IP Address Assigned by DHCP
If you have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the network,
then the DHCP server will automatically assign the Access Point an IP address when the
Access Point is powered up.
To determine what IP address has been assigned to the Access Point, review the IP
address assignment list generated by the DHCP server. The DHCP server should
provide a list of physical addresses and the corresponding IP addresses that it has
assigned to these devices. Locate the AP's physical address on the list to identify its
assigned IP address.
Note:
The AP's physical address is listed on the underside of the unit along with its
serial number and default IP address. The physical address is typically written
as six pairs of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons (for example,
00:20:A6:34:00:12).
Once you have identified the AP's IP address, enter this address in a Web browser's
Location or Address field on a network computer to access the Harmony Access Point
Management tool.
Default IP Address
If your network does not contain a DHCP server, then the Access Point will use the
default IP address assigned at the factory. The default IP address is listed on the
underside of the unit along with the Access Point's serial number and physical address.
The Access Point's default IP address is in the 169.254.0.0 network.
If the Access Point is using its default IP address, then you must configure a network
computer with a unique IP address in the 169.254.0.0 network in order to access the
Harmony Access Point Management tool.
For example, if the Access Point's default IP address is 169.254.5.23, then configure one
of the network computers with an IP address of 169.254.0.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 (assuming that 169.254.0.1 is not already assigned to another network
device). Restart the network computer if prompted for the new IP address to take effect.
