Chapter 3 Initial Setup

The WAP-6100 allows configuration either via the configuration utility, known as Locator, or Web Browser
through network. For the initial installation, we suggest using the PLANET WAP-6100 Locator. Before
using Locator, please make sure the personal firewall installed in your PC is disabled.

It is strongly recommended to configure and manage WAP-6100 using a wired LAN computer.

3.1 Setup Procedures

1.

Insert the bundled CD in the CD-ROM drive to initiate the autorun program. Click on the
"PLANET WAP-6100 Locator" hyperlink to activate the program.

Or you can start the installation as follows.

A. Click on Start Menu/ Run.

B. Enter “E:\UTILITY\Locator.exe” in the appeared box, where “E” is the letter of your CD-ROM

drive.

C. Click on “OK” button.

2.

When the Locator is started, it will search the available WAP-6100 on the same network. The
Locator shows you the Device Name, Device Type, IP Address, Ethernet MAC Address and
Firmware Version. If there are multiple WAP-6100 or WAP-6100 in the same network, all of
them will be listed.

3.

To change the IP address, select the target WAP-6100 if there are multiple devices, and click on
the “IP Setting” button. A login dialog box will pop up. Please input your user name and
password into the fields. Default user name and password are as below:

User Name: Admin
