Using Discovery Server
You can also determine and a set the IP address of a Plus-style transceiver with a firmware version of 2.8 or
higher using the FreeWave Discovery Server, a free utility available from FreeWave. Discovery Server is
available on the User Manual and System Tools CD and is also available for download from
www.freewave.com.
Note: Firewall software, such as Windows Firewall and McAfee Personal Firewall can
prevent the Discovery Server from operating properly. FreeWave recommends
disabling any Firewall software prior to running the Discovery Server.
This section provides instructions to determine and set the radio's IP address using Discovery Server. For
more information about the additional functionality available in the utility, see See "Using the Discovery
Server" on page 115
To determine a transceiver's IP address using Discovery Server:
1. Open Discovery Server.
When you open the Discovery Server application, it automatically attempts to discover any Plus-
style transceivers connected via Ethernet. The transceivers broadcast this information, so they
should be successfully discovered if they have a physical Ethernet connection to the network or
are able to communicate back through their Gateway.
Note: In firmware versions 2.13 and higher, Endpoints and Multipoint Repeaters can
only be discovered if the computer running Discovery Server is connected on
the Gateway side of the radio network. If connected to an Endpoint or MultiPoint
Repeater in this situation, only that radio and the Gateway are reported.
To set the transceiver's IP address using Discovery Server:
1. Open the Discovery Server application.
2. Right-click the discovered transceiver in the list that you want to change and select Change
Basic Settings.
