Setting the IP Address of the Access
Point
The first step in using the AP is to set its IP Address. This procedure can be
done either through the Ethernet port by using a combination of Arp/Ping commands
and the SNMP Manager, or the USB port by using the DFU utility.
3.1 Using the
Ethernet Port
In order to set the Access Point IP address you need to know the Access Point MAC
address. Follow the steps below giving the Access Point a temporary address at the
beginning (Step A) and saving the IP address through the SNMP Manager application
(Step B).
Step A:
1.
Connect an Ethernet station and the Access Point on the same subnet. The sim-
plest way to accomplish that is to connect the Access Point and the Ethernet
station to the same hub. You need to check if the station IP address and the Sub-
net mask are configured properly. Also the new IP address for the Access Point
must correspond to the Subnet mask.
2.
Open a MS-DOS Prompt window and enter a static route in the arp table for the
new IP address you want to assign. Use the arp -s command to do that:
arp -s "new-IP-address" "AP-MAC-address"
For example: arp -s 10.170.254.27 00-00-22-22-22-25
3.
Ping the Access Point, using its new IP address.
For example: ping 10.170.254.27
4.
If you get a ping reply, then the IP address has been temporarily set. In order to
set it permantly you need to proceed to Step B without powering off the Access
Point.
Step B:
1.
Execute the SNMP Manager application using the IP address as set above (Step
A).
2.
Save the current configuration through the SNMP Manager application.
3.
Open the SNMP Manager application, select “Connect AP-Bridge” option under
the “File” menu. Try to connect to the Access Point, by typing its IP address in
the panel which appears and at the Community field, type "public" and then
