14Networks without a DHCP Server
After you determine the AP’s IP address, you can enter that IP address into a web browser on a computer on the same subnet to view the Access Point’s system status or change its configuration.
Networks without a DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Access Point uses a factory assigned IP address (169.254.2.111). You can use that IP address to configure the Access Point, or you can assign a new IP address to the Access Point.
To verify that the Access Point is using the default IP address assigned at the factory:
1Connect a computer directly to the Access Point using the supplied standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
2Enter the Access Point’s default IP address (169.254.2.111) into the computer’s web browser. If the Configuration Management System starts, the Access Point is using the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the Access Point with the following login information:
■
■
Login name: admin
Password: password
If the Configuration Management System does not start, the Access Point is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to discover the Access Point’s IP address.
