It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for
configuring the DWL-1000AP+. The default IP address for the DWL-1000AP+ 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-1000AP+’s IP address
for the purpose of configuring the DWL-1000AP+. See the Manual on the CD-ROM 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.
