When to Configure the MT882
The factory default settings of MT882 have optimized all
functions, and made it run in most network conditions. Usually, the
default setting values can meet basic requirements of users with

Configuring IP Settings on Your
Computer
Follow these steps to configure the IP settings:
1)
Understand the default IP settings for the MT882: IP

If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably
already has TCP/IP protocol installed.
z
If you are using Windows XP, the TCP/IP is enabled by
default for standard installations.
3)
Configure the IP address and subnet mask of your
computer. The computer shall work in the same subnet as
that of the MT882. for example, IP address: 192.168.1.100,
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems,
follow the instructions for your OS to configure the IP setting to
occupy the same subnet as MT882.

Accessing the Web-based Configuration
Manager
