asic setting of EAP210 or OWL530
4ipnet EAP210 or OWL530 supports web-based configuration. It is required to follow the respective installation
procedures provided to properly set up the desired mode for this system.
Default IP Address of Web Management Interface:
The default IP address and Subnet Mask for the AP is as follows:
Mode AP Mode
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Step 1: IP Segment Setup for Ad ministrator PC
Set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as the AP in TCP/IP of the administrator PC, such as the
following example. Do not duplicate the IP address used here with the IP address of the APor any other
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0
devices within the same network.
>> Example of IP Segment:
The valid range of IP address is 1 ~ 254. However, 1 must be avoided as it is already used by the AP. Below
depicts an example of using 100 (the underlined value can be changed as desired).
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Step 2: Launch Web Browser
Launch a web browser to access the web management interface of AP mode by entering the default IP
address, http://192.168.1.1/, in the URL field, and then press Enter.
