Remote Access
When all changes have been made and saved on the AP, close the browser. Subsequent changes
may now be made from either the AP location or anywhere on the network as long as you are in
the same subnet.
Step 3: Reset Your Computer Network Settings
The last step in the AP configuration is to reset your computer network settings so they match
the settings used by your Network. This step may be skipped if no changes were made to the
AP’s IP address during Step 2.
a. Right-click on the Network icon (My Network Places) on your computer’s desktop and
select Properties from the pop-up menu.
b. Right-click on “Local Area Connection” and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
c. Select the installed TCP/IP protocol, then click the Properties button.
d. If using static IP addresses: Enter an IP Address for your computer that is different than
the AP’s IP address. Usually, you can use an IP number that is one higher than the AP IP
address. For example, if the AP’s IP address is 192.168.1.90 then assign 192.168.1.91 to
the computer. If you have many computers and AP’s in your network, then make sure
that each uses a different IP address within the same subnet.
e. If using static IP addresses: Change your computer’s Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway settings to match the values you received from your ISP or IS Dept.
f. If you selected “Obtain an IP address automatically” in your computer, then you will
usually not be able to change the AP configuration settings until you reset the computer
to a static IP. Set the DNS Server information if necessary.
g. Click on OK in each window to accept the changes.
h. Restart your computer if prompted.
