3.5 Network Configuration

After configuring the Quick Start page, you can view or modify Ethernet network param-
eters by selecting the “Network” menu. When prompted for username and password,
enter “user” as the username, and the previously configured password in the password
field.

If IP address or password has been forgotten, the Factory Default switch may be used to
access the existing configuration. Refer to section 3.3 above.

After the addresses are configured, it is important to save the configuration by selecting
“Save and Reboot”.

Bridge Priority

The priority of the RM-80, if configured as a bridge, in the

may clone that MAC address.

ple, Internet access. If there is no Gateway on the LAN,
set to the same address as the Access Point – that is, the
“Ethernet IP Address” below.

should be set to the IP address you require.
