Chapter 3: Basic Network Installation
The Ethernet Access Point can be configured 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 configuration.
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 configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed 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 configure 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 firewall 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 configure your PC network environment.
