Setting passwords
Before setting the Mobility 5181 Access Point security parameters, verify an administrative
password for the Mobility 5181 Access Point has been created to restrict access to the device
before advanced device security is configured.
To password protect and restrict Mobility 5181 Access Point device access:
1. Connect a wired computer to the Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN port using a standard CAT-5
cable.
2. Set up the computer for TCP/IP DHCP network addressing and make sure the DNS settings are
not hardcoded.
3. Start Internet Explorer (with Sun Micro Systems’ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or higher
installed) and type in the default IP address in the address field.
To connect to the access point, the IP address is required. If connected to the access point
using the WAN port, the default static IP address is 10.1.1.1. The default password is
“admin123.” If connected to the access point using the LAN port, the default setting is DHCP
client. The user is required to know the IP address to connect to the access point using a Web
browser.
