ONFIGURATION

The SMC2671W is a Plug-and-Play device. This means that, in
most cases, you will not need to configure it.

The SMC2671W Wireless Ethernet Adapter includes an SNMP
agent that is accessible through an SNMP manager application
(Refer to “Using the Configuration Utility” on page 12.) The latest
version may be downloaded from the SMC web site specified on
the back cover of this manual.

The SMC2671W can be configured by a web browser, specifically
Internet Explorer 5.5 or above. Using the web management
interface, you can configure the Wireless Ethernet Adapter and
view statistics to monitor network activity.

Before you attempt to log into the SMC2671W’s web-based
administration, please verify the following.

1. Your browser is configured properly (see below).

2. Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.

3. Confirm that you have a good link LED where your computer

is plugged into the Wireless Ethernet Adapter. If you don’t
have a link light – then try another cable to get a good link.

4. To access the Internet through the Wireless Ethernet Adapter,

you must configure the network settings of the computers on
your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Ethernet
Adapter. The default network settings for the Wireless
Ethernet Adapter are:

SMC2671W IP Address: 192.168.2.25
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
