Product Application
9
Chapter 3: Basic Network Installation
The Ethernet Access Point can be congured through your web browser. A web browser is included
as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/
XP/Me/Vista/7, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for conguration.
Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network
adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system
manuals.
There are ways to connect the device, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the device. You ought to congure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP
server or a xed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the device. The default IP address
of the device is 192.168.1.253 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must
be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252). The
best and easiest way is to congure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the device
using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the Ethernet Access Point web interface it is
advisable to uninstall your rewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing
the IP address of the device. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their
network.
Please follow the following steps to congure your PC network environment.

Problems with the device
Problem Suggested Solution
I forgot my password. First try entering the default user name and password:
User Name: admin; Password: admin. (Both the User Name and
Password are case sensitive, so make sure that CAPS LOCK is
not on when entering this information.)
If this fails, restore your device to its factory default settings and
then enter the default user name and password.
I can not access the LOGIN
Web Conguration Interface.
How do I reset the Ethernet
Access Point?
I can not start my Ethernet
Access Point device.
• Ensure you are using the correct IP address. (Default is
192.168.1.253.)
• Check the hardware connections and ensure all LEDs are
behaving as excepted.
• Ensure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as
the Ethernet Access Point device.
• Check to see if your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX
enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to
ensure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try closing the browser and re-launching it.
• Reset the device to factory defaults and try to acess the Ether-
net Access Point with the default IP address.
There are two ways to reset factory default settings:
• Hardware Reset
To perform a hardware reset, hold down the reset button for
more than 2 seconds until the WLAN LED blinking and release
it.
• Software Reset
To initiate a software reset, select Administration > Restart, click
Factory Default Setting radio box and press Apply button to initi-
ate the restart process. Then wait for about 35 seconds.
Note: Restoring to factory default will wipe out all the
congurations you have previously set. You are strongly
advised to create a backup copy of the settings before
resetting the device.
Please check your power supply is working. Wall Plug Ethernet
Access Point device operates from the power supplied by the
home electrical wiring and can not operate without a working
power supply.
