General Information
• The manual configuration must always be done using a computer or a laptop via a network
cable.
• Once the configuration of the Client is completed, it is no longer possible to change the
settings. To reconfigure the device, a reset must be performed first.
• The converter can be operated on any device with network connection. However, additionally
a free USB port is required to supply the power.
• The Client must only be reconfigured when something is changed on the existing WLAN. For
use with a different network device, reconfiguration is not necessary.
Computer Configuration
As delivered, the DHCP server is activated in the Client. The operating system must be set up
so that an IP address is automatically allocated to the network interface card during start up. In
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, this function is the default setting.
If a fixed IP address has been assigned to your computer/operating system’s network card, you
have to change this in the Windows system control, otherwise it is not possible to communicate
with the converter.

Connection of the Client for Configuration
• Connect the LAN interface “Ethernet” on the converter via a 1:1 connected network cable to
your computer’s network card.
• Connect the USB power cable supplied to a free USB port on your computer. Then, connect the
low voltage plug to the corresponding socket on the Client.
• Switch your computer on, and wait until the operating system has booted completely.
Setting up the Device, example for Windows XP/Vista
☞
In addition, observe the English-speaking brief instructions from the manufacturer.
Start your web browser (the following description refers to Internet Explorer). Interrupt the search
for the website set as “home”.
Enter the address line: http://192.168.1.249 or http://cv.setup
After pressing the enter/return button, the user name and password will be requested. Enter
“admin” as the user name and “password” as the password. Then click on “OK”.
The converter’s web interface for configuration now appears.
☞
If you have a “fresh” version of Windows XP (the operating system has been rein-
stalled, or an Internet connection has not yet been made, or the connection to the
Internet was established previously via an analogue modem or ISDN), proceed as
follows, if you are using Internet Explorer in the operating system, before entering
the address 192.168.1.249:
• If the “Internet access assistant” does not appear, select “Internet options” from “Tools”. Click
on “Connections” and then on the “Set-up...” button.
• In the window “New connections assistant”, click on “Next >”.
• Select “Connect to Internet” (normally already preset) and click on “Next >”.
• Click on “Connect manually” and then on “Next >”.
• Select “Connection via continuously active broadband connection”, click on “Next >”.
• Finally, click on “Complete”. Thereafter, Internet Explorer is ready to work with an external
router.
• Close Internet Explorer and open it again.
• Enter http://192.168.1.249 or http://cv.setup into the address line and confirm the entry with the
enter/return key. Now the request for the router’s user name and password will appear.
• As already mentioned above, enter the user name “admin” and as password enter “password”.
Then click on “OK”.
The converter’s web interface for configuration now appears.
Configuration of the Client in the Web Interface
• In the web interface, click on “Wireless” and then on “Site Survey”.
• After a brief loading time, the available WLAN networks and their signal strength will be dis-
played. If this is not the case, click on “Rescan”. The search for available networks will be
repeated.
• Select the WLAN that you wish to connect to the Client and confirm with “Connect”.
• A new window will appear, in which you have to enter the password for the WLAN (Pass
Phrase). Normally, the other settings are already adjusted automatically in the correct way.
Should there be any deviation from the settings for your router, adjust them manually. Confirm
the settings with “Apply”. A message will appear asking you to confirm with “OK”, in order to
complete the configuration.
• The small window and the message will close automatically. Now, an overview of the
connected WLAN network is shown on the main page.
• Close the main page after this, and restart your computer. Once Windows is fully booted
wireless access to the Internet or network should be possible. Your WLAN router automatically
allocates an IP address to the device connected to the Client. The DHCP server in the converter
is now deactivated automatically.
• After performing a short function test with your PC, you can now simply disconnect the Client
from your computer and use it on another device, e.g. on a Playstation 3.
