M204 v5.7.2 Release Notes (Con’t)
The configuration steps for using the M204 with a WaveLAN network
are:
1 Configure the M204 WaveLAN PCMCIA card with the appropriate
network ID. This must be done using a PC, laptop, or dumb terminal
logged into the M204’s command shell through one of its serial ports.
The default COM1 and COM2 settings on the M204 are 9600 baud,
no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and XON/XOFF flow control. If
using a PC or laptop, a crossed-over 9-pin to 9-pin cable must be
used. With most dumb terminals, a straight through 25-pin to 9-pin
serial cable is used. For further details on serial port login sessions,
please see the technical bulletin, “http://www.microplex.com/
microplex/support/bulletins/CFG-960607-01.html”, at Microplex’s
Web site. Within this document, you will find a section called “Serial
Port Configuration”.
The command once logged in to the M204’s command shell is:
store ifc wvln nwid
networkid
where networkid is the network ID to be assigned to the M204’s
WaveLAN card (in the range of 0100 - FFFF hexadecimal).
2 Once you are sure the WaveLAN card is configured properly, repower
the M204 to ensure it assigns the right network ID to the WaveLAN
card.
At this point, you should be able to recognize the M204 on your wireless
network. Therefore, you can now configure the M204 for whichever net-
work protocol will be used. For example, if you will be using TCP/IP, you
will need to configure an IP address and subnet mask at the minimum on
the M204 so it can be recognized on the network. Then you will need to
configure a host to print to a printer attached to the M204. All of these
steps can be found in the current product manual or look to the
“Microplex Training Guide for All Products” found off the Technical
Support page at Microplex’s Web site - “http://www.microplex.com/
microplex/support”.
When using WaveLAN, these points should be kept in mind:
• The M204 will not communicate over the wireless LAN unless its
WaveLAN PCMCIA card has been configured with a network ID.
• When using a WaveLAN PCMCIA card in one of the M204 slots, the
other slot must remain empty.
• The M204’s WaveLAN support does
not include “roaming”. Therefore,
its WaveLAN card must always be pre-configured with the correct net-
work ID.
• The M204’s WaveLAN support does
not include encryption.
• The M204 will only communicate with WaveLAN nodes using the same
frequency (i.e. 915 MHz or 2.4 GHz).
