TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
After connecting the COM-817 into your network, you should confi gure it. The default IP address of the Wireless Access Point is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN.
They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the AP. There are then two ways to confi gure the IP address for your PCs:
Confi gure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to “ Confi guring the PCs.”
2) Confi gure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (“xxx” is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The AP’s default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode on your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to: “Confi guring the PCs.”
2) Power off the AP and PC(s). Then turn on the AP, and restart the PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s). Now, you can run Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC(s) and the AP. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.
ENGLISH Click ‘Start’→’Run’, type cmd in the text box and click Enter button, then you will see a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the fi gure, the connection between your PC and the AP has been established.
ENGLISH If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the fi gure, it means that your PC has not connected to the AP. Please check it following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the AP correct?
The LED of LAN port on the AP and LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP confi guration for your PC correct?
If the AP’s IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC’s IP address must be within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254, the gateway must be 192.168.1.1
The LED of LAN port on the AP and LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit.
