NOTE: A CEN-WAP-ABG is designed to be functional right out of the box.
Configure the CEN-WAP-ABG only if customized settings are desired.
If customized settings are not desired, refer to the latest version of the
CEN-WAP-ABG-1G Quickstart Guide (Doc. 6693) or the CEN-WAP-ABG-CM
Quickstart Guide (Doc. 6787), which is available from the Crestron website, for
guidelines to connect the access point to Crestron Wi-Fi touchpanels.
A CEN-WAP-ABG provides a Web-based utility that can be accessed from a Web
browser or from the Crestron Toolbox™. The utility offers two configuration modes:
• Setup Wizard configuration mode, which provides instructions and
automated access to the screens necessary to set up a particular
configuration or application scenario.
• Custom Settings configuration mode, which allows more advanced
configuration than that provided by the wizard and also allows monitoring
of the status of the access point.
Accessing the Configuration Utility
NOTE: Configuration of a CEN-WAP-ABG must be performed from a computer
whose IP address is in the same IP subnet. The default configuration of the access
point allows the IP address of the access point to be automatically assigned by a
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on the local area network.
If a DHCP server does not exist on the network and 45 seconds have elapsed since
the access point was powered on, the IP address of the access point defaults to
192.168.1.222 and the subnet mask defaults to 255.255.255.0.
You can access the configuration utility from a Web browser or from the Crestron
Toolbox:
• You can access the configuration utility from a Web browser if you know
the IP address or host name of the access point.
NOTE: The default host name of the access point is CEN-WAP-ABG-1G.
For additional information, refer to “Using a Web Browser” on page 16.
• You can access the configuration utility from the Crestron Toolbox if the
access point is configured to operate in DHCP mode (default configuration).
The Crestron ToolBox automatically discovers the IP address of the access
point. For additional information, refer to “Using the Crestron ToolBox” on
page 16.
