3.1 Before Configuration
This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that
communicate with the ADE-4200/ADW-4200, either to configure the device, or for
network access. These PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly, be
connected to the ADE-4200/ADW-4200 either directly or through an external repeater
hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP
server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet of the ADE-4200/ADW-
4200. The default IP address of the ADE-4200/ADW-4200 is 192.168.1.254 and subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. The best and easy way is to configure the PC to get an IP
address from the ADE-4200/ADW-4200. Also make sure you have UNINSTALLED any
kind of software firewall that can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP
address of the router.
