Chapter 3:
Advanced Configuration
After setting up the Access Point with the Setup Wizard
(located on the CD-ROM), the Access Point will be ready
for use. However, if you want to change its advanced
settings, use the Access Point’s web-based utility. This
chapter describes each web page of the utility and each
page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web
browser on a computer networked with the Access Point.
The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup,
The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup,
Wireless, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will
be available after you click one of the main tabs.
How to Access the Web-Based Utility
Use a web browser to access the web-based utility.
If the Access Point is connected to a network with a DHCP
If the Access Point is connected to a network with a DHCP
server (usually the network router), then the Access Point
will obtain its IP address from the DHCP server. If there is
no DHCP server, then the Access Point will use its default
static IP address, 169.254.1.226. (If you set a permanent
static IP address on the Access Point through the web-
based utility, then enter the static IP address instead.)
NOTE:
If you do not know the Access Point’s
IP address, then find its IP address in the
DHCP clients table of your router. (Refer to the
documentation for your router.)
If you cannot locate the Access Point’s IP address,
If you cannot locate the Access Point’s IP address,
you can reset the Access Point; press the Reset
button on the Access Point for approximately
five seconds, using a straightened paper clip.
This will reset the Access Point back to the
factory default settings. The Access Point will
request an IP address from the DHCP server
(usually the network router). If no DHCP server is
found, then the Access Point will use its default
static IP address, 169.254.1.226, until it detects
a DHCP server and is assigned a dynamic IP
address.
If the Access Point is not associated with a router and is
using the factory default settings, connect a computer
to the Access Point using an Ethernet connection to
access the web-based utility. You will need to configure
the Ethernet connection on the computer with a static IP
address and subnet mask.
The IP address of your Ethernet adapter should be set to a
The IP address of your Ethernet adapter should be set to a
specific IP address.
1. In the IP address field, enter 169.254.x.y (x should
be replaced by a number between 1 and 254, and y
should be replaced by a number between 0 and 255).
2. In the Subnet mask field, enter 255.255.0.0.
NOTE:
The steps to assign a static IP address to
the Ethernet adapter on your computer vary by
operating system. For instructions, please refer
to the help documentation of your specific
operating system.
After you have assigned your Ethernet adapter with a static
IP address, launch your web browser, and enter the Access
Point’s IP address (the default setting is 169.254.1.226) in
the Address field. Press Enter.

from the Administration > Management screen.) Click OK
to continue.
