Chapter 5: System 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
