Quick Start Guide
PROGRAMMING:
Step 1. Gather the AvaLAN radios, power supplies, 2x CAT5 cables and a computer with an RJ45
Ethernet interface.
Step 2. Set the 128-256bit encryption key. Use this key for all radios in the group. Refer to pages 1-3
for instructions to complete this step.
Step 3. Connect the radios one at a time directly to the PC via an Ethernet cable. Set your computer
to an IP address of 192.168.17.1 (refer to page 6 for detailed instructions). Enter the radio’s default
IP address* of 192.168.17.17 into a web browser.
Step 4. Enter the password and click login. The default password is “password”.
Step 5. Toggle to select the device type - Access Point or Subscriber Unit. An access point (AP) can
communicate with up to 4 Subscriber Units (SU).
•
For each SU:
•

for 5 seconds on the LCD display during of the boot up of the radio and is also displayed on
the Browser interface in Device Information section.

Set the administrator Password.
•
Set the IP address to a unique value (Ex. 192.168.17.20). This IP address is only used to
manage the radio but all other Ethernet packets will transparently pass through the radios
regardless of their subnet.
•
For the AP:
•
Enter the Radio Address (see prior steps above) of each SU into the matching Subscriber ID
field that was assigned in the prior step.
•
Click the check box of each SU that will be active in the network (this is typically checked
for all SUs but can be unchecked to increase throughput when an SU is known to be inactive.
