Page 11: Configuring The Ap Through Web Browser
Preliminary Configuring the AP through Web Browser The following procedures show the steps to configure the channel frequency and SSID using a web browser: 1. Launch a web browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer are examples of commonly used web browsers) from the Host PC or other PC on the same IP subnet as the AP, and enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP as the URL. - Page 12 Preliminary 2. Click Setup. A dialog box appears that requests login authorization. When prompted, enter the following information to log in: Log in: Admin Password: 5up Click OK to complete the login process. 3. After the Setup menu loads, enter the SSID and IEEE Radio Channel that the stations (STAs) are associating in Infrastructure mode.
- Page 13 Preliminary Another new feature added to the AP firmware is the ability to control Transmit Power parameter. This feature can be used to decrease the transmit power, and therefore, reduce the range of the radio. In this operation mode, more than one AP with the same channel frequency can exist in the same location (as long as the ranges of these APs can cover are not overlapped each other).
- Page 14 Preliminary 4. Optionally, you can also set up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for security purposes. To set up WEP, click WEP and the configuration screen appears. Refer to Appendix A for a detailed explanation of the WEP configuration options. Click Apply to save the settings. Note that the Un-Encrypted Frames filter option (previously available in release 1.0) is now removed.
