Upgrade RDAT-81 with WILI Software
After completing the following simple steps, you will have WILI-S live and running on the dedicated RDAT-81.
1. Download purchased WILI RDAT-81 FW from WILIBOX website, Store area. Registration is required to access your store archive.
2. Connect RDAT-81 device to your laptop or PC with Cat 5 UTP cable.
3. Access RADT-81 HTTP interface. Default settings are:
- IP address: 192.168.1.1
- Password: password
 | Do not forget to adjust your laptop or PC network settings properly to access RDAT-81 device. |
4. Select System Tools -> Firmware Upgrade menu and upload downloaded WILI RDAT-81 FW:
5. After reboot, WILI software is already installed. Access WILI-based device HTTP interface with following settings:
- IP address: 192.168.2.66
- Login: admin
- Password: admin01
6. Upload license key (see the chapter: Licensing Your WILI based Device) using System -> License menu.
 | License key is essential in order to change configuration. |
7. If you want to use only static WAN IP address, disable DHCP service. Go to Configuration menu and change netconf.1.ip to desired IP address, 192.168.2.28 in our example:
## Setup Static WAN on ETH1
netconf.1.ip=192.168.2.28
To disable DHCP client on WAN interface change status to disabled:
## Setup DHCP client on WAN
dhcpc.status=disabled
| | When you deploy the WILI based device, it looks for a network DHCP server and, if it finds one, obtains an IP Address from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the AP will continue to use its default Static IP Address (192.168.2.66) until you re-assign it a new static IP address or until a DHCP server is brought online. |
8. Reboot device to apply license and configuration changes.
Restore Original RDAT-81 Software
After completing the following steps you will have original RDAT-81 software restored to your device.
1. Download RDAT-81 original software from provider’s website. We assume you will use appropriate software for your model.
2. Connect WILI RDAT-81 to your laptop or PC with Cat 5 UTP cable. Connect to RDAT-81 HTTP interface. Go to System -> Maintenance menu and upload original RDAT-81 software:
3. Reboot device and access RDAT-81 HTTP interface. Default settings are:
- IP address: 192.168.1.1
- Password: password
| | Do not forget to adjust your laptop or PC network settings properly to access RDAT-81 device. |
4. Congratulations, you just successfully restored original RDAT-81 software.
Connect WILI based RDAT-81 to Your Network
To prepare your WILI based RDAT-81 for use only a standard connection setup is needed. See the following list to check if you have everything ready for your network:
- WILI based RDAT-81 (see sections above how to prepare your WILI based RADT-81)
- Internet connection
- DHCP server enabled on LAN (optional)
- Administrator computer
- WILI client (e.g. your laptop with wireless connection)
Standard Connection Setup
Connect WILI based RDAT-81 to your network as shown in scheme below. RCMS server is an optional product revealing the full functionality of WILI based device monitoring and management but it is not mandatory.
Follow the instructions to prepare your WILI based device for use:
1. Connect device to the same LAN as Administrator computer. Your local network should have the Internet connection.
2. Make sure the DHCP server is enabled on your network and WILI based RDAT-81 is on the same LAN. WILI based RDAT-81 has DHCP client enabled by default. If there is no DHCP server running on your network, the WILI-S based RDAT-81 will respond to the static IP address 192.168.2.66
3. Prepare WILI client: make sure wireless communication is switched on. Connect to wireless network with SSID: WILI-S.
Your network is ready for WILI-S functionality.
Licensing Your WILI based Device
After having purchased WILI you get a license key. This key need to be uploaded on WILI based device at once. Once you have licensed WILI it unlocks all functionality and can be used for unlimited period of time. After licensing the device it will be set to a valid licensing status and you will get the full scope of benefits:
- Full functionality of the purchased WILI firmware release
- 1-year free service release updates according to the purchased WILI firmware revision. During this year any of service release firmware revisions can be used for the unlimited period of time.
- 2-weeks support assistance: 10 business days, up to 5 hours, e-mail communication and answer provided within 2 business days.
WILI firmware you have purchased comes with no license included (not valid status). This status provides only a very limited functionality:
- It runs only with a default configuration. Only a single BSSID is allowed; DHCP client runs on WAN interface, DHCP servers run on LAN and Wireless interfaces.
- It is impossible to change the configuration. All features are locked down until a valid license is presented. Any changes made in configuration will be stored in the flash memory of the device. Thus only a default setting will be used after the reboot.
Follow the simple diagram on how to license your WILI device:
