First-time Installation and Configuration

Before installing the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL, make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are in the box. You will
need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL has a default
IP address that must be used when connecting to the device for the first time.
• Step 1: Select the power source.
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL can be powered by a DC power input. The device will use whichever power source you
choose.
• Step 2: Connect the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL to a notebook or PC.
Since the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable
or crossover cable to connect the device to a computer. The LED indicator on the device's LAN port will light
up when a connection is established.
• Step 3: Set up the computer's IP address.
Choose an IP address on the same subnet as the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL. Since the device's default IP address is
192.168.1.110, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you should set the IP address of the computer
to 192.168.1.xxx.
NOTE After you select Maintenance  Load Factory Default and click the Submit button, the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL
will be reset to factory default settings and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.1.110.
• Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL
Open your computer's web browser and type http://192.168.1.110 in the address field to access the
homepage of the web-based Network Manager. Before the homepage opens, you will need to enter the user
name and password as shown in the following figure. For first-time configuration, enter the default user
name and password and then click on the Login button:
