4 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The EAP8518 offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for
the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the
unit can access the management interface using a web browser, such as
Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above) or Firefox (version 2.0 or above).
CONNECTING TO THE LOGIN PAGE
It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a
PC directly to the EAP8518’s LAN port. The EAP8518 has a default IP
address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set
your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the EAP8518 (that is, the
PC and EAP8518 addresses must both start 192.168.1.x).
To access the access point management interface, follow these steps:
1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using
the default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
2. Log into the interface by entering the default username “admin” and
password also “admin,” then click Login.
