Configuration Steps - Wistron CA8-PRO User Manual

You can reset the Access Point's Settings to factory defaults by
pushing a paperclip in the RESET hole. Push and hold until the
lights at the front of the Access Point are off.

2.3 Configuration steps

This section describes configuration required for the 802.11A/G ACCESS
POINT before it can work properly in your network.
First, it is assumed that in your LAN environment, a separate DHCP server will
be available for assigning dynamic (and often private) IP addresses to
requesting DHCP clients.
Additionally, since you need to perform various configuration changes to the
802.11A/G ACCESS POINT, including the SSID, Channel number, the WEP
key, ..., etc., it is necessary to associate a fixed IP address with the 802.11A/G
ACCESS POINT, which is why the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT will be shipped
with a factory default private IP address of 192.168.1.1 (and a network mask of
255.255.255.0).
Therefore, during the system installation time, you need to build an isolated
environment with the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT and a PC, and then perform
the following steps:
Step 1. Manually change the IP address of the PC to become 192.168.1.3.
Step 2. Connect the PC to the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT and change its
configuration to a static IP address based on your network
environment. For example, if there is a DHCP server that assigns IP
addresses from the range 192.168.23.10 - 192.168.23.254 to DHCP
client devices, it can reserve 192.168.23.10 for the 802.11A/G
ACCESS POINT and then the address pool with the DHCP server
becomes 192.168.23.11 – 192.168.23.254.
If there is no DHCP server on your network environment, you just
have to make sure that there is no machine in the environment has
the same IP address as another machine.
Please note that after you change the IP address of the ACCESS
