Determining if you Need to Configure the Ethernet Adapter 21
(Widman) included on the Enterasys Networks Installation CD to locate the
Ethernet Adapter on the network and view its IP address.
Alternatively, you can enter the Ethernet Adapter’s IP address into a web
browser on a computer on the same subnet to view the Ethernet
Adapter’s system status or change its configuration. See “Configuring
the Ethernet Adapter” on page 25 for instructions.
Networks without a DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Ethernet Adapter uses a
default IP address (169.254.2.2) that is assigned at the factory. You can
use that IP address to configure the Ethernet Adapter, or you can assign a
new IP address to the Ethernet Adapter.
To verify that the Ethernet Adapter is using the default IP address
assigned at the factory:
1 Connect a computer directly to the Ethernet Adapter using the supplied
standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
See Figure 10 on page 18 for a connection diagram.
2 Enter the Ethernet Adapter’s default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the
computer’s web browser.
■ If the Configuration Management System starts, the Ethernet Adapter
is using the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the
Ethernet Adapter with the following login information:
■ Login name: admin
■ Password: none (blank)
See “Configuring the Ethernet Adapter” on page 25 for detailed
instructions.
■ If the Configuration Management System does not start, the Ethernet
Adapter is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start
the Enterasys Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to
discover the Ethernet Adapter’s IP address. See “Using the Enterasys
Networks Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager” on page 26 for
instructions.
