RFR "Identity" Tab

This displays the current full version number of software loaded in the gateway for reference only.

The name of the device can be changed here. By default, the name may be blank or the default generated name (for example ETCRFRbase 14:5A:62).

IP addresses are not editable, and display with a gray background, unless you have enabled IP editing by entering the password and the IP mode is set to "Static".

Enable IP editing by clicking on the button with the padlock icon . An "Enable Network Address Editing" dialog displays. Enter the password and click [OK] or change the password from this dialog.

When network address editing has been enabled, you can change the settings for Static IP address and Dynamic IP address.

• If you choose to edit the Static IP Address, you can edit the network address fields of IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway IP address.

Update Server Network Address

The "Update Server Network Address" section of the "Identify" tab is the network address used by the Net3 RFR Base Station (if chosen in the update software dialog) to request software from a TFTP server (update service) that is expected to be running at that IP address.

Note: When editing an "Online Devices" table row, the [Update Software], [Reboot Device], [Restore Defaults] and [Reset Dynamic IP] buttons all act immediately on the selected gateway.

Use this feature to easily locate a specific RFR base where you can see the LED on the base station. Specify the amount of time (in seconds) that you want the LED to flash, and click the [Flash Beacon] button. The LED of the RFR base station you are connected to will flash on and off for the specified amount of time.

Note: This button is only active for the RFR base station selected from the "Online Devices" table.

Clicking the [Update Software] button tells the selected devices to get new software from the IP address specified in the Update Server Network Address field. When the software is finished loading, the RFR base station will reboot into the new software environment.

Note: This button is only active for the RFR base station selected from the "Online Devices" table.

Clicking the [Reboot Device] button sends a message to the selected RFR base station telling it to reboot. This is a soft-reboot only and will cause the dialog to immediately close.

Note: This button is only active for the RFR base station selected from the "Online Devices" table.

Clicking the [Restore Defaults] button displays a "Warning: Property Reset" dialog.

Click [Yes] to reset the device properties to the factory defaults and reboot. Click [No] to cancel.

Note: This button is only active for the RFR base station selected from the "Online Devices" table.

Clicking the [Reset Dynamic IP] button deletes the current Dynamic IP address information and reboots the selected RFR base station. When the RFR base station reboots, a request is sent to the DHCP server for a new dynamic IP address (renewing the DHCP Lease). This will cause the dialog to immediately close.
