Getting Started
4ipnet OWL400/410 supports web-based configuration. OWL400/410 is a dual-mode system, AP Mode as the
default mode for the first time entering the system, which also can be configured as either an access point (AP Mode) or a gateway (CPE Mode) based on your needs. 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 mode and CPE mode are as follows:
Mode AP Mode CPE Mode
IP Address
Subnet Mask
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
•Default User Name and Password:
There is only one management account for AP mode, root. In addition, there are two system management
accounts for CPE mode to maintain the system, root and admin, and each has different levels of management
capabilities. The root account is empowered with full privileges while the admin account is with partial ones.
The default user name and password for both the root and admin account are as follows:

Step 1:
IP Segment Setup for Administrator PC
Set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as OWL400/410 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 OWL400/410 or any
other 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 OWL400/410.
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.
Using an incorrect default IP address will result in no Login page
shown in the web browser. Please make sure a correct IP
address is used for the desired mode.
Step 3: System Login
The system manager Login Page will then appear.
Enter “root” in the User name field and “admin” in the Password field, and then click Login to log in.
