2.3. Preparing for Configuration
To configure a IWE3200-H, a managing computer with a Web browser is needed. For first-time con-
figuration of a IWE3200-H, an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) should have been installed in
the managing computer. For maintenance-configuration of a deployed IWE3200-H, either a wireless
computer or a wired computer can be employed as the managing computer.
NOTE:
If “Opera” browser is used to configure an IWE3200-H, click the menu item File, click
Preferences... click File types, and edit the MIME type, text/html, to add a file exten-
sion “.sht” so that Opera can work properly with the Web management pages of the
IWE3200-H
.
Since the configuration/management protocol is HTTP-based, you have to make sure that the IP ad-
dress of the managing computer and the IP address of the managed IWE3200-H are in the same IP
subnet (the default IP address of an AP is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.)
2.3.1. Connecting the Managing Computer and the
IWE3200-H
To connect the managing computer and the IWE3200-H for first-time configuration, you have two
choices as illustrated in Fig. 6.
Fig. 6. Connecting a managing computer and an IWE3200-H via Ethernet.
You can use either a cross-over Ethernet cable (included in the package) or a switch/hub with 2
straight-through Ethernet cables.
NOTE:
One connector of the Ethernet cable must be plugged into the LAN Ethernet port of the
IWE3200-H
for configuration.
