Web-based Configuration
If you need to configure the DWL-810, follow the steps below:
Before You Begin the Configuration
It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected directly to the
DWL-810 for configuration. The default IP address for the DWL-810 is 192.168.0.30
with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your computer a Static
IP address within the same range as the DWL-810’s IP address in order to configure
the DWL-810. See the Appendix in this Quick Installation Guide if you need
assistance in assigning a Static IP address.
The configuration window will open, as shown on the next page.
Type “admin” for the
username and leave the
password field blank.
Click OK
The logon pop-up
screen will appear.
htt
p

into the URL address
box. Then press the Enter
or Return key.

Configuration
You can change the
SSID and Channel
settings to match an
existing wireless

Changes will not take effect until you reboot the DWL-810. To reboot,
click on Admin at the top of this screen. In the Admin window, click
reboot to save the changes.
You have completed the Configuration of the DWL-810!

Address.)
If the computer you are using for configuration already has a Static IP
Address, be sure to make a note of it. You will need to re-input the
original Static IP Address after you configure the DWL-810.

Go to Start > Double- click on Control Panel > Double-click on Network
Connections > Right-click on Local Area Connections > Click Properties
You have completed the assignment of the Static IP Address. Please see Web
