TL-WA501G 54M Wireless Access Point User Guide

Chapter 4: TCP/IP Configuration

After connecting the TL-WA501G AP into your network, you should configure it. The

default IP address of the TL-WA501G 54Mbps Wireless Access Point is 192.168.1.1,

and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN.

They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for

description in this guide.

Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the AP. There are then two means to

configure the IP address for your PCs.

¾ Configure the IP address manually

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to

do this, please refer to

Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."

2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is

from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1

(The AP's default IP address)

¾ Obtain an IP address automatically

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on

your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to

Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."

2) Power off the AP and PC(s). Then turn on the AP, and restart the PC(s). The

built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network

connection between your PC(s) and the AP. The following example is in Windows 2000

OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.

Figure 4-1: Successful result of Ping command

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in figure 4-1, the connection between your

PC and the AP has been established.
