415U Condor-long-range wireless I/O and gateway

Network settings

IP Address/Network maske:

Set the IP address of the device. This will normally be an address on the same subnet that is connected to the Ethernet port on your Base station.

N otee:

The 415U devices are configured for Bridged networking, where the radio and Ethernet ports share a common IP address. To operate the 415U devices in a routed network, you need to configure using the device web interface. Refer to section “Configuring devices using the embedded Web

Configuration Utility” for detail.

Use default gatewaye:

Select this if you need to provide a default route out of the local subnet. Once selected, configure the IP address of the gateway device.

Filter settings

Enable easy filtere:

Select this option at the Base to automatically filter traffic that is not destined for devices connected to the radio network. The filter will only allow IP traffic with an address within the specified range.

Communications

Remote accesse:

Check this to enable remote configuration access to the device from the radio or Ethernet ports. If this is not checked, you can only configure the device from the USB port.

Program unite:

Program the device configuration into a module (or save to disk as an XML file for webpage upload to a device).

Load unite:

Load the device configuration froma a module (or load from disk as an XML file previously loaded from device webpage)

Ethernet

— Program the module using the local Ethernet interface displayed in the list. Select IP Address or enter a new address.

USB

—Program the module using a USB interface. You will need to plug in the USB cable and then click Refresh.

Configuration file (XML)

—Program (or load) the module configuration to (or from) an XML file.

User name

—Select the username to access this device. The default configuration for the manager login is “user.”

Password

—Enter the password you configured for this module.

The factory default password is “user.”

Monitor Commse:

Displays a diagnostic tool that allows you to monitor IP traffic received and transmitted by the device’s

Ethernet and Radio ports.

IO Diagnosticse:

Allows you to view the internal registers for the selected module unit

Networking

Click

Networking

in the project tree to configure Ethernet and routing parameters. These parameters are described in detail in this section.

Note

: The default networking mode for the 415U uses bridged networking. This connects the radio and Ethernet ports to the same logical sub-net. The 415U device has a single IP address common to the radio and

Ethernet ports

IP routing

The IP routing rules table determines which IP address an outgoing message will be routed through. When the table contains enabled routing rules, the most explicit and exclusive subnet match is used to determine the route for an outgoing message. If there is no match, the 415U checks for a subnet match against its hard-wired default gateway (configured on the main device configuration page), assuming that the default gateway is configured and accessible. In some cases, such as routed networks with more than two routers, it is not practical to have only one default gateway. If more than one next-hop router is required, the 415U allows for the configuration of up to 100 routing rules. A routing rule specifies a destination network (or host) IP address and the corresponding next-hop router

(gateway) to which messages for the specified destination will be forwarded. The gateway will then deliver the data to the required destination, or forward it on to another router that will.

Note

: IP routing is an advanced user function. If you are not familiar with

IP routing and your network consists of multiple sub-networks connected by routers, request assistance from an IT expert.

To display the IP routing rules table, click

Routing

under

Networking

. After configuring routing rules, click the

Program Unit

button on the module’s Unit Details screen for the changes to take effect.

The example in

Figure 32

shows an IP routing rule that maps

messages to any IP address starting with 10.0.0.0 to the gateway with the IP address 192.168.0.254. If that does not match, it attempts to use the local Ethernet interface.
