SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The SMC2870W is a Plug-and-Play device. This means that, in most cases, you will not need to configure it.

The SMC2870W Wireless Ethernet Bridge includes an SNMP agent that is accessible through an SNMP manager application (Refer to “Using the Configuration Utility” on page 11.) The latest version may be downloaded from the SMC web site specified on the back cover of this manual.

The SMC2870W can be configured by a web browser, specifically Internet Explorer 5.5 or above. Using the web management interface, you can configure the Wireless Ethernet Bridge and view statistics to monitor network activity.

Before you attempt to log into the SMC2870W’s web-based administration, please verify the following.

1.Your browser is configured properly (see below).

2.Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.

3.Confirm that you have a good link LED where your computer is plugged into the Wireless Ethernet Bridge. If you don’t have a link light – then try another cable to get a good link.

4.To access the Internet through the Wireless Ethernet Bridge, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The default network settings for the Wireless Ethernet Bridge are:
