceInstaller application. Cancel
out of any update prompts.
5. Click the Tools menu, and then click
Options. In the Options window,
make sure that the Wireless
Network connection is checked,
and then click OK.
6. Click the Search button. It should find one device. If there are multiple devices, or unexpected
devices listed, make sure you selected the correct Network Connection in the Options
window.
7. New items display in the device tree in the left pane. In the pane on the right, you should see
an entry called WiBox b/g. Confirm that the Hardware Address listed for this entry matches
the MAC Address on the Wi-Fi module sticker. If it does not, confirm that no other new Wi-Fi
modules are powered and that you are connected to the correct wireless network.
