2.3.1 Connecting the Managing Computer and the AP

To connect the Ethernet managing computer and the managed AP for first-time con-

figuration, you have two choices as illustrated in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2. Connecting a managing computer and an AP via Ethernet.

You can use either a cross-over Ethernet cable (included in the package) or a

switch/hub with 2 normal Ethernet cables.

NOTE: One connector of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the LAN/CONFIG

Ethernet jack of the AP for configuration.

2.3.2 Changing the TCP/IP Settings of the Managing Com-puter

Use the Windows Network Control Panel Applet to change the TCP/IP settings of the

managing computer, so that the IP address of the computer and the IP address of the

AP are in the same IP subnet. Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.xxx (the

default IP address of an AP is Error! Reference source not found.) and the subnet mask

to 255.255.255.0.

NOTE: For some versions of Windows, the computer needs to be restarted for the

changes of TCP/IP settings to take effect.

TIP: After you have connected the managing computer and the AP via Ethernet, you

can install Wireless Network Manager on the managing computer and use it to config-

ure the AP without being concerned about the TCP/IP settings of the managing com-

puter. Refer to the on-line help of Wireless Network Manager for more information.
