ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 Reference Manual
Note: If your PC's IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:
Windows and Mac operating systems generate and assign an IP
address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These
auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP
address is in this range, check the connection from the PC to the
wireless controller and reboot your PC.
• If the wireless controller's IP address has been changed and you do not know the current
IP address, reset the wireless controller's configuration to factory defaults settings. This
sets the wireless controller's IP address to 192.168.0.250. This procedure is explained in
Rebooting or Resetting the Wireless Controller
Note: If you do not want to revert to the factory defaults settings and lose
your configuration settings, you can reboot the wireless controller
and use a sniffer to capture packets sent during the reboot. Look at
the ARP packets to locate the wireless controller's LAN interface
address.

Internet Browser

• Make sure that you are using the http://address login rather than the https://address login.
• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory defaults login
name is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when
entering this information.
If the wireless controller does not save changes you have made in the Web configuration
interface, check the following:
• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another tab or screen, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in your Web browser. The changes might have
occurred, but the Web browser might be caching the old configuration.
