IV. APPENDIX
IV-1. Configuring your IP address
Before you use this access point, you may need to modify the IP address of
your PC or Macintosh. The procedure for doing so varies across different
operating systems; please follow the appropriate guide:
- IV-1-1. Windows XP
- IV-1-2. Windows Vista
- IV-1-3. Windows 7
- IV-1-4. Mac OS
This is since the access point’s default IP address 192.168.2.1 may not be in
the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you are unable to
access the browser based configuration interface. In order to access the
browser based configuration interface, your computer’s IP must be
192.168.2.x where x is a number in the range 1-254, meaning the access
point’s default IP address is in the same IP address subnet of your network. So
if it isn’t already, then you need to modify the IP address of your computer to
192.168.2.10.
After you access the browser based configuration interface, you can change
the IP address of the access point as shown in III-7-2. Management IP, to one
that is within the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you will
not have to modify the IP address of your computer again in future when you
wish to access the browser based configuration interface.
