Starting the First
Management
Session without a
DHCP Server
This procedure explains how to start the first management session on the
access point when the LAN port is connected to an Ethernet switch on a
network that does not have a DHCP server. To start the management
session, perform the following procedure:
1. To use the PoE feature on the access point, be sure to connect the
LAN port to a PoE source device.
2. Connect one end of network cable to the LAN port on the access point
and the other end to a port on an Ethernet switch.
If your network has VLANs, check to be sure that your computer and
the access point are connected to ports on the Ethernet switch that are
members of the same VLAN. This might require accessing the
management software on the switch and listing the VLANS and their
port assignments.
For example, if the access point is connected to a port that is a
member of the Sales VLAN, your computer must be connected to a
port that is also a member of that VLAN. If your network is small and
does not have VLANs or routers, you can connect your computer to
any port on the Ethernet switch.
3. Change the IP address on your computer to 192.168.1.n, where n is a
number from 1 to 254, but not 230.
See the documentation that accompanies your computer for
instructions on how to set the IP address.
4. Set the subnet mask on your computer to 255.255.255.0.
5. Power on the access point by pressing on the Power button.
6. Start the web browser on your computer.
7. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.230 in the URL field of the browser and
press the Return key.
You should now see the logon window, shown in Figure 1 on page 26.
8. Enter the user name and password.
User name: manager
Password: friend
Note
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
9. Click the Login button.
