Fig. 2: Connecting a managing computer and the IEEE 802.11b/g via Ethernet
You can use either a cross-over Ethernet cable (included in the package) or a switch/hub with two
normal Ethernet cables.
NOTE: One connector of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the LAN0 IEEE 802.11b/g port for
configuration.
2.4. Configuring the AP
After the IP addressing issue is resolved, launch a Web browser on the managing computer. Then, go
to “http://192.168.0.1” to access the Web-based Network Manager home page.
TIP: The IEEE 802.11b/g can be reached by its host name using a Web browser. For example, if the
IEEE 802.11b/g is named “AP”, you can use the URL “http://AP” to access the Web-based Network
Manager of the IEEE 802.11b/g.
2.4.1. Entering the User Name and Password
Before the start page is shown, you will be prompted to enter the user name and password to gain the
right to access the Web-based Network Manager. For first-time configuration, use the default user
name “root” and default password “root”, respectively.
