5. Using the Configuration Menu
The
Configuration Menu
for the DWL-900AP+ is web-based. When using
the configuration program, please consider the following:
Factory Default Settings for the DWL-900AP+
ESSID default
Channel 6
WEP disabled
User Name
Admin
Password
(no password, leave field blank)
IP Address
192.168.0.50
You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet Explorer
4.0 or higher, or the Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP
Address within the same range as the IP Address of the DWL-900AP+.
The DWL-900AP+ has a default IP Address of
192.168.0.50
with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0
If you
are
using a D-Link router in your network, such as the DI-604, with the
factory default settings, you
will not
need to assign a static IP Address to the
computer that you are using to configure the Access Point. (Skip to Fig. 5.1:
entering the IP address)
If you are not using a D-Link router in your network, you
will
need to assign a
Static IP Address to the computer that you are using to configure the DWL-
900AP+, within the IP Address Range of the DWL-900AP+. Assign a static IP
address of
192.168.2
with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
(Please see
Networking Basics in this manual for information on Assigning a Static IP
Address.)
After you have assigned a Static IP Address to the computer you are using for
configuration (if necessary), next you will assign the
DWL-900AP+
an IP
Address within the range of your existing network.
In order to regain connection to the DWL-900AP+, after changing its IP
Address, revert to the IP address that you had for this computer before you
began the configuration, as follows:
•
If this computer had a static IP address re-input that same address.
•
If the computer had a dynamic IP Address (i.e., a DHCP capable router
automatically assigns the IP Address) then change the setting of your
network adapter to receive a Dynamic IP Address.
