SMC Networks SMC2655W User Manual page 11

Utility Configuration (Web-based)
The default IP address of the SMC2655W is 192.168.2.50. If you prefer
to configure the AP via a web browser rather than the utility pro-
gram, you can do so by opening your web browser and going to
"http://192.168.2.50". You need to be sure that your computer is con-
figured in the same subnet in order to access the Access Point's web
management interface. For example, your machine's IP should be
192.168.2.x (where x is not equal to one (1) or fifty (50), but is less
than 255).
Once you are able to access the AP, you will need to login by entering
the default password. Type in "default" and then press [Login].
Once you are logged in, you will be able to view the firmware version,
change the IP scheme, change the password and/or configure
security options.

Click the [Configuration] link on the left and a drop down menu will
appear on the page. Then click the [General] option to continue. The
"Access Point Name" is simply used to identify the AP. This is not the
Service Set Identifier.
The "ESSID" field represents the wireless workgroup name. Your wire-
less clients must have the same value configured in their network
settings. You can also choose the operating radio channel. In the
"Administration Parameters" section, you can change the password
required for any administrator to log into this AP. Note that this pass-
word is needed to login via both the web interface and the utility
application. After changing any parameters, you need to press the
[Apply] button on the bottom of the page.
