Starting the First
Management
Session with a
Direct
Connection
To start the management session with a direct Ethernet connection
between your computer and the LAN1 port on the access point, perform
the following procedure:
If the access point is using PoE, you cannot perform this procedure
because it requires a direct connection between your computer and
the LAN1 port on the access point. If you have the optional power
supply, you can connect it to the unit until after you have completed
the first management session, or you can perform “Starting the First
Management Session without a DHCP Server” on page 21.
1. Connect one end of a network cable to the LAN1 port on the access
point and the other end to the Ethernet network port on your computer.
2. Change the IP address on your computer to 192.168.1.n, where n is a
number from 1 to 254, but not 230. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies your computer for instructions on how to set the IP
address.
3. Set the subnet mask on your computer to 255.255.255.0.
4. Power on the access point.
5. Start the web browser on your computer.
6. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.230 in the URL field of the browser and
press the Enter key.
You should now see the login window, shown in Figure 1 on page 23.
7. Enter “manager” for the user name and “friend” for the password. The
user name and password are case-sensitive.
8. Click the Login button.
Starting the First
Management
Session without a
DHCP Server
This procedure explains how to start the first management session on the
access point when the LAN port is connected to an Ethernet switch on a
network that does not have a DHCP server. To start the management
session, perform the following procedure:
1. To use the PoE feature on the access point, be sure to connect the
LAN1 port to a PoE source device.
2. If your network has VLANs, check to be sure that your computer and
the access point are connected to ports on the Ethernet switch that are
members of the same VLAN. This might require accessing the
management software on the switch and listing the VLANS and their
port assignments. For example, if the access point is connected to a
