• Obtain an IP Address Automatically. Click this radio button to allow the
Access Point to obtain a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server.
• Specify an IP Address. This IP address must be unique to your network.
We suggest you use the default IP address of 192.168.1.251. As this is a pri-
vate IP address, there is no need to purchase a separate IP address from
your service provider. Verify the address and click the Apply button to save
changes.
• Subnet Mask. The Access Point’s Subnet Mask (or IP Mask) must be the
same as your Ethernet network. Verify this is correct and click the Apply
button to set it.
• Gateway. This setting only appears when the DHCP client is enabled and
the IP Address is obtained automatically. It indicates the status of the gate-
way and is not user-adjustable.

Wireless Network Access Point Instant Wireless TM Series
Chapter 6: Configuring the
Wireless Network Access Point
The Access Point has been designed to be functional right out of the box, with
the default settings in the Setup Wizard. However, if you’d like to change these
settings, the Access Point can be configured through your web browser with the
Web-Based Utility. This chapter explains how to configure the Access Point in
this manner.
Open your web browser
and type the IP Address
you entered in the Setup
Wizard. Press the Enter
key and the following
screen, shown in Figure
6-1, will appear. Leave
the User Name field
blank. The first time
you open the Web-
Based Utility, use the
default password
admin. You can set a
new password on the
screen shown in Figure
6-7.
The first screen that appears, shown in Figure 6-2, is the “Setup” tab. This
allows you to change the Access Point’s general settings. Change these settings
as described here and click the Apply button to apply your changes or Cancel
to cancel your changes. If you require online help, click the Help button.
• Access Point Name. You may assign any name to the Access Point.
Unique, memorable names are helpful, especially if you are employing
multiple access points on the same network. Verify this is the name you
wish to use and click the Apply button to set it.
