CONFIGURING THE WAP USING THE

ADVANCED WEB-BASED USER INTERFACE

Using your Internet browser, you can access the WAP’s web-based advanced user interface. In your browser, type “192.168.2.254” (do not type in anything else such as “http://” or “www”). Then press the “Enter” key.

Logging into the WAP

You will see the WAP’s home page in your browser window. The home page is visible to any user who wants to see it. To make any changes to the WAP’s settings, you have to log in. Clicking the “Login” button or clicking on any one of the links on the home page will take you to the login screen. The WAP ships with no password entered. In the login screen, leave the password blank and click the “Submit” button to log in.

Logging out of the WAP

One computer at a time can log in to the WAP for the purposes of making changes to the settings of the WAP. Once a user has logged in to make changes, there are two ways that the computer can be logged out. Clicking the “Logout” button will log the computer out. The second method is automatic. The login will time out after a specified period of time. The default login time out is 10 minutes. This can be changed from one to 99 minutes. For more information, see the section in this manual titled “Changing System Settings”.
