2. Please set default gateway address to the same network interface configuration connected to Infinet
Wireless unit or to switch connected with Infinet Wireless unit. Example is on picture below.

3. Disable any anti-virus, firewall software running on your computer

We recommend to use simple unmanaged switch as intermediary unit between your PC

and Infinet unit. It is essential to reboot Infinet unit each time to activate Emergency
Repair Protocol on Infinet unit, therefore the switch would prevent your PC Ethernet
interface from flapping Down/Up. Using Cisco Catalyst switches for unit recovery is
not recommended due to a known issue port mode negotiation delay.

Step-by-step instruction to obtain IP address via ERConsole operation
1. Connect network Ethernet cables between Infinet Wireless unit and your computer

2. Extract zip archive, run the ERConsole.jar (in Linux you have to set executable bit)
The ERConsole window should be seen now, like on right
picture

3. Power of Infinet unit and power up it again in few

seconds.
ERConsole and Infinet units exchanges information
ONLY during bootup process, therefore each time you
need to read units IP address or change it, or reset units
configuration to factory default - the Infinet units should
be rebooted.

4. Wait about 30 second and ERConsole screen should

receive updates from the unit.
Serial number, ip address and network mask should appear in ERConsole screen. Like on the upper
picture.
Step-by-step instruction to add additional IP address via ERConsole operation

In order to assign additional IP address to the unit please obtain units IP address and serial
number first (it was described in preceding
instruction)
5. In the ERConsole window click to the selected units
serial number

6. Click to + at the bottom of the list. Please see picture

of Infinet Emergency Repair Console to the right

7. New window would open - Please set additional ip

address with netmask. Please see New task picture

8. Don't forget to click OK after you've set additional IP

address and password

9. Power of Infinet unit and power up it again in few seconds

ERConsole and Infinet units exchanges information ONLY during bootup
process, therefore each time you need to read units IP address or change it, or
reset units configuration to factory default - the Infinet units should be
rebooted

10. Wait about 30 second and additional IP address will be assigned to eth0
physical port

11. Please add IP address from the same network subnet to your PC and access the unit. ERC would not
show newly assigned IP address. Only IP address saved to configuration for eth0 can be obtained via
ERC.
12. Log into unit using additional IP address assigned to the unit. Dont reboot the unit now, cause
additional IP address is temporal until units restart or until new configuration save.
