Chapter 2 Basic configuration
You can use the GUI (other configuration steps) for the basic configuration of your device.
The basic configuration is explained below step-by-step. A detailed online help system
gives you extra support.
This user’s guide assumes you have the following basic knowledge:
• Basic knowledge of network structure
• Knowledge of basic network terminology, such as server, client and IP address
• Basic knowledge of using Microsoft Windows operating systems
You can find other useful applications on the Internet at www.bintec-elmeg.com .
2.1 Presettings
2.1.1 Preconfigured data
You have three ways of accessing your device in your network to perform configuration
tasks:
(a) Dynamic IP address
In ex works state, your device is set to DHCP client mode, which means that when it is
connected to the network, it is automatically assigned an IP address if a DHCP server
is run. You can then access your device for configuration purposes using the IP ad-
dress assigned by the DHCP server. For information on determining the dynamically
assigned IP address, please see your DHCP server documentation.
(b) Fallback IP address
If you do not run a DHCP server, you can connect your device directly to your configur-
ation PC and then reach it using the following, predefined fallback IP configuration:
•IP Address:
•Netmask:
Make sure that the PC from which the configuration is performed has a suitable IP
configuration (see Configuring a PC on page 12).
(c) Assigning a fixed IP address
Use the following access data to configure your device in an ex works state:
bintec elmeg GmbH 2 Basic configuration
bintec Next Generation WLAN 9

•User Name:
•Password:
Note
All bintec elmeg devices are delivered with the same username and password. As long
as the password remains unchanged, they are therefore not protected against unau-
thorised use. Make sure you change the passwords to prevent unauthorised access to
your device!
How to change the passwords is described in Modify system password on page 14.
2.1.2 Software update
Your device contains the version of the system software available at the time of production.
More recent versions may have since been released. You can easily perform an update
with the GUI using the Maintenance->Software &Configurationmenu.
For a description of the update procedure, see Software Update on page 15.
2.2 System requirements
For configuration, your PC must meet the following system requirements:
• Suitable operating system (Windows, Linux, MAC OS)
• A web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) in the current version
• Installed network card (Ethernet)
• TCP/IP protocol installed (see Configuring a PC on page 12)
• High colour display to show the graphics correctly
2.3 Preparation
To prepare for configuration, you need to...
• Obtain the data required for the basic configuration.
• Check whether the PC from which you want to perform the configuration meets the ne-
cessary requirements.

2.3.1 Gathering data
The main data for the basic configuration can be gathered quickly, as no information is re-
quired that needs in-depth network knowledge. If applicable, you can use the example val-
ues.
Before you start the configuration, you should gather the data for the following purposes:
• IP configuration (obligatory if your device is in the ex works state)
• Configuration of a wireless network connection in Access Point mode
The following table shows examples of possible values for the necessary data. You can
enter your personal data in the "Your values" column, so that you can refer to these values
later when needed.
If you configure a new network, you can use the given example values for IP addresses
and netmasks. In cases of doubt, ask your system administrator.

same network as your device.
Checking the Windows TCP/IP protocol
Proceed as follows to check whether you have installed the protocol:
(1) Click the Windows Start button and then Settings -> Control Panel -> Network Con-
nections (Windows XP) or Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center->
Change Adapter Settings (from Windows 7 on).
(2) Click on LAN Connection.
(3) Click on Properties in the status window.
(4) Look for the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry in the list of network components.
Installing the Windows TCP/IP protocol
If you cannot find the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry, install the TCP/IP protocol as fol-
lows:
(1) First click Properties, then Install in the status window of the LAN Connection.
(2) Select the Protocol entry.
(3) Click Add.
(4) Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on OK.
(5) Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your PC when you have finished.
Allocating PC IP address
Allocate an IP address to your PC as follows:
(1) Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
(2) Choose Use following IP address and enter a suitable IP address, the matching net-
mask, your default gateway and your preferred DNS server.
If you run a DHCP server in your network, you can apply the default Windows setting Ob-
tain IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically.
2 Basic configuration bintec elmeg GmbH
12 bintec Next Generation WLAN

Your PC should now meet all the prerequisites for configuring your device.
2.4 IP configuration
In the ex works state, your device is configured in DHCP Client mode and therefore dynam-
ically receives an IP address if you run a DHCP server in your network. If this is not the
case, connect your device directly to the configuration PC and use the fallback IP address
.
Configuration with configuration services
Wireless LAN Controller: The WLAN controller has a Wizard which assists you in the
configuration of your access points. Please refer to your gateway's data sheet to find out
the number of Access Points that you can manage with your gateway's wireless LAN con-
troller and details of the licenses required.
When you select the Wizard you will receive instructions and explanations on the separate
pages of the Wizard.
Cloud NetManager: With the Cloud NetManagerhas you can manage the access points. A
valid license for each access point is needed.
Note
If you have previously implemented configurations on your device using the Wireless
LAN Controller, you must set your device to delivery status before using the Cloud
NetManager. The current boot-up configuration will be deleted. Do not forget to export
it, if necessary, and to save it on your PC if you want to use it later.
If you are using the Cloud NetManager, you do not have access to the menus for
WLAN configuartion. If you want to use the Cloud NetManager, you must disable the
Wireless LAN Controller in advance (if it is available). Otherwise, this will take pre-
cedence.
The simultaneous operation of the Cloud Net Manager and Wireless LAN Controller is
currently not intended.
In the System Administration-> Global Settings ->System menu, Communication with
the NetManager is   . The address of the bintec elmeg Cloud NetManager is
preconfigured in the NetManager IP address field. If you want to run your own manage-
ment system, you need to enter the address of your server here.
