Admin
The “Admin” page (Figure 1) is the default home page for the built-in web server.
On this page, users are able to change settings, which are used for
administration purposes. The web page is divided into four sections: Device
Name, IP settings, Security, Commands and Upgrade Firmware.
1. Device Name:
Device Name
This is the name that the bridge will use to identify itself to external
configuration and IP-address-finding programs. This is not the same as
the SSID. It is okay to leave this blank if you are not using these
programs.
2. IP Settings:
IP Address Mode
Select 'DHCP' to get the IP settings from a DHCP server on your network.
Select 'Static' to use the IP settings specified on this page.
IP address
The IP address of this ACR-201-G wireless bridge station. This allows the
user to set a static IP address to the Wireless bridge station. This IP
address is only used for accessing the built-in Web server. In order to
access the Web server, the computer must use an IP address on the
same subnet of the wireless bridge station.
It is not necessary to change
this IP address to an address used by the Wireless Network, but it is okay
to do so, if desired. However, if you do so, please consult with your
system or network administrator to obtain an IP address.
WARNING: Any changes to the IP settings should be contemplated
carefully, documented well, and made only after consulting your
system or network administrator. Failure to do so may result in
being unable to access the built-in Web server and/or may affect
network operation.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.
The factory default is 255.255.0.0. This allows the user to set the subnet
mask.
If you change the IP address to one that is usable in your network,
you may need to change this setting also.
Please ask your system or
network administrator for the correct subnet mask.
Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway that connects you to the Internet.
Allows the user to set the default gateway.
If you change the IP address to
one that is usable in your network, you may need to change this setting
