Ch 2. First Time Configuration

Before Start to Configure

There are two interfaces to configure the device, one is web-browser

interface, and the other is Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the

configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to

the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is

192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.

The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP). In bridge

mode, you can access the device by both WLAN (Wireless Local Area

Network) and wired LAN. And in router/WISP modes, the device can be

accessed by both WLAN and WAN. The default IP addresses for the device

are 192.168.2.254(for LAN), 172.1.1.1(for WAN), so you need to make sure

the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet as the device, such as

192.168.2.X(for LAN), 172.1.1.X(for WAN).

Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and

running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your subnet, otherwise it will

cause abnormal situation.

Inside the CD, we provide the device auto-discovery tool, the tool can detect

the device even your PC is not in the same subnet as the device in case the

IP address of device is changed and forgot by user. The tool only can

discover the device in your local area network.
