1.3 System Requirements
Release 1.0.0.15 of the Operation Software runs on the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless
54 Mbps 11g Access Point (model number 3CRWE454G75 / WL-524).
1.3.1 Initial Addressing for the Access Point
The OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Access Point (AP) receives its initial network
address according to the following sequence:
1. The AP boots up
2. The AP searches the network for a DHCP Server to get its initial network address.
3. If the AP detects a DHCP server, it receives an IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway from this server.
4. If the AP does not reach a DHCP server, it will set itself to a static initial IP
address of 192.168.1.250, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
In some cases, if the 3Com discovery tool (included with unit) may not detect the AP,
and no DHCP server is available, the AP has probably defaulted to this address.
To communicate with an AP using the default address, follow this procedure:
1. Set the IP address of your PC to any address in the same IP subnet as the AP (for
example 192.168.1.10) with subnet mask the same as the AP (255.255.255.0).
2. Point your web browser at the Access Point default address: 192.168.1.250.
3. At this time you will be able to log in and change the operating mode, and change
the static IP address if needed.
3Com recommends that you set a static IP address in the Access Point so that you will
always know the IP address. Depending on the DHCP server used, a different IP address
could be assigned to the Access Point with each reboot.

3. Known Issues for OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps
11g Access Point Release v1.0.0.15
•
The AP Discovery tool might return multiple instances of the same AP, after a
discovery. To verify the correct AP is discovered, check the MAC address listed in
the table of the Discovery tool with the MAC address on the back of the AP.
•
When using ‘WDS Bridge’ mode, Wireless clients are not allowed to associate to
the AP. Only LAN to LAN connectivity, as this is a point-to-point connection. At
present WDS does not support WPA encryption.
•
When using ‘Wireless Client’ mode, only one PC can connect to the AP’s LAN
Port and pass traffic to the AP wireless network. After the ‘Wireless Client’ mode
Configuration is set up, the AP must reboot for the configuration to take effect.
•
ALL changes to the ‘Setup’ page must be followed by an ‘Apply’ on the bottom of
the page, to take effect. In addition, after setting ‘Configure Security’ on the
Security configuration pop-up page, you must also press the apply button on the
‘Setup’ page, for changes to take effect.
4. Upgrading Software
To upgrade the software in the 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Access
Point, perform the following procedure:
1. Obtain the appropriate upgrade for your device.
The upgrade file available from the 3Com web site may be provided in a Zip or EXE
format. If it is, please unzip the file or run the executable to reveal the upgrade file.
The upgrade file usually has a file suffix of .fim.
2. Access the AP management interface by pointing your web browser at the IP address
for the Access Point.
3. Log in to the user interface by typing the administrator password (Default is “admin”
without quotes).
4. Select the “System” tab on the menu on the left side of the page.
5. Click on the “browse” button which will open a screen for you to select a filename to
load into the Access Point. Select “open”.
6. Press the “Upgrade Firmware” button.
7. Wait until the unit provides the login page again.
