20 AP-7522 Access Point
3 Basic Access Point Configuration
To provide the Access Point a basic configuration and access user interface management functions:
1. The Access Point’s IP address is optimally provided using DHCP or from bottom of the Access Point itself
(if available). A zero config IP address can also be derived if DHCP resources are unavailable or the IP
address is not listed on the bottom of the unit. Using zero config, the last two octets in the IP address are
the decimal equivalent of the last two bytes in the Access Point’s hardcoded MAC address.
For example:
MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
Zero-config IP address - 169.254.240.10
To derive the Access Point’s IP address using its MAC address:
a. Open the Windows calculator by selecting Start > All Programs > Accessories > Calculator. This menu
path may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows.
b. With the Calculator displayed, select View > Scientific. Select the Hex radio button.
c. Enter a hex byte of the Access Point’s MAC address. For example, F0.
d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for the last
Access Point MAC address octet.
2. Point the Web browser to the Access Point’s IP address. The following login screen displays:
3. Enter the default username admin in the Username field.
4. Enter the default password admin123 in the Password field.
5. Select the Login button to load the management interface.
