Initial Configuration
The EliteConnect Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Access
Point SMC2555W-AG offers a variety of management options,
including a web-based interface, a direct connection to the
console port, or using SNMP software such as SMC’s EliteView.
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web
browser interface using the Setup Wizard (page 4-4). The access
point requests an IP address via DHCP by default. If no response
is received from a DHCP server, then the access point uses the
default address 192.168.2.2. If this address is not compatible with
your network, you can first use the command line interface (CLI)
as described below to configure a valid address.
Note: Units sold in countries outside the United States are not
configured with a specific country code. You must use the CLI to
set the country code and enable wireless operation (page 4-4).
Initial Setup through the CLI
Required Connections
The SMC2555W-AG provides an RS-232 serial port that enables
a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the access point. You can use the console
cable provided with this package, or use a null-modem cable that
complies with the wiring assignments shown on page B-4.
