Linksys WAP11 manual Access Point’s Snmp Configuration Utility, Creating a Temporary IP Address

Instant WirelessTM Series

The Access Point’s SNMP Configuration Utility

The Access Point SNMP Configuration Utility is provided to allow you further customization of the Wireless Network Access Point and your wireless network through your Ethernet or wireless connection. It is strongly recommended that you use your wireless connection to use the SNMP Configuration Utility.

Linux/Unix Users: Though these operating systems are not supported by Linksys, the Wireless Access Point should work in these environments. The WAP11 can be configured under these operating systems using SNMP. A configurable Management Information Base file (MIB) named AT76C510.MIB can be found on the Setup Utility CD. This file is for

Linux/Unix users only, and is not necessary for any Windows installation.

Creating a Temporary IP Address

If you wish to use the SNMP Configuration Utility to configure the Access Point, you must assign a temporary IP address to your computer.

You may need to assign the PC a temporary IP address to gain access to the Access Point.

1.This can be done at Start, Settings, Control Panel, then Network.

2.Click on the network adapter associated with the TCP/IP and click Properties.

3.Note your current settings in order to restore your TCP/IP configuration.

4.Select Specify an IP address and enter the following values: IP - 192.168.1.50, Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0

5.Click OK and click OK again in the Network window.

6.Restart the computer when asked.

Make sure that you enter an IP address for the Access Point in order to access it at a later time. Once you have completed the IP Address Configuration, you can set the PC back to its previous settings. For example, to “Obtain an IP Address automatically.”

To restore your temporary IP address configuration, follow the steps below:

2.Select either Specify an IP address or Obtain IP address automatically and enter in the original values you noted earlier.

3.Click OK and click OK again in the Network window.

4.Restart your computer.
