The AP web interface can be accessed with a web browser connected locally at the data port of
the PoE injector or remotely through the backhaul network. On-Ramp Wireless recommends
that you use one of the following internet browsers when using the AP web interface:
 Microsoft Internet Explorer® 8 or higher
 Mozilla Firefox®, any version
 Google Chrome™, any version
NOTE: The AP web interface described in this chapter is compatible with AP software version
4.8.0 and System Release 1.4.
7.1 Initial AP Network Configuration Prior to Installation
The AP is shipped the following factory default IP Network Settings:
 IP Address: 192.168.1.1
 Netmask: 255.255.255.0
 Default Router: 192.168.1.254
This section covers the minimum AP IP network configuration required to establish remote
connectivity with the AP. This configuration must be performed prior to AP installation or on-
site immediately following the physical AP installation. In most cases it is strongly recommended
this initial configuration be performed prior to installation.
Refer to Figure 5 for the connections required to configure an AP. If the AP is being installed
with a 3G wireless modem for backhaul, refer to section 7.1.1. If the AP is being installed with
any other type of customer-provided IP backhaul, refer so section 7.1.2.
7.1.1 Initial AP Network Configuration for 3G Wireless Backhaul
Modem
When activating the 3G wireless modem, a static IP address is required from the wireless carrier.
The LAN side of the 3G modem can be configured to support the default IP network settings of
the AP. This avoids the need to change these default settings in the AP. After the AP is installed,
a connection to the AP can be established using the IP address of the 3G modem and the AP can
be configured remotely. Refer to the On-Ramp Wireless 3G Modem Configuration Guide for
additional information.
7.1.2 Initial AP Network Configuration for Customer Backhaul
The default IP network settings for the AP must be changed to allow connection to the AP over
the customers IP network. To make these changes, perform the following steps:
1. Log into the AP as described in section 7.2.
