Connecting The Switch To The Network - D-Link Unified Access System DWS-3000 Series User Manual

Connecting the Switch to the Network

After you perform the physical hardware installation, you need to connect the D-Link WLAN
Controller Switch to the network. The default IP address of the switch is 10.90.90.90/8, and
DHCP is disabled by default. If you want to enable DHCP on the switch or assign a different
static IP address, you must connect to the switch and change the default settings.
You can connect to the switch through Telnet or a Web browser from a host on the 10.0.0.0/8
network, or you can connect to the switch through the console port (RS-232 DCE). After you
connect to the switch, you can provide network information or enable the DHCP client.
To connect to the switch from a host on the 10.0.0.0 network, enter the default IP address of
the switch (10.90.90.90) into the address field of a Web browser or a Telnet client.
To connect to the console port and provide network information, use the following steps:
1. Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the
console (serial) port.
If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program,
such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm.
2. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
- Baud rate: 115,000 bps
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: none
- Stop bit: 1
- Flow control: none
