Networks without a
DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Access Point uses
a factory assigned IP address (169.254.2.2). You can use that IP
address to configure the Access Point, or you can assign a new IP
address to the Access Point.
To verify that the Access Point is using the default IP address
assigned at the factory:
1 Connect a computer directly to the Access Point using the supplied
standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
2 Enter the Access Point’s default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the
computer’s web browser. If the Configuration Management
System starts, the Access Point is using the factory assigned IP
address. You can configure the Access Point with the following
login information:
Login name: admin
Password: password
If the Configuration Management System does not start, the
Access Point is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and
start the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to discover
the Access Point’s IP address.
