IV. Appendix
IV-1. Configuring your IP address
For first time access to the URL http://edimax.setup please ensure your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This means your computer can
obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. You can check if your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address by following IV-1-1. How to check
that your computer uses a dynamic IP address.
Static IP users can also temporarily modify your computer’s IP address to be
in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254) as the
BR-6288ACL in order to access http://edimax.setup.
The BR-6288ACL’s default IP address is 192.168.2.1.
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating
systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in
IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your computer.
Static IP users please make a note of your static IP before you
change it.
You can assign a new IP address to the device which is within the subnet of
your network during setup or using the browser based configuration interface
(refer to III-3-4. LAN). Then you can access the URL http://edimax.setup in
future without modifying your IP address.
Please remember to change your IP address back to its original
value after the device is properly configured.
