ii.
WiFi-1 Configuration – Secondary Radio 
The channel settings for WiFi-1 cannot be the same as WiFi-0. 
However, the mode, power and MAC Filtering can be the same. 
Between two different nodes, it is possible to have one WiFi-0 
configuration match the WiFi-1 of the other node. In essence, 
WiFi-0 of one node can talk to WiFi-1 of another provided the 
mode and channel selection matches. 
 
b. LAN Configuration
 
IP Address: The node can be set to any allowable IP address provided 
it does not conflict with another IP on the network. See gateway and 
advanced routing if connecting to a router for an exterior network. 
The default setting for the Mesh nodes begin at 192.168.1.10 and 
increase by single digits on their 4
th
octet. The nodes are not required
to be configured to any particular arrangement as long as there are 
no duplicated IP addresses on any one network. 
 
Netmask: This is the subnet filter. Default setting is 255.255.255.0 
 
Media/Speed: Default set to auto-negotiate. If connecting to a switch 
or router, the media speed might need to be changed to full or half 
duplex and 10 or 100 Mbps. 
 
A. SYSTEM
The software version, serial BOD, country code, default restore and password 
settings are indicated/configured through the System links. 
 
2. Firmware 
KBC recommends restoring the defaults prior to firmware updates, 
however, the previous settings will remain if not restored.
