Initialization
The following sections detail how to initialize the AP using the ScanTool, log in to the HTTP interface, perform an initial
configuration if required (the Access Points are configured to a default settings) and download the required AP software.
Using ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included in the installation CD-ROM. It is an initial configuration tool that allows you to
find the IP address of an Access Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address if one
has not been assigned.
The tool automatically detects the Access Points installed in your network, regardless of IP address, and lets you
configure each unit’s IP settings. In addition, you can use set initial device parameters that will allows the AP to retrieve
new software to an AP that does not have a valid software image installed.
To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP, the AP must be assigned an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet
network. By default, the AP is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the network Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during the boot-up.
If your network contains a DHCP server, you can run the ScanTool to find out what IP address the AP has been assigned.
If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the Access Point’s IP address defaults to 169.254.128.132 and the
device starts with a dynamic IP address. By default, the IP address is Static.
ScanTool Instructions
Follow these steps to install ScanTool and initialize the AP:
1. Power up, reboot, or reset the AP.
2. Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the program (if the program is not already running).
If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All Programs > ORiNOCO > AP-800 > Xtras > ScanTool.
NOTE: If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be prompted to select the adapter that
you want ScanTool to use before the Scan List appears. You can use either an Ethernet or wireless adaptor. If
prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You can change your adapter setting at any time by clicking the Select
Adapter button on the Scan List screen.
ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected Access Points. The ScanTool’s Scan List screen appears, as shown
