Initial Setup using the “CONFIG 1” Port
Plug setup cable into the LAN (CONFIG 1) port of the 3e-528 (see page 13)
and the other end to an Ethernet port on your laptop. This LAN port in the 3e-
528 connects you to the Access Point’s internal DHCP server which will dynami-
cally assign an IP address to your laptop so you can access the device for congu-
ration. In order to connect properly to the 3e-528 on the LAN port, the TCP/IP
parameters on your laptop must be set to “obtain IP address automatically.” (If
you are unfamiliar with this procedure, use the following instructions for deter-
mining or changing your TCP/IP settings.)
In Windows 98/Me click Start à Settings à Control Panel. Find and
double click the Network icon. In the Network window, highlight the TCP/
IP protocol for your LAN and click the Properties button. Make sure that the
radio button for Obtain an IP address automatically is checked.
In Windows 2000/XP, follow the path Start à Settings à Network and
Dialup Connections à Local Area Connection and select the Properties
button. In the Properties window, highlight the TCP/IP protocol and click
properties. Make sure that the radio button for Obtain an IP address auto-
matically is checked.
Once the DHCP server has recognized your laptop and has assigned a
dynamic IP address, you will need to nd that IP address. Again, the procedure
is similar for Windows 95/98/Me machines and slightly different for Windows
2000/XP machines.
In Windows 98/Me, click Start, then Run and type winipcfg in the run
instruction box. Then click OK. You will see the IP address of your laptop in
the resulting window, along with the “default gateway” IP address. Verify
that the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x
In Windows 2000/XP, click Start, then Run and type cmd in the run
instruction box. Then click OK. This will bring up a window. In this win-
dow, type ipcong /all |more. This will list information assigned to your
laptop, including the IP address assigned. Verify that the IP address shown is
192.168.15.x
