Software Installation
D-Link WECB has a web-based configuration utility to allow control over certain coaxial
networking parameters. The unit is shipped with default parameters that will allow operation on
most coaxial network without any additional configuration.
Note: If you are connecting to a Wireless Gateway 2, it will automatically configure the settings on
your WECB.
However, if a special network security password is required or if a specific channel operating
frequency is required, then the default parameters will need to be modified. Use the Wireless
Gateway’s web interface (Admin Tool) at http://10.0.0.1 to make any changes.
Web-based Configuration Utility
To access WECB’s configuration utility, open a web-browser (such as Internet Explorer) and
enter the default IP address of the WECB (192.168.0.50). If you are connected to the Wireless
Gateway 2 via Coax cable, then you will have to log in using the IP address assigned by the DHCP
server.
Example: (http://10.0.0.x) where“x”is something other than“1”
Select “User”from the User Name drop-down menu and then enter your password (“Null” by
default):
Note: The WECB will configure itself automatically when connected to a compatible Wireless
Gateway 2.
