Accessing your Canopy AP Unit Configuration
A PC for accessing your Canopy AP Unit configuration does not require
any special setup beyond proper installation of Ethernet interface device,
drivers, and TCP/IP protocol.
Configuring the CANOPY AP Unit
During normal operation, the Canopy AP Unit provides a variety of status
& diagnostic information should this become necessary. The Canopy AP
Unit requires little configuration for operation and is delivered with default
operating parameters. As described earlier, in a multiple AP system,
reconfiguration of the Canopy AP Units is required to assign unique IP
address assignments, as well as coordinate Canopy AP Unit frequencies.
Open your web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) and enter the
Canopy AP Unit default URL (
http://169.254.1.1
), or the URL with the
unique IP address assigned to a specific Canopy AP Unit. If the CANOPY
radio is powered and a proper network connection exists to your computer,
you will see the CANOPY AP Unit status page open in your web browser.
These web pages are within the CANOPY AP Unit, and no connection to
the Internet is required. Various web pages within the CANOPY AP Unit
can be selected from the choices on the left.
