Web-based Configuration
Before You Begin the Configuration
• It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for
configuring the DWL-810+. (Note: You also have the option of connecting the DWL-
810+ directly to the computer that will be used 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 for the purpose of configuring the DWL-810+. See the Manual
on the CD-ROM if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network
adapter.
