Chapter 4 - Configuration

The web-based configuration tool lets you change advanced settings for the AirStation. Don’t 
change these settings unless you know what you’re doing.

How to Access the Web-Based Configuration Utility

To configure the AirStation’s advanced  settings manually, log in to the web-based configuration 
utility as shown below.

3

Launch a web browser.

Enter the AirStation’s LAN-side IP address in the 
address field, and press the [Enter] key.

Note:  ·  The AirStation’s default LAN-side IP address is 192.168.11.1.

·  If you changed the IP address of the AirStation, then use the new IP address.

When this screen appears, enter [root] 
(in lower case) for the user name and the 
password that you set during initial setup.  
Click [OK].

Note:  ·  By default, the password is blank (not set). 

·   If you forget your password, hold down the  

Reset button (page 10) to initialize all settings. 
The password will then be blank.  Note that 
all other settings will also revert to their 
default values.
