Initial Configuration
The EliteConnect Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Access
Point SMC2555W-AG offers a variety of management options,
including a web-based interface, a direct connection to the
console port, or using SNMP software such as SMC’s EliteView.
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web
browser interface using the Setup Wizard (page 4-4). The default
IP address is 192.168.2.2. If this address is not compatible with
your network, you can first use the command line interface (CLI)
as described below to configure a valid address.
Initial Setup through the CLI
Required Connections
The SMC2555W-AG provides an RS-232 serial port that enables
a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the access point. You can use the console
cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem cable that
complies with the wiring assignments shown on page B-4.
To connect to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or
a PC running terminal emulation software, and tighten the
captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.
