Setup Using TELNET
Run Telnet on a PC connected within the same LAN to set up this product. As Telnet is a text based
program, it requires a bit complicated setup operations but it can be used for setup even on an old PC
with a browser which does not support setup through a web browser.

Connecting to an FX-DS540-APDL-U
For connecting the PC for setup to the AP using TELNET, the PC’s IP address and the AP’s IP address
must belong to the same network group. The IP address factory-set for the AP belongs to the class-A
network group beginning with 10, such as 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. For the PC to be used for setup, therefore,
assign an IP address beginning with 10 (for example, [IP 10.1.1.1, MASK 255.0.0.0]). After connecting
the PC to the AP and setting it up, restore the original IP address of the PC. The IP address of the AP
should be changed when it is set up.
You can also change and setup the IP address of AP depending on PC to set.
(1) Bring up the command prompt. In Windows 98 or Windows ME, choose “MS-DOS Prompt” from
“Programs” in the Start Menu. In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, choose “Command Prompt”
from “Programs” in the Start Menu.
(2) Connect it by using TELNET and then connect it to AP by using telnet command. For example, if
the IP address of the AP is [10.66.1.1], enter the following:
telnet 10.66.1.1
