Ch 2. First Time Configuration 
Before Start to Configure 
There are two interfaces to configure the device, one is web-browser 
interface, and the other is Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the 
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to 
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 
192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. 
The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge 
mode, you can access the device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area 
Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be 
accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device 
are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure 
the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as 
192.168.2.X(for LAN), 172.1.1.X(for WAN). 
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and 
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your subnet, otherwise it will 
cause abnormal situation. 
Inside the CD, we provide the device auto-discovery tool, the tool can detect 
the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device in case the 
IP address of device is changed and forgot by user. The tool only can 
discover the device in your local area network.
