Follow the steps below to connect to an wireless controller or service
platform‘s Web UI for the first time:
Procedure
Connect
one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the front
of the controller or service platform and connect the
other end to a computer with a working Web
browser.
Set the computer to use an IP address between
192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.250 on the connected port. Set a subnet/network mask
of 255.255.255.0.
On
your computer, open the Windows calculator. To
access the calculator, click Start → All Programs → Accessories →
Calculator. This path may vary depending on the
version of Windows running on your computer.
With
the Calculator displayed, select
View → Scientific or View → Programmer depending on the
version of Windows running on your computer.
Select the Hex radio button.
Enter the penultimate octet of the AP's MAC
address. In this example, the AP's MAC address is:
00:C0:23:00:F0:0A. Enter F0.
Select the Dec radio button. The calculator
converts F0 into 240.
Repeat this process for the last octet in the AP's
MAC address. Enter A, and select Dec. The calculator converts A into
10.
The
AP's zero-config IP address is:
169.254.240.10
