Getting Started

To access the WBSIac configuration interface, perform the following steps:
1
Connect the local area network (LAN) port of the WBSIac AP to the network port of your computer
using an Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cables are also known as LAN cables or network cables. They connect devices such as
computers, APs, and switches on wired networks.
2
Next, take the power adapter that comes with the set and connect it to a power socket as well as the
WBSIac AP.
3
Assign the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x network,
e.g., 192.168.1.10 and with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
4
Launch a web browser and enter the default IP address of the AP, 192.168.1.1, into the address bar.
The AP's configuration web page is displayed.
The first page that you see is the login page. The words on the top left denote the firmware build
version, e.g., WBSaci-1.01.00001.
The Login Page is presented when the WBSIac AP's IP Address is requested.
The default authorization details are:

Username: admin

Password: password
Advanced information: There is a 'root' user in the AP's Linux shell. It cannot be used to login to the
AP's web page. Use the Arena Controller to change the password of the 'root' user to a password of
your choice. Following that, you can access the AP's Linux shell by using a serial cable or by SSH. The
PuTTY software can be used for either method. The Arena Controller software is offered free of charge.
