UNIT INITIALIZATION

Using ScanTool

ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. It is

an initial conguration tool that allows you to nd the IP address of an Access

Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address

if one has not been assigned.

The tool automatically detects the Access Points installed on your network,

regardless of IP address, and lets you congure each unit’s IP settings. In

addition, you can use set initial device parameters that will allow the AP to

retrieve a new software to an AP that does not have a valid software image

installed.

To access the HTTP interface and congure the AP, the AP must be assigned

an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the AP is

congured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network Dynamic Host

Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your network contains a

DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to nd out what IP address the AP has been

assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the Access Point’s

IP address defaults to 169.254.128.132. In this case, you can use ScanTool to

assign the AP a static IP address that is valid on your network.

Scan Tool Instructions

Power up the AP (if not already powered on).

Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the

program. If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All Programs >

ORiNOCO > AP40000MR-LR > ScanTool.

Note:

If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be

prompted to select the adapter that you want ScanTool to use before the

Scan List appears. You can use either an Ethernet or wireless adaptor.

If prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You can change your adapter

setting at any time by clicking the Select Adapter button on the Scan List

screen.

ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected Access Points. The

ScanTool’s Scan List screen appears, as shown in the following example.
