Using the Configuration Menu

The Configuration Menu for the DWL-900AP+ is web-based. When using
the configuration program, please consider the following:
You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet Explorer
4.0 or higher, or the Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP
Address within the same range as the IP Address of the DWL-900AP+.
The DWL-900AP+ has a default IP Address of
mask 255.255.255.0
If you are using a D-Link router in your network, such as the DI-604, with the
factory default settings, you will not need to assign a static IP Address to the
computer that you are using to configure the Access Point. (Skip to Fig. 5.1:
entering the IP address)
If you are not using a D-Link router in your network, you will need to assign a
Static IP Address to the computer that you are using to configure the DWL-
900AP+, within the IP Address Range of the DWL-900AP+. Assign a static IP
address of 192.168.2 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (Please see
Networking Basics in this manual for information on Assigning a Static IP
Address.)
After you have assigned a Static IP Address to the computer you are using for
configuration (if necessary), next you will assign the DWL-900AP+ an IP
Address within the range of your existing network.
In order to regain connection to the DWL-900AP+, after changing its IP
Address, revert to the IP address that you had for this computer before you
began the configuration, as follows:
•
If this computer had a static IP address re-input that same address.
•
If the computer had a dynamic IP Address (i.e., a DHCP capable router
automatically assigns the IP Address) then change the setting of your
network adapter to receive a Dynamic IP Address.
