Getting Started

ScanTool

ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. ScanTool makes it
possible for you to find the IP address of an Access Point by referencing the MAC address in a
Scan List, or to assign an IP address if one has not been assigned.
The tool automatically
detects the Access Points installed on your network, regardless of IP address,

To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP, the AP must be assigned an IP address
that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the AP is configured to obtain an IP address
automatically from a network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during
boot-up. If your network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to find out what IP
address the AP has been assigned.

Default IP Address

If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the Access Point's IP address defaults to
10.0.0.1. In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign the AP a static IP address that is valid on
your network.

ScanTool Instructions

Follow these steps to install ScanTool, initialize the Access Point, and perform initial
configuration:
1. Locate the unit's Ethernet MAC address and write it down for future reference. The MAC
address is printed on the product label. Each unit has a unique MAC address, which is
assigned at the factory.
2. Confirm that the AP is connected to the same LAN subnet as the computer that you will use
to configure the AP.
3. Power up, reboot, or reset the AP.
Result: The unit requests an IP Address from the network DHCP server.
4. Insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer that you will use to
configure the AP.
Result: The installation program will launch automatically.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Access Point software and documentation.
