01 Web Login

After a fat AP is switched to fit AP, it will be managed by AC3000 automatically and you just need to deliver policies from AC3000 to the fit AP. Besides, when the fit AP is managed by AC3000, you can't login to the fit AP.

However, if the fit AP and AC3000 are in different networks, you need to log in to the fit AP for some settings.

To log in to the fit AP:

1. Deploy AC3000 and the fat AP in the same network and switch the fat AP to fit AP.
   For switching details, refer to the user manual of AC3000 Multi-service Controller Web UI for Fit AP Management and get the related configuration.
2. Log in to AC3000's first Web UI and go to AP Management > Modify AP to get the fit AP's IP address.
   Or restore the fit AP to factory default. If so, the fit AP's login address becomes: http://192.168.0.254:8080.
   Note: In the following steps, assume that the fit AP is in factory default state.
3. Deploy the fit AP to its correct location (in a different network with AC3000) and connect a management PC to the fit AP.
4. Set up the PC's IP address as 192.168.0.X (X 为 2\~253) and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
5. Launch a browser and enter http://192.168.0.254:8080 in the address bar, then press Enter or Return.

IP-COM http://192.168.0.254:8080

1. Enter default username and password (both are admin) and click Log In.

Authentication Required http://192.168.0.254:8080 requires a username and password. Your connection to this site is not private. User Name: admin Password: ***** Log In Cancel
