Connecting the Managing PC and a Managed Device
You need at least one SMC2582W-B EliteConnect 802.11b Wireless Bridge or
SMC2586W-G EliteConnect 802.11g Wireless Bridge to follow the remainder
of the tutorial. Connect the PC on which EliteConnect Management Utility
will run and the device with Ethernet. And then, configure the IP address of
the PC and of the device so that they are in the same IP subnet.

Adding a New Device

to the device list and the Device Properties dialog box appears for you to
enter device properties.

The Deployment and Identification groups of properties and the Comments

name and Port so that EliteConnect Management Utility
knows how to communicate with the device. Enter the IP address of the

port number. The 0 port will be converted to 80 internally by EliteConnect
Management Utility. Then click Apply. After that, you will notice the changes
you have made in the device list.
