<AP Mode—Default Mode>
Step 1: IP Segment Setup for Administrator PC
Set a static IP address on the same subnet mask as OWL500/510 in TCP/IP of the administrator PC, such as
the following example. Do not duplicate the IP address used here with the IP address of OWL500/510 or any
other devices within the same network.
>> Example of IP Segment:
The valid range of IP address is 1 ~ 254. However, 1must be avoided as it is already used by OWL500/510.
Below depicts an example of using 100 (the underlined value can be changed as desired).
IPAddress: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Step 2: Launch Web Browser
Launch a web browser to access the web management interface of AP mode by entering the default IP
address, http://192.168.1.1/, in the URL field, and then press Enter.
Using an incorrect default IP address will result in no Login page
shown in the web browser. Please make sure a correct IP
address is used for the desired mode.
Step 3: System Login
The system manager Login Page will then appear.
Enter “root” in the User name field and “admin” in the Password field, and then click OK to log in.
