Configuring a Wireless (W-Series) Module
NOTE: This section applies only to Wireless (W-series) SeaI/O modules.
For all other SeaI/O modules, refer to the Configuring a “Base”
SeaI/O Module and Configuring Expansion Modules sections on
the previous pages.
Start by connecting power to the wireless SeaI/O module. The LEDs will blink to
confirm that the unit is powered up and is ready to be configured to work with your
wireless network.
The first time you power up the wireless SeaI/O module (and every time it is reset), it
will take 20 seconds to “boot up” before it appears on the wireless network.
The wireless SeaI/O module ships in Ad Hoc mode by default and should be
immediately visible with SSID of “SL_Recovery” to any computer equipped with a
wireless adapter.
Most wireless adapters include a utility that allows you to see the wireless devices on
your network. Please refer to the instructions included with your wireless adapter for
details on how to locate wireless devices on your network. If the wireless SeaI/O
module is not visible, you may need to adjust your security settings until you have
successfully configured the wireless SeaI/O module.
Once you have confirmed that the wireless SeaI/O module is visible to your network,
you can proceed with configuring the module. Instructions for configuring a SeaI/O
module using Windows XP are detailed on the following pages.
SeaI/O Wireless Default Configuration
SSID: SL_Recovery
Topology: Ad
Hoc
Security: No Encryption
Channel: [Varies] *
NOTE: * The channel number will increment each time a reset occurs. If
you reset the module and can’t see it on your wireless network, reset
it again to increment the channel number up by one.
To reset the unit to factory defaults and increment the channel, locate the Reset
button on the front of the module just above the antenna. Using a small rigid wire
(e.g., paperclip), depress and hold the reset button. Power cycle the module by
removing the barrel connector or terminal block supplying power to the unit, and
then reconnecting the barrel connector or terminal block. Release the reset button
and the SeaI/O module will be reset to the factory defaults and the channel number
will increment up by one. The LEDs will blink to confirm that the SeaI/O module
has been reset and is ready to be configured.
