4ipnet OWL500/510 supports web-based configuration. OWL500/510 is a dual-mode system, AP Mode as the default mode for the first time entering the system, which also can be configured as either an access point (AP

Mode) or a gateway (CPE Mode) based on your needs. It is required to follow the respective installation procedures provided to properly set up the desired mode for this system.

• Default IP Address of Web Management Interface:

The default IP address and Subnet Mask for the AP mode and CPE mode are as follows:

Mode AP Mode CPE Mode

IP Address

1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 1 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 1

Subnet Mask

2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 0 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 0

• Default User Name and Password:

There is only one management account for AP mode, root. In addition, there are two system management accounts for CPE mode to maintain the system, root and admin, and each has different levels of management capabilities. The root account is empowered with full privileges while the admin account is with partial ones.

The default user name and password for both the root and admin account are as follows:

The valid range of IP address is 1 ~ 254. However, 1 must be avoided as it is already used by OWL500/510.

Below depicts an example of using 100 (the underlined value can be changed as desired).

IP Address: 192.168.1.100

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
