SeaI/O Manual 55
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.

Channel [Varies] *
* 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.
