bintec elmeg GmbH	2 Basic configuration

Chapter 2 Basic configuration

You can use the GUI (other configuration steps) for the basic configuration of your device.

The basic configuration is explained below step-by-step. A detailed online help system gives you extra support.

This user’s guide assumes you have the following basic knowledge:

•Basic knowledge of network structure

•Knowledge of basic network terminology, such as server, client and IP address

•Basic knowledge of using Microsoft Windows operating systems

You can find other useful applications on the Internet at www.bintec-elmeg.com .

2.1 Presettings

2.1.1 Preconfigured data

You have three ways of accessing your device in your network to perform configuration tasks:

(a)Dynamic IP address

In ex works state, your device is set to DHCP client mode, which means that when it is connected to the network, it is automatically assigned an IP address if a DHCP server is run. You can then access your device for configuration purposes using the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. For information on determining the dynamically assigned IP address, please see your DHCP server documentation.

(b)Fallback IP address

If you do not run a DHCP server, you can connect your device directly to your configuration PC and then reach it using the following, predefined fallback IP configuration:

•IP Address:

•Netmask:

Make sure that the PC from which the configuration is performed has a suitable IP configuration (see Configuring a PC on page 12).

Use the following access data to configure your device in an ex works state:

bintec Next Generation WLAN	9

2 Basic configuration	bintec elmeg GmbH

•User Name:

•Password:

Note

All bintec elmeg devices are delivered with the same username and password. As long as the password remains unchanged, they are therefore not protected against unauthorised use. Make sure you change the passwords to prevent unauthorised access to your device!

How to change the passwords is described in Modify system password on page 14.

2.1.2 Software update

Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production. More recent versions may have since been released. You can easily perform an update with the GUI using the Maintenance->Software &Configurationmenu.
