First Time Setup
To set up the WI-Client it has to be connected with a patch cable to the ethernet interface of a computer.
Because of the auto MDI/MDIX capability, you can use a straight or crossover patch cable.
After applying power, the green “Link LED“ on the RJ45 connector shines when a link is detected. The yellow
“100 MBit LED“ indicates whether the connection is capable of 100 MBit.
The “LAN” LED on the front panel shines green when a connection has been established over the ethernet.
The “WLAN” LED on the front panel will be blinking red because usually no suitable WLAN is recognized.
The ComPoint Manager
To do the „first time setup“ the WI-Client has to be connected via the LAN-Interface to the computer (PC) that
runs the ComPoint Manager Program.
Illustration 3 arrangement to configure the WI-Client
You have to observe:
- The connected PC should have an fixed IP address. (no DHCP)
- The LAN-Interface at the PC must be detected as connected. Check the parameter of the LAN-
Interface with the „ipconfig“-command.
- If the LAN-Interface of the PC is correctly recognized then press the „refesh“-button of the WI-Client-
config-program.
- An active firewall could prevent the communication the WI-Client.
For detection of the WI-Client and managing of the IP address the CD Rom contain a small tool, this tool is
called ComPoint Manager.
After the start the ComPoint Manager ascertained all network interfaces that are active at the PC. After that
the ComPoint Manager sends broadcast UDP requests to all these Interfaces. The registered answers of the
WI-Client devices are shown in a list.
