EMERGENCY REPAIR CONSOLE

What is Emergency Repair Console?


ERConsole is a special application created to recover and change IP
address on Infinet Wireless units.
It can be also used to reset Infinet Wireless units to factory default
configuration.
Essential Software
Java Runtime Environment should be installed. Please download it if it is
not installed: http://www.java.com/en/download/
Download ERConsole from our ftp site:
ftp://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Utils/EmergenceRepairConsole/ERConsole.zip
Network Requirements

1. Please set static IP address to network interface connected to


Infinet Wireless unit or to switch connected with Infinet Wireless unit (Please don't use Cisco switch
- reasons will be described later). Sample example shown on picture below.

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. Sample example shown 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.
