Deploying the ioLogik 2500-WL1

For testing requirements, we strongly suggest that you prepare a wireless LAN adapter. After finishing the

installation and configuration, you should test the ioLogik 2500-WL1 to make sure the wireless transmission

is working normally.

Step 1: Set up the computer’s IP address, and the connect ioLogik 2500-WL1 to a notebook or

PC.

In a Windows environment, the computer’s IP address can be changed in the TCP/IP settings window.

Select an IP address on the same subnet as the ioLogik 2500-WL1. Since the ioLogik 2500-WL1’s default IP

address is 192.168.127.253, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you should set the IP address of the

computer to 192.168.127.xxx.

Step 2: Use the IOxpress utility to configure the ioLogik 2500-WL1.

See the following section to learn how to use IOxpress to configure the ioLogik 2500-WL1’s functions.

ATTENTION

Be sure to eliminate loops from networks that consist of wireles

links. If any loops exist, packets will circle around the loops and network performance will

be seriously degraded. The following figure shows a network topology containing a loop.
