Getting Started
2.4. Communication: Set the IP Address
The WiNG-MGR will not communicate over a user’s network the first time it is connected.
This is because the manufacturer programs the device with a default IP address:
10.0.0.188
,
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
. This default address must be changed to an IP address that
corresponds with the user’s network before the WiNG-MGR can communicate over the
network. There are two ways to set the WiNG-MGR’s IP address: via the web browser or via
the EIA-232 interface.
2.4.1 Set the IP Address Using a Web Browser
Attention : If you have not set an IP address before, consult your IT Department for support.
NOTE The default IP address for the WiNG-MGR is
10.0.0.188
The default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0
There is no default user name or password.
1
Contact your IT Department to obtain an available IP address, Subnet Mask, and default
Gateway.
2
Plug a crossover network cable into the laptop or workstation that will be used to configure
the WiNG-MGR.
3
You’ll need to change the IP address and Subnet Mask of your computer so it can
communicate with the WiNG-MGR in its factory-configured state. Before you change
anything, write down the original IP address and Subnet Mask of your computer - you’ll
need to revert back to these original settings once the WiNG-MGR is configured.
4
Change the IP address and Subnet Mask of the computer from its existing address to one
that will allow it to communicate with the WiNG-MGR, such as
10.0.0.189
. It may be
beneficial to set the IP address to one that is one number different from the WiNG-MGR’s
IP address (
10.0.0.188
).
5
Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the
WiNG-MGR.
6
Access the WiNG-MGR through a Web browser — type the WiNG-MGR’s IP address
(
10.0.0.188
) into the location bar.
7
From the WiNG-MGR’s Dashboard, select the System Configuration link on the left side
of the page. Then click the IP link to access the IP configuration tab. Change the IP address,
Subnet Mask, and default Gateway to the one provided by your IT Department, or change it
to 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP. Press the Save Changes button. The WiNG-MGR will save the
new IP address, Subnet Mask and default Gateway and then reboot itself.
8
Change the IP address of the computer back to its original IP address. If the computer was
configured as DHCP (the network domain controller assigns an IP address) return it to this
state. This may require assistance from your IT Department, or you may need to consult the
computer's manual.
9
The computer and the WiNG-MGR are now both configured to communicate on the
network. Both should be accessible via the network. Connect the PC and the WiNG-MGR
to the network. From the PC web browser, type in the new IP address of the WiNG-MGR.
Enter the user name and password as stated above to verify network access to the device.
