This chapter explains how to use the Utility to perform the most basic settings.The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox through theuse of a computer that is networked with the Access Point.For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:• SetupOn the Setup screen, enter your basic network settings (IP address) here.• ManagementClick the Administration tab and then select the Management screen. The Access Point’s default passwordis admin. To secure the Access Point, change the AP Password from its default.HAVE YOU: Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs?

If you have a 48VDC Power Injector (e.g. Linksys WAPPOE), power up your Access Point first, then connect theInjector’s cable to your PC. Configure your PC to have the static IP address on the same subnet as the AccessPoint’s default IP address (192.168.1.245).2. If you have a PoE switch (e.g. Linksys SRW224P), connect your Access Point and your PC to the samenetwork. Configure your PC to have the static IP address on the same subnet as the Access Point’s default IPaddress (192.168.1.245). Or if there is a DHCP server connected to the switch, configure it to assign the IPaddress in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Your PC will get an IP address in the subnet through the DHCP.Chapter 5: Setting Up the Wireless-G Access PointOverview12
