(Widman) included on the Enterasys Networks Installation CD to locate the 
Ethernet Adapter on the network and view its IP address. 

Alternatively, you can enter the Ethernet Adapter’s IP address into a web 
browser on a computer on the same subnet to view the Ethernet 
Adapter’s system status or change its configuration. See “Configuring 
the Ethernet Adapter” on page 25 for instructions.

If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Ethernet Adapter uses a 
default IP address (169.254.2.2) that is assigned at the factory. You can 
use that IP address to configure the Ethernet Adapter, or you can assign a 
new IP address to the Ethernet Adapter. 

To verify that the Ethernet Adapter is using the default IP address 
assigned at the factory:

1 Connect a computer directly to the Ethernet Adapter using the supplied 

standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable. 

See Figure 10 on page 18 for a connection diagram.

2 Enter the Ethernet Adapter’s default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the 

computer’s web browser.

■

If the Configuration Management System starts, the Ethernet Adapter 
is using the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the 
Ethernet Adapter with the following login information:

■

Login name: admin 

■

Password: none (blank)

See “Configuring the Ethernet Adapter” on page 25 for detailed 
instructions.

■

If the Configuration Management System does not start, the Ethernet 
Adapter is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start 
the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to 
discover the Ethernet Adapter’s IP address. See “Using the Enterasys 
Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager” on page 26 for 
instructions.
