Page 15: Access Point Setup
The VT-MOB-AH-EVB evaluation board supports both Wi-Fi HaLow AP and STA modes. When it operates in the station mode, it is recommended you use Vantron HAP 101/HAP 103, which supports both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi HaLow standards, as the access point. - Page 16 4. Log in VantronOS for HAP 101 using the gateway IP identified in prior step; username: root password: rootpassword 5. Navigate to Network > Interfaces to check the interface information of the device (the virtual LAN port IP is the current login address of VantronOS for HAP 101).

Page 19: Host Computer Setup
World-leading provider of embedded/IoT products and solutions Host Computer Setup The Ethernet IP of the VT-MOB-AH-EVB evaluation board is set to 172.18.1.1 by default, which is used as the login address of the web interface for the evaluation board. Since the Ethernet jack of VT-MOB-AH-EVB works in the LAN area with DHCP server enabled by default, users can login to the web interface directly with its Ethernet IP when connecting VT-MOB-AH-EVB to a host computer using an Ethernet cable. - Page 20 MOB-AH-EVB; 5. Click OK one by one to close the windows; 6. Now you can proceed to log in to the web portals of VT-MOB-AH-EVB and HAP 101 separately on the host computer. Note: You don’t necessarily need assign two static IP addresses to the host computer as long as you make sure the IP address of the host computer is within the same network as VT- MOB-AH-EVB or HAP 101 when logging in to the web portal of the specific device.
