What You Need to Know
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 (if available) is the next MAC
address in the sequence.
E.g. 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).
