Installing and Setting Up

  1. Install the Badge Utilities on the configuration computer. The Badge Utilities let you specify badge properties in a text file, then download the properties to your badges.
  2. Assign a specific IP address (10.0.0.1) and subnet mask (255.0.0.0) to the configuration computer. When you boot a new badge, it looks for a computer with these properties that is running the Badge Configuration Utility.
  3. Cable the configuration computer directly to an access point that is set up without security requirements. Any access point security will prevent unconfigured badges from connecting.
