Below you find a detailed description how to access and configure the 802.11b/g parameters of
the Discovery/WLAN in case you do not use U-Start on MS-Windows. The semantics may vary
slightly per Operating system.
MAKING CONNECTION, WHEN THE IP-ADDRESS OF THE DISCOVERY IS UNKNOWN
The MAC address of the Discovery should temporarily be coupled to an IP address, before any
connection can be made. The utility ARP can be used to do this.
Open a terminal screen and input the following steps:
7.1
a
arp -s 192.137.81.210 00-20-4A-82-43-CB
a
This command links the IP-Address 192.137.81.210 to the MAC address
00-20-4A- 82-43- CB, just on this system.
7.2 Check this with ARP -a: arp -a
a
the response must be (something like):
Interface: 192.137.81.105 on Interface 0x2000003
Internet Address
Physical Address
Type
192.137.81.210
00-20-4A-82-43-CB static
7.3 Start a TELNET connection to configure the unit: telnet 192.137.81.210 1
a
This connection (on port 1) will fail in first instance (after 3 seconds, abort link),
but the WLAN module inside the SG-20 will now temporarily take the above IP-
Address to communicate on.
This means, that the configuration menu (which can be reached on port 9999) can
now be accessed.
7.4 Continue with: telnet 192.137.81.210
9999
a
The response must be (something
like):
7.5 Hit
a
a
and you’ll get in the Configuration Menu:
(if you wait too long, the connection will fail and you have to disconnect and re-
connect) Proceed at Point 3.1 above on page 8.
