Initial setup using the “Local” port

Plug one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the WAB-1000 (see page 11) and the other end to an Ethernet port on your laptop. This LAN port in the WAB-1000 connects you to the device’s internal DHCP server, which will dynamically assign an IP address to your laptop so you can access the device for reconfiguration. In order to connect properly to the WAB-1000 on the LAN port, the TCP/IP parameters on your laptop must be set to “obtain IP address automatically.” (If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, use the following instructions for determining or changing your TCP/IP settings.)

In Windows 98SE/Me click Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel. Find and double click the Network icon. In the Network window, highlight the TCP/IP protocol for your LAN and click the Properties button. Make sure that the radio button for Obtain an IP address automatically is checked.

In Windows 2000/XP, follow the path Start Æ Settings Æ Network and Dialup

Connections Æ Local Area Connection and select the Properties button. In the Properties window, highlight the TCP/IP protocol and click properties. Make sure that the radio button for Obtain an IP address automatically is checked.

Once the DHCP server has recognized your laptop and has assigned a dynamic IP address, you will need to find that IP address. Again, the procedure is similar for Windows 98SE/Me machines and slightly different for Windows 2000/XP machines.

In Windows 98SE/Me, click Start, then Run and type winipcfg in the run instruction box. Then click OK. You will see the IP address of your laptop in the resulting window, along with the “default gateway” IP address. Verify that the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x

In Windows 2000/XP, click Start, then Run and type cmd in the run instruction box. Then click OK. This will bring up a window. In this window, type ipconfig /all more. This will list information assigned to your laptop, including the IP address assigned. Verify that the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x

On your computer, pull up a browser window and put the default URL for the WAB-1000 Local LAN in the address line. (https://192.168.15.1)

NOTE: be sure that you use the https prefix, not http.
