Accessing The Web Ui; Browser And System Requirements; Connecting To The Web Ui - Motorola WiNG 5.5 Reference Manual

2 - 2 WiNG 5.5 Access Point System Reference Guide

2.1 Accessing the Web UI

The access point uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which can be accessed using any supported Web browser on a client
connected to the subnet the Web UI is configured on.

2.1.1 Browser and System Requirements

To access the GUI, a browser supporting Flash Player 11 is recommended. The system accessing the GUI should have a
minimum of 1 GB of RAM for the UI to display and function properly. The Web UI is based on Flex, and does not use Java as
the underlying UI framework. Motorola Solutions recommends using a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels for using the GUI.
The following browsers have been validated with the Web UI:
• Firefox 3.0 or higher
• Internet Explorer 7 or higher
• Google Chrome 2.0 or higher
• Safari 3 and higher
• Opera 9.5 and higher

2.1.2 Connecting to the Web UI

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to an access point LAN port and connect the other end to a computer with a working
Web browser.
2. Set the computer to use an IP address between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.250 on the connected port. Set a subnet/
network mask of 255.255.255.0.
NOTE: The access point's IP address is optimally provided using DHCP. A zero config IP
address can also be derived if DHCP resources are unavailable. Using zero config, the
last two octets in the IP address are the decimal equivalent of the last two bytes in the
access point's hardcoded MAC address.
For example:
MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
Zero-config IP address - 169.254.240.10
3. To derive the access point's IP address using its MAC address:
4. Open the Windows calculator be selecting
slightly depending on your version of Windows.
5. With the Calculator displayed, select
6. Enter a hex byte of the access point's MAC address. For example, F0.
7. Select the Dec
octet.
8. Once obtained, point the Web browser to the access point's IP address. The following login screen displays:

View
radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for the last access point MAC address
