Network settings for the MSR devices

LAN setting

Set the IP network address and LAN parameters. Enter the Web browser, enter the IP address of the ALL3697 (default: 192.168.0.100). Setting options under "Configuration" > "LAN setting".

The settings must match your existing network, ask your network administrator if necessary!

Hostname

Here you give your MSR DEVICE a name with which it reports to the network. Only the following characters are valid: a-z, A-Z, 1-9 and hyphen (not to be used at the beginning or end). No special characters or spaces may be used. A maximum of 15 characters is possible.

Domain (only for static address assignment)

To integrate the device into a domain, enter the name here.

IP address (only for static address assignment)

IP address of the MSR device in the local network (please ensure that you do not assign an IP address twice - ask your administrator if necessary).

netmask (only for static address assignment)

Default-Einstellung: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway (only for static address assignment)

Enter the default gateway here, usually the IP address of your router.

First DNS (only for static address assignment)

Enter the address of your DNS server here. In home networks, this is usually the IP address of your router.

Second DNS (only for static address assignment)

The default setting is 8.8.8.8. Please only change this if there is a second DNS server in your internal network.

Confirm with "Save entries" after changing parameters. The device restarts automatically. After approx. 90 seconds, the device should be accessible with the new parameters.

IP address setting

If "DHCP" is selected, the device uses an IP setting assigned by the DHCP server. The other points in this chapter are therefore not applicable. If "Static" (default) is selected, you must assign the settings manually. If necessary, contact your network administrator.

WLAN setting

Please note that the MSR end devices only have a physical network connection, i.e. it can be operated either in LAN mode or in WLAN mode. If WLAN client is activated, the patch cable must be disconnected. (network loop)

Select the WLAN operating mode. There are 3 options available:

Switched off: WLAN is deactivated. (Default setting)

Wireless client: The device can be connected to an existing WLAN.

Set the WLAN parameters. Enter the IP address of the device in the web browser. Setting options under "Configuration" > "Network settings" "WLAN Mode " on Wireless Client.

If you use this operating mode in conjunction with a LAN, the device serves as a WLAN access point. This allows other WLAN devices to be connected to your LAN. This operating mode can also be used to control the device on its own without a LAN connection, e.g. from your cell phone via WLAN. It makes sense to activate the DHCP server for this operating mode.

Access point settings

Access point: The device itself works as a WLAN access point. All devices in your LAN network can therefore be reached via WLAN.
Wireless client: The device can be connected to an existing WLAN.

Set the access data for your private wireless network.

- SSID

Give the wireless network your own name, the so-called SSID. The following characters are valid: a-z, A-Z, 1-9, _-@. No spaces may be used. A maximum of 32 characters is possible.

WLAN auth mode

Select an encryption method (OPEN NONE, Shared WEB, WPAPSK-TKIP, WPAPSK-AES, WPA2PSK-TKIP, WPA2PSK-AES). We recommend using WPA2PSK-AES for high security.

- Channel

Select a channel from the drop-down menu. Try to find the largest possible channel distance to external access points with high transmission power (signal % display).

After changing parameters, press "Save entries". The device restarts automatically.

This operating mode can also be used to control the device on its own without a LAN connection. E.g. from your cell phone via WLAN. It makes sense to activate the DHCP server for this operating mode.

The device restarts automatically. This takes approx. 120 seconds.

After changing parameters, confirm with "Save entries". The device restarts automatically. Now disconnect the device from your LAN connection. A simultaneous connection of WLAN and LAN leads to interference in your network. After approx. 90 seconds, the device should be accessible via WLAN with the new parameters.

Set the access data for your private wireless network.

SSID Give the wireless network your own name, the so-called SSID. The following characters are valid: a-z, A-Z, 1-9, _-@. No spaces may be used. A maximum of 32 characters is possible.

Wireless client settings

SSID

Name (SSID) of the desired access point.

WLAN auth mode

Select the encryption method identical to your WLAN (OPEN NONE, Shared WEB, WPAPSK-TKIP, WPAPSK-AES, WPA2PSK-TKIP, WPA2PSK-AES). We recommend using WPA2PSK-AES for high security.

Cipher key

entry must be identical to that of your access point. With "DISPLAY PASSWORD" you can visually check whether a typing error has crept in.

entry must be identical to your WLAN.

WIFI AUTH MODE Select the encryption method identical to your WLAN (OPEN NONE, Shared WEB, WPAPSK-TKIP, WPAPSK-AES, WPA2PSK-TKIP, WPA2PSK-AES). We recommend using WPA2PSK-AES for high security.

- CIPHER KEY

entry must be identical to your WLAN. With "DISPLAY PASSWORD" you can visually check whether a typing error has crept in. After changing parameters, confirm with "Save entries". The MSR device restarts automatically. Now disconnect the device from your LAN connection. A simultaneous connection of WLAN and LAN leads to interference in your network. After approx. 90 seconds, the ALL3697 should be accessible via WLAN with the new parameters.
