3.2 Preconfigured Settings

The GE MDS factory configuration establishes typical settings based on the types of modules ordered.
The intent is to provide as much out-of-box functionality as possible. For example, in WiFi/Cell
configurations, the unit is configured as a WiFi hotspot.

The Orbit MCR is highly configurable to meet field requirements, but comes preconfigured as
follows:
- The COM and USB ports are enabled for local console operation.
- When applicable, interfaces are preconfigured as members of a bridge.

- SSID broadcast enabled
- Security = WPA2-PSK, CCMP with passphrase: GEMDS_ORBIT
