It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a
switch for configuring the DWL-2200AP. The default IP address for the DWL-
2200AP is 192.168.0.50 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-
2200AP’s IP address for the purpose of configuring the DWL-2200AP. See the
Appendix if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your
network adapter.
Using a power supply
with a different voltage
rating will damage and void
the warranty of this product.
