Manual Network Setup –TCP/IP Configuration.
The default IP address of the Access Point is 192.168.188.253, and the default subnet is 255.255.255.0. These values
can be changed as you want. For this guide we will use the default values to introduce the webui.
Connect the Access Point with your PC by plugging one end of an Ethernet cable in the LAN port of the Access Point or
into a free port on the PoE switch to which the Access Point is also connected and the other end in the LAN port of PC.
When the Access Point powered by a PoE switch, you can connect to the Access Point by connecting direct to LAN port
of the Access Point or by connecting to the same PoE switch.
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows. And the
procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer to the
Ethernet adapter manual if needed.
3.2 Configuring the IP Address Manually.
Using the LAN connection, you need to set the IP address of the TCP/IP property of the network card to
192.168.188.X (X is number of 2--252) first, so that the device and PC in the same IP segment, and set the subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0, as shown in the following picture:

3.3 Starting Setup in the Web UI.
It is easy to configure and manage the Access Point with a web browser.
Input 192.168.188.253 into the browser, and the login page will appear, the default login password is: admin.
When the Access Point was connected to a PoE switch which also transfers IP address from a router connected to it. It
could be that the IP Address of the Access Point has changed to an IP address in your local range.
To change the language settings from English to Spanish click on the “˅" to open the menu.
The color and layout between the different models of Access Points can slightly different, but the operation is the
same.
