Configuring your Network Settings

In order to connect to the Internet, your AP needs an IP address. Typically these are provided to the AP by a DHCP server.

The AP is set to obtain an IP address from the Ethernet via DHCP. However, it is possible for you to pre-configure a fixed IP address into the AP. This can be done via the web manager using the Bluetooth interface (refer to the user manual for more information).

Software Installation

Requirements:

•Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP

•Computer must be connected to the same Local Area Network as the AP

•Computer must have the appropriate printer driver installed
