Malibu Networks AirMAX“ CPE/BTS

192.168.1.2. Set the Subnet Mask to 
255.255.255.0. This will put the PC on the same 
subnet as the default BTS TCP/IP configuration.

Figure 3-2. TCP/IP Settings on PC (Windows)

Restart the PC if the OS requires it (Windows 98 
does).

Launch a Web 
Browser on the PC

Your AirMAX BTS and CPE units are configured using a 
web browser running on a Windows PC or other 
workstation. The configuration web pages are entered by 
simply entering the IP address of the AirMAX BTS or CPE 
you wish to configure. This action launches a webserver 
built into the CPE or BTS and provides you with several 
web pages of information you can view and configure.
