Logging in Without Knowing the IP Address
If the unit's IP address has been changed from its default of 192.168.1.1, and you do not know the
new IP address, you can log into the unit by establishing a connection directly to the CPU. This
requires a Cambium Networks proprietary Low Level Access Ethernet cable. This cable should be
ordered from Cambium Networks (part number N000082L062A).
To log in using this cable:
1.
The IP address of the CPU is 192.0.2.1. To connect, set up a new Local Area Connection with an
IP address as follows:
o
IP address: 192.0.2.3
o
Subnet mask 255.255.255.240
o
No default gateway
2.
Connect Channel 2 of the cable to the MGT port on the PTP 820, and connect the single end of
the cable to the LAN port on the PC. Verify that the MGT port LED is orange. (When a
connection is established using Channel 1 of the cable, the LED on the MGT port is green.)
3.
The system will prompt you for a user name and password (see
4.
Enter the default user name and password:
o
User Name: admin
o
Password: admin
5.
Click Apply.

After a connection is established, you can view or configure the unit's IP address using the
Web EMS. See
