Changing The Configuration - Step by Step

Please be aware that if you change the IP Address or User Password and forget their new values, you 

have locked yourself out of the browser interface. The AW58300 runs self-diagnostics at boot-up and 

will auto-correct most system configuration errors. Prior to calling technical support, it is recom

mended to power cycle the radio and confirm that the problem remains.

In the event of a lost IP address, the AW58300 has a permanent factory IP address of 192.168.88.88 

that can be used to access the radio to reset the user-defined IP address. In the event of a lost pass

word, please contact AvaLAN technical support for assistance.
If you are changing parameters over the RF link (we do not recommend this), be sure to make the 

remote changes first because the link will be broken if the SSIDs or Security Keys do not agree.

1. Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask, Gateway and Device Name:

• 

In the upper right area of the Quick Set page are the data entry boxes for these parameters. 

They contain the current values.

• 

A special notation is used for the IP Address and Subnet Mask: Use /x at the end of the 

IP Address to specify the subnet mask: /8 for 255.0.0.0, /16 for 255.255.0.0 and /24 for 

255.255.255.0. Enter a new IP Address and subnet making sure you will be able to browse to 

the new address with your computer. Also, make sure that the new IP address is unique on your 

LAN.

• The Gateway address should be specified if it is necessary to communicate with the radio 

through the Gateway. Your system administrator should have this value.

• 

The Device Name is an arbitrary string and simply allows you to attach a human-friendly name 

to this specific radio.

• Click “Apply Configuration” when you have entered new values. Nothing appears to happen, but 

you have been disconnected and will need to browse to the new IP Address to login again.
