Now that you have your Base Station(s), CPE's and Network Management Center (NMC) tool all installed, configured
and aligned, the following steps will help you establish wireless connectivity throughout your new network if it does not
already exist:
Step 1: From the Base Station - type the new IP address that you created in the address field of your web browser
and press Enter to load the web interface of the Base Station. Login with your New user name and password,
before moving on to the next step, make certain that the Setup page shows the new settings you initiated in
the Base Station Installation Guide.
Tip Now that you have assigned the final IP address, it is a good time to bookmark your user interface for
easy access as you manage your wireless link.
Step 2: From the CPE - type the new IP address that you created in the address field of your web browser and press
Enter to load the web interface of the CPE. Login with your New user name and password, before moving on
to the next step, make certain that the Setup page shows the new settings you initiated earlier in this
