1.1.1 PC
Browser: Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0, and some Chromium/Internet Explorer
kernel-based browsers (such as 360 Extreme Explorer) are supported. Exceptions such as garble or format
error may occur if an unsupported browser is used.
Resolution: 1024 x 768 or a higher resolution is recommended. If other resolutions are used, the page fonts
and formats may not be aligned, the GUI is less artistic, or other exceptions may occur.
1.2 Default Configuration
Table 1-1 Default Web Configuration
Item
Default
IP address
10.44.77.254
Username/Password
Username and password are not required at your first
login and you can configure the access point directly.
1.3 Login to Eweb
1.3.1 Connecting to the Access Point
You can open the management page and complete Internet access configuration only after connecting a client
to the access point in either of the following ways:
Wired Connection
Connect a local area network (LAN) port of the access point to the network port of the PC, and set the IP address
of the PC. See Configuring the IPAddress of the Management Client.
Wireless Connection
On a mobile phone or laptop, search for wireless network @Ruijie-SXXXX (XXXX is the last four digits of the
MAC address of each device). In this mode, you do not need to set the IP address of the management Client,
and you can skip the operation in Configuring the IPAddress of the Management Client.

Web-based Configuration Guide Fast Internet Access

1.3.2 Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client
Configure an IP address for the management client in the same network segment as the default IP address of
the device (The default device IP address is 10.44.77.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) so that the
management client can access the device. For example, set the IP address of the management client to
10.44.77.100.
Caution
Make sure that the client can access the Eweb system as long as it can ping the access point.
The IP address of the management client cannot be set to 10.44.77.253, because this IP address is
reserved by the device. If the management client uses this IP address, it cannot access the device.
1.3.3 Logging in to the Web Page
(1) Enter the IP address (10.44.77.254 by default) of the access point in the address bar of the browser to open
the login page.
Note
If the static IP address of the device is changed, or the device obtains a new dynamic IP address, the new IP
address can be used to access the web management system of the device as long as the management client
and the device are in the same network segment of a LAN.
(2) On the web page, enter the password and click Log In to enter the web management system.
Username and password are not required at your first login and you can configure the access point directly.
For device security, you are advised to set the management password after your first login to the web
management system. After the password is set, you need to enter the password when you log in to the web
management system again.

If you forget the IP address or password, hold down the Reset button on the device panel for more than 5
seconds when the device is connected to the power supply to restore factory settings. After restoration, you
can use the default IP address and password to log in.
Caution
Restoring factory settings will delete the existing configuration and you are required to configure the device
again at your next login. Therefore, exercise caution when performing this operation.
1.4 Work Mode
The device can work in the router mode, AP mode or wireless repeater mode. The displayed system menu page
and function ranges vary with the work mode. The RAP works in the AP mode by default. If you want to switch
the work mode, see Switching Work Mode.
1.4.1 AP Mode
The device performs L2 forwarding and does not support the DHCP address pool function. In AP mode, the
device often networks with devices supporting the routing function. IP addresses of downlink wireless clients are
assigned and managed by the uplink device (supporting the DHCP address pool) of the AP in a unified manner,
and the AP only transparently transmits data.
1.4.2 Router Mode
The device supports NAT routing and forwarding. The addresses of wireless clients can be assigned by the AP
and wireless network data is routed and forwarded by theAP. NAT is supported in this mode. When anAP works
in the router mode, it supports device networking, network-wide configuration, and AP-specific radio functions.
There are three Internet types available: PPPoE, DHCPmode and static IP address mode. You can connect the
device to an Ethernet cable or an upstream device.
Caution
After switching to the router mode, the device’s LAN IP address will change to 192.168.120.1. Please obtain
an IP address automatically for your management client and enter 10.44.77.254 into the address bar of the
browser to log in to Eweb again.
1.4.3 Wireless Repeater Mode
The device does not support the routing and DHCP server functions in the wireless repeater mode. IP addresses
of the clients are assigned and managed by the primary router. On an available network, the device can be
connected to the primary router through wireless connection to expand the Wi-Fi coverage and increase the
number of LAN ports and wireless access devices.

1.5 Configuration Wizard (Router Mode)
Upon first login, you can perform quick configuration procedures to configure the Internet type, Wi-Fi network
and management password.
1.5.1 Getting Started
(1) Connect the device to a power supply and connect the port of the device to an upstream device with an
Ethernet cable. Or you can connect an Ethernet cable to the device.
(1) Configure the Internet connection type according to requirements of the local Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Otherwise, the Internet access may fail due to improper configuration. You are advised to contact your local
ISP to confirm the Internet connection type:
○Figure out whether the Internet connection type is PPPoE, DHCP mode, or static IP address mode.
○In the PPPoE mode, a username, a password, and possibly a service name are needed.
○In the static IP address mode, an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and a DNS server need to be
configured.
(2) The device works in the AP mode by default. If you want to switch the work mode to the router mode, perform
the configuration on the work mode setting page. See Switching Work Mode for more details.
