Configuring your computer
Generally there is no need to change anything on your computer to connect to WRP100. The only requirement is for
wireless network connection to be enabled.
This example shows how to set up your computer under Windows 7 to connect to WRP100. On windows Vista: click
Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows
XP: Click Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You wont’s see “Internet protocol version
4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6).
We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the repeater.
1. Press the Start button
2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to pop up.

15
3. Click “View network connections”
4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to connect to other access points (It is the one with the
name “Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its icon).
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click Properties

16
6. By default WRP100 is going to have DHCP enabled, which means that if you select “Obtain an IP address
automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, WRP100 should lease you an IP and you should
be ready to login.
7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you do:
First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your WRP100 has arrived in you can only enter an IP in
the form of 10.11.12.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 14-253 (10.11.12.14 , 10.11.12.15,
10.11.12.16 and so on). Next we enter the subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Default gateway and
DNS server IPs are not required. Press OK to save the settings.
Nate: Manual settings can be useful if you want to reach user interface of the router when it is already
configured and connected to access point. Manual settings will override IP address provided by access point so
internet connection will be lost.

17
8. Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available
wireless networks. Select “WRP100_Teltonika” and click connect.
9. If WRP100 is powered and yellow LED is lit open page http://10.11.12.13 in your browser to reach user
interface of WRP100

Glossary
DHCP –The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate
with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP
eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected
to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.
AP –Access point. An access point is any device that provides wireless connectivity for wireless clients. In this case,
when you enable Wi-Fi on your router, your router becomes an access point.
DNS –Domain Name Resolver. A server that translates names such as www.google.lt to their respective IPs. In order for
your computer or router to communicate with some external server it needs to know it’s IP, its name
“www.something.com” just won’t do. There are special servers set in place that perform this specific task of resolving
names into IPs, called Domain Name servers. If you have no DNS specified you can still browse the web, provided that
you know the IP of the website you are trying to reach.
LED –Light-Emitting Diode is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used inside WRP100 for indicating device status.
SSID –Service Set Identifier. The SSID identifies a specific wireless LAN. Before associating with a particular wireless LAN,
a client must have the same SSID configured as the access point
