Configuring Access Point Security
6-3
6.2 Setting Passwords
Before setting the AP-5131 security parameters, verify an administrative password for the AP-5131
has been created to restrict access to the device before advanced device security is configured.
To password protect and restrict AP-5131 device access:
1. Connect a wired computer to the AP-5131 LAN port using a standard CAT-5 cable.
2. Set up the computer for TCP/IP DHCP network addressing and make sure the DNS settings
are not hardcoded.
3. Start up Internet Explorer (with Sun Micro Systems’ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or
higher installed) and type in the default IP address in the address field.
To connect to the AP, the AP-5131 IP is required. If connected to the AP-5131 using the WAN
port, the default static IP address is 10.1.1.1. The default password is “symbol.” If connected
to the AP-5131 using the LAN port, the default setting is DHCP client. The user must know
the IP address in order to access the AP-5131 using a Web browser.
The AP-5131 Login screen displays.
NOTE For optimum compatibility use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.5 or higher
(available from Sun’s Web site), and be sure to disable Microsoft’s Java
Virtual Machine if it is installed.
