2.3. Preparing for Configuration 
For you to configure an AP, a managing computer with a Web browser is needed. For first-time con-
figuration of an AP, an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) should have been installed in the man-
aging computer. For maintenance-configuration of a deployed AP, either a wireless computer or a 
wired computer can be employed as the managing computer. 
NOTE: 
If you are using the browser, Opera, to configure an AP, click the menu item File, click 
Preferences..., click File types, and edit the MIME type, text/html, to add a file extension “.sht” so 
that Opera can work properly with the Web management pages of the AP. 
Since the configuration/management protocol is HTTP-based, you have to make sure that the IP ad-
dress of the managing computer and the IP address of the managed AP
 are in the same IP sub-
net 
(the default IP address of an AP is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) 
2.3.1. Connecting the Managing Computer and the AP 
To connect the Ethernet managing computer and the managed AP for first-time configuration, you 
have two choices as illustrated in Fig. 2.
