Installing the SkyZhone access point38 SkyZhone 1624, 1424, 1224 Hardware Installation GuideInitial ConfigurationUsing the factory defaultsThe factory defaults for the SkyZhone Access Point includes two VLANS. •VLAN 1 is the default data VLAN.Ports eth0 (SHDSL), eth1 (PoE), and wlan1 are all members of this VLAN.•VLAN 7 is the default management VLAN.Ports eth0 (SHDSL) and eth1 (PoE) are members of this VLAN. Before using the SkyZhone Access point, use the CLI commands on the console interface to assign an IP address to the SkyZhone. For your network, determine the appropriate IP addresses as well as subnet mask, default gateway and broadcast address settings. The SkyZhone Access Point can now be configured for management.In the following example, the values for the settings for the network are:•IP address: 10.108.14.218•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0•Broadcast Address: 10.108.14.255•Default gateway: 10.108.14.254Use the following three commands to configure VLAN management.•config if interface brvlan7 ip 10.108.14.218 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.108.14.255•config if route-add destination default gateway 10.108.14.254•config admin-tools save running-config After entering these commands, the system can be managed using SSH or HTTPS over the SHDSL interface or the PoE interface. Refer to the SkyZhone CLI Reference Guide for a list of supported commands to configure advanced SkyZhone features. Changing the factory defaultsIf you are not using the factory default VLANs, you need to delete the default VLANs and configure the VLANs that are appropriate for your network. In the example below, VLAN 2 is used for management instead of the default VLAN 7. Also, VLAN 122 is the data VLAN instead of VLAN 1.
Initial Configuration SkyZhone 1624, 1424, 1224 Hardware Installation Guide 391Delete the default VLANS.

Installing the SkyZhone access point40 SkyZhone 1624, 1424, 1224 Hardware Installation GuideUsing the Ethernet interfaceThe Ethernet port can be used to configure the SkyZhone using the factory default. The Ethernet port on the SkyZhone has a default address of 192.168.1.1. If a static IP address is set on your PC that is on the same subnet (for example, 192.168.1.100), then use HTTPS to configure the remaining parameters. Note that the SkyZhone uses HTTPS and not HTTP. The default login is admin and the default password is zhone.Note that if the IP address of the management VLAN is changed, you lose your connection to the SkyZhone unit. A new static IP address must be configured on your PC that is compatible with the new IP address that you configured in the SkyZhone unit. Also, if any changes have been made to the VLAN definitions, the corresponding changes will have to be made in the DSLAM that the SkyZhone is connected to.
