Chapter 5: Setting Up the Wireless-G Access Point with 

Power Over Ethernet

The Access Point has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings. However, if 
you'd like to change these settings, the Access Point can be configured through your web browser with the Web-
based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the Utility.

The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox through the 
use of a computer that is networked with the Access Point.

For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:

•

Setup
On the Setup screen, enter your basic network settings (IP address) here.

•

Management
Click the Administration tab and then select the Management screen. The Access Point’s default password 
is admin. To secure the Access Point, change the AP Password from its default.

Most users will also customize their wireless settings:

•

Wireless
On the Wireless screen, change the default SSID under the Basic Wireless Settings Tab. Select the level of 
security under the Wireless Security Tab.

There are three ways to connect to your Access Point for the first time. 

1. If you have a 48V Power Injector (e.g. Linksys WAPPOE), power up your Access Point first, then connect the 

cable from your Injector to your PC. Configure your PC to have the static IP address on the same subnet as the 
Access Point’s default IP address (192.168.1.245). 

2. If you have a PoE switch (e.g. Linksys SRW224P), connect your Access Point and your PC to the same LAN. 

Configure your PC to have the static IP address on the same subnet as the Access Point’s default IP address 

HAVE YOU: Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs? PCs 
communicate over the network with this 
protocol. Refer to “Appendix D: Windows Help” 
for more information on TCP/IP.
