1.3.5 Configuration steps
This section describes configuration required for the WH-5420CPE before it can work
properly in your network.
First, it is assumed that in your LAN environment, a separate DHCP server will be available
for assigning dynamic (and often private) IP addresses to requesting DHCP clients.
Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the WH-5420CPE,
including the S
SID, Channel number, the WEP key, …, etc., it is necessary to associate a
fixed IP address with the WH-5420CPE, which is why the WH-5420CPE will be shipped
with a factory default private IP address of 192.168.100.252 (and a network mask of
255.255.255.0).
Therefore, during the system installation time, you need to build an isolated environment
with the WH-5420CPE and a PC, and then perform the following steps:
Step 1. Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.100.199.
Step 2. Connect the PC to the WH-5420CPE via PoE and change its configuration to a
static IP address based on your network environment. For example, if there is a DHCP
server that assigns IP addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 - 192.168.23.254 to DHCP
client devices, it can reserve 192.168.23.10 for the WH-5420CPE and then the address
pool with the DHCP server becomes 192.168.23.11
– 192.168.23.254.
If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just have to make sure that
there is no machine in the environment has the same IP address as another machine.
Please note that after you change the IP address of the CPE, the PC client may not be able
