Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide

This Chapter will guide you to configure the AP to function in your network and gain access to the internet through your ISP immediately after successful configuration. More detailed description of the AP’s web-based utility and functions can be found in “Chapter 4 Configuring the AP”

3.1. Configure the Device

The instructions in this section will help you configure each of your PCs to be able to communicate with the AP.

The default IP address of the TL-WA5110G 54M High Power Wireless Access Point is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN. They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for description in this guide.

Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the AP. There are then two ways to configure the IP address for your PC.

¾Configure the IP address manually

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,

please refer to Appendix2B: Configuring the PC

2)Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The AP's default IP address)

¾Obtain an IP address automatically

This method can be available only when DHCP in section 4.7.1 is enabled.

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.

If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix2B: Configuring the PC.

2)Power off the AP and PC. Then turn on the AP and restart the PC. The built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

)Note:

For Windows 98 OS or earlier, the PC and AP may need to be restarted.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC and the AP. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in Figure 3-1,the connection between your PC and the AP has been established.
