What You Need to Know
PremierWave Evaluation Board Quick Start 5
What You Need to Know
Hardware Address
You need to know the unit hardware address (also known as MAC address) to identify the unit in
the Device Installer search list. It is on the product label in the format:
XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs are unique numbers assigned to the product.
The product label denotes the hardware MAC address for the Wired Ethernet interface for
PremierWave. The hardware MAC address for the WLAN interface is the next MAC address in
the sequence.
Eg. If product label hardware MAC address is 00:20:4A:9D:01:80, then the WLAN MAC address
is 00:20:4A:9D:01:81.
Hardware Address (Ethernet): _____-_____-_____-_____-_____-_____
Hardware Address (WLAN): _____-_____-_____-_____-_____-_____
IP Address
Your PremierWave will need a unique IP address on your network. By default, the PremierWave
device is assigned an IP address by your DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, the
PremierWave will generate an AutoIP address (169.254.xxx.xxx).
If you are planning to use a static IP address, make note of it. The system administrator generally
provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The IP address must be within a valid
range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC.
IP Address: _______ _______ _______ _______
Subnet Mask: _______ _______ _______ _______
Gateway: _______ _______ _______ _______
Note: The factory default mode for PremierWave EN keeps the Wireless LAN interface
enabled and the Ethernet interface disabled. The IP settings above get applied to the
active interface (WLAN interface – factory default mode).

Connecting a PremierWave Device—Network Method
PremierWave Evaluation Board Quick Start 6
Connecting a PremierWave Device—Network Method
Choose the desired connection method for your PremierWave, and then follow the instructions in
the corresponding section. You have three options for connecting to PremierWave:
1. Wired connection via Ethernet cable.
2. Wireless connection via Wireless router (Infrastructure)
3. Wireless connection via Wireless card (Adhoc – factory default)
Option 1: Wired connection via Ethernet
1. Connect the PC to the PremierWave Evaluation Board with a cross-over cable or a
hub/switch and two RJ45 cables. Make sure there is no router between the PC and the
Evaluation Board.
2. Select the appropriate power plug adaptor for your geographical location. Insert it into the slot
on the Universal Power Supply; then plug the power supply into an outlet.
3. Connect the output plug of the power supply to the PremierWave Evaluation Board.
4. Move the power switch on the Evaluation Board to ON.This is the last step in 'connection.'
The PremierWave is ready for configuration.

Option 2: Wireless connection via Access Point or Wireless Router
.
1. Ensure the PC communicates with the access point (AP) or wireless router (WR) and that the
AP or WR is running correctly.
2. Ensure the PC is on the LAN (not the WAN) side of the AP or WR.
3. Make sure there is no other router between the PC and the AP or WR.
4. Change the AP or WR configuration as follows:
