14 Step 5 — Change Array configuration (optional)
c. If the network uses DHCP but you don’t have a reserved address and can’t
examine the DHCP server tables, you have two options to find the Array address
that was assigned by DHCP:
• If you have an 8-, 12-, or 16-radio Array (for example, the XN8 furnished
with XK-RDW-200-N), you may use an extra Ethernet cable (not
supplied) to connect port
Ethernet0 on the bottom of the Array directly to
an Ethernet port on your laptop computer (we’ll call this the computer
port ). Use Ethernet0’s default address of 10.0.1.1 to access the WMI as
described starting with Step 3 below. You must first set the IP address of
your laptop’s computer port to be in the same IP subnet as Ethernet0. If
you need instructions for doing this on Windows, see “Setting the IP
Subnet of Your Laptop Port to Access the Array” on page 26 .
Once you have entered the WMI, click
Status>Network
. Write down the
IP address of Gigabit Ethernet 1 .
• Otherwise, see “Using the Console (Serial) Port to Find the Array IP
Address” on page 26 .
d.
If there is no DHCP server being used on the network, you may connect directly
to an Ethernet port on the Array using its default IP address, as described below.
In either of these two cases,
after you log in to the WMI in Step 4 , be sure to
change the Gigabit1 port’s IP address to one that is part of your network , as
described in “Change the Array IP address (if needed)” on page 17 .
• For an Array with 8, 12, or 16 radios, connect to the Ethernet0 port
following the directions in Step c above, using its default IP address of
10.0.1.1 to access the WMI.
• 4-radio Arrays have no Ethernet0 port. Since the Gigabit1 port (called
Gigabit POE on some Arrays) supplies power to the Array, you cannot
connect your laptop to this port directly. Connect your laptop computer
to the power injector’s
IN port instead. Access the WMI using the
Gigabit1 port’s default IP address ( 10.0.2.1 ). Set the IP address of your
laptop’s computer port to be in the same IP subnet as Gigabit1. Note that
in this case, you must change the instructions in “Setting the IP Subnet of
Your Laptop Port to Access the Array” on page 26 to set the IP address of
your computer port to 10.0.2.2 .
3. Open a Web browser. In the URL field, enter the IP address of the Array. Your
computer’s IP address must be on the same IP subnetwork as the Array. You must
have connectivity to the Array at that IP address, via a wired LAN or a wireless
connection (see
“Step 6 — Connecting wireless clients” on page 16 ).
