INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The outdoor 5GHz AP/CPE offers a user-friendly web-based management interface
for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit
can access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet
Explorer (version 6.0 or above).
CONNECTING TO THE LOGIN PAGE
It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly
to the OUTDOOR AP/CPE’s LAN port. The OUTDOOR AP/CPE has a default IP address
of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP
address to be on the same subnet as the OUTDOOR AP/CPE (that is, the PC and
OUTDOOR AP/CPE addresses must both start 192.168.2.x). To access the
OUTDOOR AP/CPE’s management GUI interface, follow these steps:
1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the default
IP address of 192.168.2.1.
2. Log into the interface by entering the default username “admin” and password
“admin,” then click OK.
STATUS PAGE
After logging in to the web interface, the Status page displays. The Home page
top-menu-bar shows the Status, Easy Setup, Advanced and Language.

EASY SETUP
The Easy Setup is designed to help you to configure the basic settings required to
get the OUTDOOR AP/CPE up and running. There are only a few basic steps you
need to set up the OUTDOOR AP/CPE to get the connection.
Click on Easy Setup to bring up the wizard
OPERATION MODE –AP ROUTER
In AP Router mode, your OUTDOOR AP/CPE unit is turned to a wireless router and
wireless interface will become the LAN side; if your PC is connected to the PoE port,
the management IP will change to the LAN IP (192.168.2.1). The remote
management will be automatically turned on to allow you managing the device from
the PoE LAN port.
