Genus WiFi Configuration/Setup
WiFi Module
The WiFi Modules are shipped with DHCP disabled, and all security modes turned off.
If the Module successfully associates with an access point, the Link and Power LEDs
will be green. If the Module is unable to associate with an access point, the Link LED
will blink red and the Power LED will be green in color.
IP Addresses
There are two IP Addresses involved in the WiFi configuration. The WiFi Module and the
Terminal each have a unique IP.
WiFi Module - Fallback
If DHCP is enabled and the WiFi Module has been powered up for 60 seconds without
being able to associate with an access point, the Module will fallback to the following
settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.68
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP: 0.0.0.0
When the Module reaches the 60 second timeout, it will revert back to the fallback
settings. The Power LED will change from amber to green and the Link LED will
continue to blink red.
Genus Terminal
The Genus terminal must also have a valid IP address (Terminal DHCP turned off) in
which the first three octets are 192.168.0.XXX, otherwise the Terminal will not be able
to communicate with the WiFi Module installed. Change the IP address on the WiFi
Module first. Note that the terminal will “hang” if on a different sub-net.
DHCP and WiFi Module setup
Upon entering setup mode the user is given the option to enable (Yes) or disable (No)
DHCP for the WiFi Module. If DHCP is disabled, the Terminal will prompt the user to
enter network settings for the Module. These settings are stored by the Terminal
allowing it to be able to go back into setup again as needed. If DHCP is enabled, and
the Module is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the Terminal will not know
the Module’s IP setting and will not be able to go into setup.
