4.3.3 Project Screen
When a configuration project is opened
or created the Project Tree will display
the name of the project. Selecting the
project name will display the following.
Project Information
This details the project name and the
directory location of the project. The
Project name can be changed if need
be from this area.
Password Protection
Password protection is used to provide a security option to the project itself. When
enabled a password is used to allow access to the configuration file. Password must be
a minimum of 6 characters in length. The password protection does not provide any
security for the radio link. This is handled under Radio Communication Security.
System Configuration
System Address is the main network address that all radios will use. Each radio in a
project will have unique address, however all radios in the one project must share the
same system address. This allows the users to have multiple individual systems
operating within the same radio range as other WIBMesh radios. The range of System
Address is 0-65535
Radio Communication Security
By enabling the Radio Communication Security checkbox the software will create an
encryption key for the radio network. To manually edit the encryption key and enter in a
user generated one, select
‘Edit Security Key’, enter in a string of characters for the key.
Up to 32 characters can be used and the key will also need to be confirmed before
applying this encryption key. All radios will then need to be re-configured for
successful communications to occur.
4.3.4 Adding Units
Create Units
By selecting Units from the project tree it will
allow you to Add a New Unit to the project and
each unit will be added into the project tree or,
Load a New Unit, which will import an existing
WI-I/O 9-U2 configuration into the project. The
import of configuration can be by directly
connecting to a WI-I/O 9-U2 over Ethernet,
USB or by selecting a pre-saved configuration file from a WI-I/O 9-U2.
