how to install Lantronix-radio-modem

Follow these steps to deploy the Lantronix Radio Modem quickly and with minimal disruption:

• Step 1 – Plan placement and power: Choose a location with clear RF propagation and accessible power. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and protect the unit from physical damage. Connect a verified 9–36 VDC power source and confirm voltage within specification.
• Step 2 – Connect data interfaces: Attach sensors or devices to the serial port (RS-232/RS-485) and connect Ethernet to your gateway or network infrastructure. If using RS-485, configure baud rate, parity, and stop bits to match your connected devices.
• Step 3 – Power up and initial configuration: Power on the modem and access the management interface via its default IP address or a pre-configured management network. Complete the setup wizard to assign a device name, set network parameters, and create initial security credentials.
• Step 4 – Configure wireless and networking: Define remote endpoints, enable encryption, and configure VPN or secure tunnels if required. Set up data routing rules, port forwarding, and firewall policies to ensure telemetry reaches your central system securely.
• Step 5 – Test, validate, and document: Run link tests, verify data integrity and latency, and confirm that all connected devices report correctly. Validate alarms and data thresholds, then document the configuration for future scaling or updates.
