1 Log in to the Web UI
1.1 Login
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the management computer to the AP or the switch
connected to the AP.
2. Configure the IP address of the computer to one in a same network segment with the AP.
For example, if IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.254, then the IP address of the computer
can be configured to 192.168.0.X(Xranges from 2 to 253 and is not occupied by other
devices) and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. Start a browser on the computer and visit the IP address of AP (192.168.0.254 by default).

4. Enter the login user name and password, and click Login.

If the above page does not appear, try the following solutions:
−If an IP-COM AC (including IP-COM router with AC functionality) has already been deployed in the
network, AP may have been managed by the AC and its IP address has changed. Please log in to the Web
UI of the AC and check the new IP address of the AP, and log in again using the new IP address.
−If more than one AP are deployed in the network, IP address conflicts may occur, causing web UI login
errors. Verify that the IP address of the AP is not occupied before being integrated into the network.
−Reset the AP and log in using the default IP address. How to reset: When the SYS LED indicator blinks
green, remove the front cover, hold down the reset button for about 8 seconds, and release when the
green LED indicator turns solid on. When the SYS LED indicator blinks again, the AP is reset.
Log in to the web UI of the AP. You can configure the AP now.
