Note
If you already run a DHCP server on your LAN, it is recommended that you configure
the device on a separate PC that is not connected to your LAN.
The following settings are transferred to a non-configured PC:
• a suitable IP address for configuration of the device (IP address in the range
192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.49 are assigned)
• the corresponding netmask (255.255.255.0)
• the IP address of the device as standard gateway and standard DNS server.
2.1.2 Software update
Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production.
More recent versions may have since been released. You can easily perform an update
with the GUI using the Maintenance->Software &Configuration menu.
For a description of the update procedure, see Software Update on page 33.
2.2 System requirements
For configuration of the device, your PC must meet the following system requirements:
• Suitable operating system (Windows, Linux, MAC OS)
• A web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) in the current version
• Installed network card (Ethernet)
• Installed TCP/IP protocol
• High colour display (more than 256 colours) for correct representation of the graphics.
2.3 Preparation
To prepare for configuration, you need to...
• have the data for the basic configuration and the Internet connection to hand and also
gather the data needed for connecting the required WLAN clients.
• Check whether the PC from which you want to perform the configuration meets the ne-
cessary requirements.
