4.3 What You Need to Know

With the exception of the Wireless LAN screens, the LAN, Monitor, Configuration and Maintenance screens in Client mode are similar to the ones in Access Point Mode. See Chapter 11 on page 117 through Chapter 12 on page 121 of this User’s Guide.

4.4 Setting your WAP3205 to Client Mode

1Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205.

2The default IP address of the WAP3205 is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and “192.168.1.254”.

3Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box. Enter “ipconfig” to show your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP address is not in the correct range then see Appendix C on page 167 for information on changing your computer’s IP address.

4After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type “http://192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.

5Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click Login.

6Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click Ignore.

7To set your WAP3205 to Client Mode, on the left of the screen, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode and select Client Mode.
