After configuring the access point’s IP parameters, you can access the management
interface from anywhere within the attached network. The command line interface
can also be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
Setting the Country Code – Units sold in the United States are configured by
default to use only radio channels 1-11 in 802.11b or 802.11g mode as defined by
FCC regulations. Units sold in other countries are configured by default without a
country code (i.e., 99). You must use the CLI to set the country code. Setting the
country code restricts operation of the access point to the radio channels and
transmit power levels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country.
Type “exit” to leave configuration mode. Then type “country ?” to display the list of
countries. Select the code for your country, and enter the country command again,
following by your country code (e.g., tw for Taiwan).
Note: Command examples shown later in this manual abbreviate the console prompt to
“AP” for simplicity.

address: http://192.168.2.2
