Chapter 3: Basic Network Installation
The Ethernet Access Point can be congured through your web browser. A web browser is included
as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/
XP/Me/Vista/7, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for conguration.
Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network
adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system
manuals.
There are ways to connect the device, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly
to your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior
to connecting the device. You ought to congure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a xed
IP address that must be in the same subnet as the device. The default IP address of the device is
192.168.1.253 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same
subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252). If you encounter any
problem accessing the Ethernet Access Point web interface it is advisable to uninstall your rewall
program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the device. Users
should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
