Accessing the Utility

To access the Web-based Utility of the Access Point, launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. In the
Address field, enter the Access Point's default IP address, 192.168.1.245, or the IP address you entered during
the Setup Wizard. (Should you need to learn what IP address the Access Point presently uses, run the Setup
Wizard again. It will scan the Access Point and give you its IP address.) Press the Enter key.
The login screen will appear. Enter admin in the User Name field. The first time you open the Web-based Utility,
use the default password, admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration - Management tab.) Then
click the OK button.
