This chapter walks you through the steps needed to initially configure the WCB-200.

Configuration procedure

Note: Do not power on Colubris Networks hardware until directed.
Caution:
WIRELESS SECURITY: The WCB-200 ships with all wireless security options disabled.
Colubris strongly recommends that once the WCB-200 is installed, you enable a wireless
security option to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders.
A. Configure your computer
1. Connect the LAN port on your computer to the port on the WCB-200.
The WCB-200 supports automatic crossover detection. However, problems can
Note:
occur when connected to older 10BaseT-only interfaces. Therefore a crossover
cable may be needed when connecting to older network interface cards (NICs).
2. Configure your computer to use a static IP address in the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
The subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is entered automatically. Set the default gateway to
192.168.1.1, and DNS server to 192.168.1.1.
For example, in Windows XP, use Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area
Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties.
3. Disable any wireless connection.
B. Start the WCB-200
Connect the power supply or use an 802.3af PoE injector to power on the WCB-200.
C. Perform these initial login tasks
Note: The following procedure assumes that you the have a Colubris AP set to factory
default accessible to the WCB-200. If you are using a third-party AP, make sure that
the parameters match those of the Colubris AP factory default, i.e.: SSID, open no
security, etc.
1. In a web browser, open page: https://192.168.1.1.
2. You are prompted to accept a security certificate. To continue, proceed as follows: At the
security certificate prompt, in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, select Continue to this website; in
Firefox, select OK.
For information on how you can replace the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate that ships
with the WCB-200 with one of your own, see "Managing certificates" in the WCB-200 Admin
