TL-WA7110ND 150Mbps High Power Wireless Access Point User GuideChapter 3. Quick Installation GuideThis Chapter will guide you to configure the AP to function in your network and gain access to theinternet through your ISP immediately after successful configuration. More detailed description ofthe AP’s web-based utility and functions can be found in “Chapter 4 Configuring the AP”3.1 Configure the DeviceThe instructions in this section will help you configure each of your PCsto be able to communicate with the AP.The default IP address of the TL-WA7110ND 150Mbps High Power Wireless AccessPoint is192.168.0.254. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen fromthe LAN. They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use thedefault values for description in this guide.Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the AP. There are then two ways to configure the IPaddress for your PC.Configure the IP address manually1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,please refer to Appendix B: Configuring the PC.2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to253), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0Note:If you configure your device by this way, please remember to change the configuration of your PCto the figure as shown below to make your PC connect to the Internet successfully.Obtain an IP address automaticallyThis method can be available only when DHCP in section 4.8.1 is enabled.1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: Configuring thePC.10
TL-WA7110ND 150Mbps High Power Wireless Access Point User Guide2) Power off the AP and PC. Then turn on the AP and restart the PC. The built-in DHCPserver will assign IP address for the PC.Note:For Windows 98 OS or earlier, the PC and AP may need to be restarted.Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connectionbetween your PC and the AP. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.254, and then press Enter.If the result displayed is similar to that shown in Figure 3-1, the connection between your PC andthe AP has been established.Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping commandIf the result displayed is similar to that shown in Figure 3-2, it means that your PC has notconnected to the AP.Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping commandPlease check the connection following these steps:1.
