Chapter 7: Using the Wireless-G Game Adapter Web Configuration Utility

Overview

This chapter will describe each web page of the Utility and each page’s key functions. You can use the Utility to change the Game Adapter’s settings. You can also restore the Game Adapter to its factory default settings, change the password used to access its Utility, and upgrade its firmware.

Accessing the Web Configuration Utility

To access the Game Adapter’s Utility, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and enter the Game

Adapter’s default IP address, 192.168.1.250, in the Address field. Press the Enter key.

NOTE: If your network router automatically assigns IP addresses, then the Game Adapter’s IP address may have changed. Refer to your router’s documentation for instructions on how to find the Game Adapter’s current IP address (you may need to view the router’s DHCP client table).

A screen will appear asking you for your User Name and Password. Leave the User Name field blank, and enter admin in the Password field. Then click the OK button.

Make the necessary changes through the Utility. When you have finished making changes to a screen, click the Apply button to save the changes, or click the Cancel button to undo your changes. For help information on a tab, click Help.
