10. If you will be using a reserved IP address for this device, use the show network command to
display the MAC address of the wireless port (on the line starting with “wln0” as shown below),
give that information to the IT administrator, then ensure that the DHCP server has been updated
with the device’s reserved IP address and wireless MAC address before continuing with step 11.

Network interfaces (values are those active in the network stack):
Name MAC Address IP Address Submask Gateway
----- ----------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
eth0 00:40:9D:43:7F:E4 192.168.10.75 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1
wln0 00:40:9D:43:6F:8D 192.168.20.108 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.1
11. Enter the set commands described in the Wireless LAN Configuration Commands section.
(Specify the deployment IP address, not the temporary static IP address.) Use the show
commands to verify that the settings were made correctly. If any are incorrect, re-enter the
appropriate set command(s), then re-verify.
12. Type quit then press the Enter key to exit the Telnet program.
13. Disconnect the power supply from the Digi device, then disconnect the CAT5 cable from the Digi
device.
14. Attach the antenna to the Digi device. Turn the antenna so it points up.
15. Connect the power supply to the Digi device, then wait until the WiFi LINK LED (on the top of the
device) is on solid, indicating it is associated with an access point. If the LED is blinking, it means
that the device hasn’t yet established a wireless connection.
Note: If the device is unable to establish a wireless connection:
a) Wait for a few minutes to see if it is able to connect.
b) Disconnect and reconnect the power supply, then wait for the WiFi connection.
c) Repeat steps 1 through 15, then wait for it to connect.
d) Reset the device to factory defaults, repeat steps 1 through 15, then wait for it to
connect. To reset the device to factory defaults:
• Disconnect the power supply from the device.
• Locate the “RESET” label on the top of the device, then locate the hole for the reset
button on the side of the device below the label.
• Press the reset button gently with a non-conductive tool such as a toothpick or
plastic stylus.
• Reconnect the power supply to the device while still pressing the reset button.
• Wait until you see a 1-1-1 pattern blink on the STATUS LED (on the top of the
device).
• Wait until you see a 1-5-1 pattern blink on the STATUS LED, then release the reset
button.
16. Insert the Veriteq vNet and Digi Device Drivers CD into the viewLinc server. If the Software
Installation menu does not display automatically, start the setup.exe program in the root folder of
the CD.
17. Follow the instructions in steps 4 through 14 in the Installing Drivers Using RealPort Setup
section in the vNet PoE Device User Guide (Software Installation menu | Documentation Index |
vNet PoE Device User Guide) to install the RealPort driver for this device on the viewLinc
server.
18. In the Veriteq Quick Start Guide for viewLinc with vNet or Digi Devices document, start with step
3, “vLog or Spectrum Software” and continue from there with product installation.
