4.1 Accessing the web interface
To access the adapter’s web interface, a connection via the wired Ethernet interface has to

configuration has to be compatible with the adapter’s settings.
The following steps adjust the adapter settings so they match with the computer’s
configuration.

Changing the adapters wired IP-address
Ideally you will be assigned a free IP address for the adapter by your network
administrator. To select a free IP address yourself, you must know your network

Enter the following command:
cmd /K ipconfig
Press return.
In the window that will open, you will see the computer’s IP address and its subnet mask:
