The Wireless client bridge supports access to the configuration system through the use of an HTTP Interface.

„Web Configuration

Before configuring Wireless client bridge, user needs to know the IP Address assigned to the unit. When shipped from the factory, the IP Address 192.168.5.99 was assigned to the Wireless client bridge by default. To start a web connection, use http://192.168.2.1

However, user may change the IP Address later and cannot connect the unit by using the default IP Address. In this case, it is a must to identify the Wireless client bridge current IP Address before configuring.
