Web Configuration

If you are incorporating the DWL-G810 into a network that contains all D-Link

devices, you do not need to use the Web Configuration utility. With its default

settings, the DWL-G810 will connect with other D-Link 802.11b or 802.11g devices

that are set to their default settings, with no configuration needed!

If your network contains devices other than D-Link devices, or if you wish to configure

the DWL-G810, you will need to do the following before using the Web Configuration

Utility:

Requirements for using the DWL-G810’s Web

Configuration Utility

You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet Ex-

plorer

6.0 or later, or the Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.

The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP

address within the same range as the IP address of the DWL-G810. The

DWL-G810 has a default IP address of

192.168.0.30

with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0

You will need to assign a static IP address to the computer that you are

using to configure the DWL-G810, within the IP address range of the

DWL-G810. For example, you can assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.2

with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 to the computer you will use for

configuration. (Please refer to the Appendix section of the Quick Installation

Guide.)
