Before you can manage an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Access Point using its
built-in browser interface, you have
to know the IP address of the access point. The AP Discovery Tool can be used to find
the access points on your network and determine the IP address of each.
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Access Point Default Settings
By default, automated assignment of an IP address using DHCP is Disabled in
access point settings. Contact your
network administrator to determine the IP address of the access point, or
use the AP Discovery tool to determine it.
On a static IP network without
DHCP support, you can also use the default IP address 192.0.2.1 to
gain access to the access point's browser-based interface for configuration
purposes.
You can install the AP Administration Tools during installation of drivers
and software for your wireless adapter. If
you did not install the AP Administration Tools when you installed the adapter
software, see Site Survey Tools.
