User Authentication Through the Default Logon Page
In this step, you connect your Windows PC to an Access Controller Module downlink port and log onto
your network using the username and password you added to the built-in database. If this is successful,
you should be able to access the Internet and other resources on your network as normal.
Note: If you are using the same Windows PC as a client that you have been using for configuration,
and the PC’s network interface is configured to use a static IP address, you must change its properties
so that it will obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.
Step 1. Plug the Ethernet cable from your PC into one of the Access Controller downlink ports.
If you are using the same PC as both a client and a management station, you must release the
existing IP configuration (in Windows) from the network interface of the PC as follows:
From the Windows Start menu, click Run then enter the command:
ipconfig /release
Step 2.
Power on the PC to obtain a new IP configuration from DHCP through the Access Controller, or
do the following:
From the Start menu, click Run, then enter the command:
ipconfig /renew
The PC should receive an IP address in the 42.x.x.x range.
Step 3. Start your web browser and go to any web site. After a moment the web browser will display the
ProCurve 700wl Series Logon page (Figure 4-1).
