Chapter 4: Initial Configuration
The wireless AP/Router offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for
the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above).
This chapter describes the wireless AP/Router’s configurable features, all of which
may be accessed through the web interface.
It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly
to one of the wireless AP/Router's LAN ports. The wireless AP/Router has a default
IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to
“Obtain an IP address automatically” (that is, set as a DHCP client), you can connect
immediately to the web interface. Otherwise, you must set your PC IP address to be
on the same subnet as the wireless AP/Router (that is, the PC and wireless AP/
Router addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:
1.
Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the
default IP address of 192.168.2.1.
2.
Log into the wireless AP/Router management interface by entering the default
username “admin” and password “smcadmin”, then click OK.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to change the default user name and password the
first time you access the web interface. For information on changing user names
and passwords, See “Administrator Settings” on page 5-45.

Using the Setup Wizard
There are only a few basic steps you need to set up the wireless AP/Router and
provide a connection for network access for other wireless stations.
The Setup Wizard takes you through configuration procedures for the general
network settings. Follow these steps:
1.
Launch the Setup Wizard
– Click “Setup Wizard” on the left side of the screen
to enter the setup wizard page.
2.
Operation Mode Configuration
– Select the operation mode required for the
network environment. Click “Next” to continue the setup.

WAN Configuration
– Specifies the Internet connection parameters for the
wireless AP/Router’s WAN port. Click Next after completing the setup.
WAN Connection Type
— By default, the access point WAN port is configured with
DHCP enabled. After you have network access to the access point, you can use the
web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed. The options
are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE (ADSL), L2TP and PPTP. Each option changes the
parameters displayed below it. (Default: DHCP)
DHCP
Enables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for the WAN port. This
setting allows the wireless AP/Router to automatically obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server normally operated by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Setup Wizard - WAN DHCP
•
Hostname
– The hostname of the DHCP client.
•
MAC Clone Mode
– Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC
address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address
of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address
provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address
manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with
the registered MAC address to the wireless AP/Router, then click the “Fill My MAC”
(Default: Disable)
Note:
If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by your ISP, call
your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your account. Register
the default MAC address of the wireless AP/Router.

Static IP
Configures a static IP for the WAN port.

Setup Wizard - WAN Static IP
•
IP Address
– The IP address of the wireless AP/Router. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
•
Subnet Mask
– The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets.
•
Default Gateway
– The IP address of the gateway router for the wireless AP/
Router, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local
subnet.
•
Primary DNS Server
– The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server on
the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be
used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. If you
have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses
in the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
•
Secondary DNS Server
– The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server
on the network.
