The pages of the quick setup wizard have six buttons to control your progress through the wizard: "Next", "Quit", "Previous", "Apply", "Cancel", and "Done". Once all five pages are configured, the "Save Config" and the "Reset Unit" buttons are used to make parameter settings permanent. If a change is made to any parameter marked with an exclamation mark, you will need to do a "Save Config" and a "Reset Unit" in order for the change to take place. The setup wizard must be completed on a new unit (the "Done" button must be clicked) before the Viper will transmit.
Select "Setup Wizard" on the top-level menu list. Click the "Next" button. On page one of the Setup Wizard, read the on-screen instructions. Enter a unique Station name. Select IP Forwarding mode. Select if the unit is to be used as a Relay point or an Access point. Click "Apply" to temporarily save your changes. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop (right side of the Status bar). Click on "Next" to proceed to next step. If no change is made to the Operating mode, click on "Next".
On page two, read the on-screen instructions. Enter the IP Address, Network Mask and Default Gateway, click "Apply" to temporarily save your changes. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop (right side of the Status bar). Click on "Next". If no changes are made, click on "Next". Note: In Bridge mode, all Vipers' IP addresses must be on the same subnet. In Router mode, each Viper's IP address must be on a unique subnet.
On page three, read the on-screen instructions. Enter the Channel ID, Channel Type, Receiver frequency, Transmit frequency and the Transmitter Power. Set Active Channel = Yes. Click "Apply" to temporarily save your changes. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop (right side of the Status bar). Click on "Next".
On page four, read the on-screen instructions. Enable Encryption and then enter the encryption phrase. Make sure the phrase is recorded in a logbook for future reference. Click "Apply" to temporarily save your changes. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop (right side of the Status bar). Click on "Next".
On page five, read the on-screen instructions. Click on the "Done" button to complete the setup wizard and enable the transmitter. The Welcome page will pop up next. Click "Save Config" button to permanently save your configuration. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop (right side of the Status bar). When the status reports: "Success", click on "Reset Unit" button. Wait for the Progress bar activity to stop. A "Station Reset" 20-second timer counts down while the status reports: "Working..." When the unit has rebooted, the status reports: "Ready", and the Viper is ready to use.
