Requirements
The following requirements must be fulfilled to configure the DeviceMaster AIR.
•
You must use a Java Script-enabled web-browser such as Internet Explorer
6.0 or later, Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, Mozilla FireFox 8 or later, and
Konqueror 3.2 or later.
•
The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP
address within the same subnet as the WLAN IP address of the DeviceMaster
AIR. The DeviceMaster AIR has a default WLAN IP address of 192.168.0.30
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
•
If you are setting up Ad Hoc mode, other wireless devices must be configured
for Ad Hoc mode using the same channel.
•
If you are setting up Infrastructure mode, a wireless access point or wireless
router is required.
You will need to assign a static IP address to the computer that you are using to
configure the DeviceMaster AIR, within the IP address range of the default
DeviceMaster AIR IP address. For example, you can assign a static IP address of
192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If you need assistance
configuring your PC within the same range, see
