ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. 
The tool automatically 
•  detects the Access Points installed on your network, regardless of 
IP address, 
•  lets you configure each unit’s IP settings, and 
•  allows you to download new software to an AP that does not have a 
valid software image installed (see 
To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP, the AP must be 
assigned an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, 
the AP is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network 
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If 
your network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to find out 
what IP address the AP has been assigned. 
Default IP Address
If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the Access Point’s IP 
address defaults to 10.0.0.1. In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign 
the AP a static IP address that is valid on your network.
