LEDs
• The SYS LED blinks amber, then turns steady green when the power is
connected.
• One of the LEDs by the ETHERNET port turns on if the port is properly
connected, and blinks when there is traffic. The amber light shines if the
connection is at 100 Mbps. The green light shines if the connection is at
10Mbps.
 If neither LED near the ETHERNET port turns on, check the cable
connections to the port. Ensure your computer’s network card is
working properly.

Access the Web Configurator
Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later
versions with JavaScript enabled and pop-up blocking disabled.
Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address
Note down your computer’s current IP settings before you change
them.
First, set your computer to use a static IP address in the 192.168.1.3 -
192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This ensures that
your computer can communicate with your NWA1100. See your User’s Guide
for information on setting up your computer’s IP address.
