Determining if you Need to Configure the Bridge 19 Networks without a DHCP Server If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Bridge uses a default IP address (169.254.2.2) that is assigned at the factory. You can use that IP address to configure the Bridge, or you can assign a new IP address to the Bridge. To verify that the Bridge is using the default IP address assigned at the factory: 1 Connect a computer directly to the Bridge using the supplied standard Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable. See Figure 12 on page 16 for a connection diagram. 2 Enter the Bridge's default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the computer's web browser. ■ If the Configuration Management System starts, the Bridge is using the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the Bridge with the following login information: ■ Login name: admin ■ Password: none (blank) See "Configuring the Bridge" on page 23 for detailed instructions. ■ If the Configuration Management System does not start, the Bridge is on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to discover the Bridge's IP address. See "Using the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager" on page 24 for instructions.

Determining if you Need to Configure the Bridge
19
Networks without a DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Bridge uses a default
IP address (169.254.2.2) that is assigned at the factory. You can use that
IP address to configure the Bridge, or you can assign a new IP address to
the Bridge.
To verify that the Bridge is using the default IP address assigned at the
factory:
1
Connect a computer directly to the Bridge using the supplied standard
Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
See Figure 12 on page 16 for a connection diagram.
2
Enter the Bridge’s default IP address (169.254.2.2) into the computer’s
web browser.
If the Configuration Management System starts, the Bridge is using
the factory assigned IP address. You can configure the Bridge with the
following login information:
Login name: admin
Password: none (blank)
See “Configuring the Bridge” on page 23 for detailed instructions.
If the Configuration Management System does not start, the Bridge is
on a different subnet than the computer. Install and start the 3Com
Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to discover the Bridge’s IP
address. See “Using the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device
Manager” on page 24 for instructions.
