Chapter 3 Initial Setup

The WAP-6100 allows configuration either via the configuration utility, known as Locator, or Web Browser through network. For the initial installation, we suggest using the PLANET WAP-6100 Locator. Before using Locator, please make sure the personal firewall installed in your PC is disabled.

It is strongly recommended to configure and manage WAP-6100 using a wired LAN computer.

B.Enter “E:\UTILITY\Locator.exe” in the appeared box, where “E” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.

C.Click on “OK” button.

3.To change the IP address, select the target WAP-6100 if there are multiple devices, and click on the “IP Setting” button. A login dialog box will pop up. Please input your user name and password into the fields. Default user name and password are as below:
