EWS-150g Configuration Guide

Managing the EWS-150g

The EWS-150g is preconfigured for basic functionality by the WISP using the unit’s embedded Web

Management Interface (WMI). The unit can also be configured remotely.

This User’s Guide describes how to configure and monitor your EWS-150g using its embedded Web

Management Interface.

Connecting to the Unit

Use an Ethernet cable (provided) to connect the EWS-150g to a computer. Alternatively, you can connect the

unit to the computer via an Ethernet switch, hub or router. If the network is using a DHCP server, the unit will

be assigned an IP address automatically (even when DHCP assigns an IP address the unit can always be

reached from its default IP address, which is 169.254.1.250). If no DHCP server is available, the unit can only

be reached via its default IP address (169.254.1.250). To establish a connection, the EWS-150g and your

computer must be on the same IP segment.

Use your Web browser to connect with the EWS-150g.

◗ When using a DHCP server, you can identify the IP address assigned by the server by looking in the log

files of the DHCP server, or by using the Strix Manager/One plug-in; however, the Manager/One plug-

in is only compatible with Microsoft® Internet Explorer, version 6.1 or higher. You can download the

plug-in from http://www.strixsystems.com/support/downloads.asp.

◗ If no DHCP server is available, use the unit’s default IP address (169.254.1.250).

Logging In

At the Login prompt, use the default user name and password to log in to the EWS-150g. The default user

name and password is Admin (for both). After entering the user name and password, click on the OK button to
