Setting Passwords

Before setting the access point security parameters, verify an administrative password for the access
point has been created to restrict access to the device before advanced device security is configured.
To password protect and restrict access point device access:
1 Connect a wired computer to the access point LAN port using a standard CAT-5 cable.
2 Set up the computer for TCP/IP DHCP network addressing and make sure the DNS settings are not
hardcoded.
3 Start Internet Explorer (with Sun Micro Systems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or higher
installed) and type in the default IP address in the address field.
To connect to the Access Point, the IP address is required. If connected to the Access Point using the
WAN port, the default static IP address is 10.1.1.1. The default password is "admin123." If connected
to the Access Point using the LAN port, the default setting is DHCP client. The user is required to
know the IP address to connect to the Access Point using a Web browser.
The access point Login screen displays.
NOTE
For optimum compatibility use Sun Microsystems JRE 1.5 or higher (available from Sun's Web site), and
be sure to disable Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine if it is installed.
NOTE
DNS names are not supported as a valid IP address for the access point. The user is required to enter
a numerical IP address.
4 Log in using "admin" as the default Username and "admin123" as the default Password.
If the default login is successful, the Change Admin Password window displays. Change the default
login and password to significantly decrease the likelihood of hacking.
