3e-522AW Wireless Access Point
port on your laptop. This Local port in the 3e-522AW connects you to the
device's internal DHCP server which will dynamically assign an IP
address to your laptop so you can access the device for reconfiguration.
In order to connect properly to the 3e-522AW on the Local port, you
must be sure that the TCP/IP parameters on your laptop are set to
"obtain IP address automatically."
(If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, use the following instruc-
tions for determining or changing your TCP/IP settings.)
In Windows 95/98 click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Find
and double click the Network icon. In the Network window, high-
light the TCP/IP protocol for your LAN and click the Properties
button. Make sure that the radio button for Obtain an IP address
automatically is checked.
In Windows 2000, follow the path Start -> Settings -> Network
and Dialup Connections -> Local Area Connection and select the
Properties button. In the Properties window, highlight the TCP/IP
protocol and click properties. Make sure that the radio button for
Obtain an IP address automatically is checked.
Once the DHCP server has recognized your laptop and has assigned
a dynamic IP address, if you need to find that IP address again, use the
following procedure. As above, the procedure is similar for Windows 95/
98/Me machines and slightly different for Windows 2000 machines.
In Windows 95/98/Me, click Start, then Run and type winipcfg
in the run instruction box. Then click OK. You will see the IP ad-
dress of your laptop in the resulting window, along with the "de-
fault gateway" IP address. Verify that the IP adress shown is
192.168.15.x
In Windows 2000, click Start, then Run and type cmd in the run
instruction box. Then click OK. This will bring up a window. In this
window, type ipconfig /all |more. This will list information as-
signed to your laptop, including the IP address assigned. Verify that
the IP address shown is 192.168.15.x
On your computer, pull up a browser window and put the default
URL for the 3e-522AW Local LAN in the address line. (192.168.15.1)
