ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210 Reference Manual
Installation and Configuration 2-3
v1.0, February 2009
Configuring the Access Point
Before installing the ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point, you should make sure that your Ethernet
network is up and working. You will be connecting the access point to the Ethernet network so that
computers with 802.11Next/b/g or 802.11b/g wireless adapters will be able to communicate with
computers on the Ethernet network. In order for this to work correctly, verify that you have met all
of the system requirements, shown on
“System Requirements” on page 1-2.
To log into the Access Point:
1. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network,
record its TCP/IP configuration settings.
2. Turn on your computer and configure your computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210
and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the WNAP210 to the computer.
4. Connect the power adapter to the WNAP210 and verify the following:
• The PWR power light goes on.
• The Ethernet port of the wireless access point is lit when connected to a powered on
computer.
• The WLAN LED should be blinking.
Setting Your Basic LAN Settings
The following sections describe how to log in to the wireless access point and to configure your

To configure the WNAP210 for LAN access:
1. Connect to the WNAP210 by opening a browser window on your PC and entering http://
192.168.0.236 in the address field. The WNAP210 login screen will appear.
