- Installation:
- After obtaining a Java Personal Java environment (unless it's
included already), unzip and download / install ControlAP
- To create a shortcut when using the Jeode VM (as provided on
some HP IPaqs - check your CD), create a. controlap.link
file containing::
18#"\Windows\evm.exe"
-Djeode.evm.console.local.keep=FALSE -cp \intalldir\controlap.jar

Installation:
- Network
Settings:
From Network Settings for your Wireless Network Adapter
(or adapter connected to your external AP) you must specify a static IP
address.
Specify a IP address e.g. 192.168.1.1 (recommended for external APs
that use 192.168.1.251 such as LinkSys)
Examples of valid legal IP address to use as a static address
are: 192.168.x.x 10.x.x.x and 127.x.x.x These are valid as private
addresses for local networks (even though this private
network will be used publicly). Just make sure you don't use the same
subnet e.g. 192.168.1.x as the internet network adapter connected to
your router/modem.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
(leave Gateway and DNS servers blank)
- Running ControlAP:
- A successful first run will first prompt to agree to an end
user's
license agreement. After accepting, the main console window will be
shown.
- AT this point you are ready to start the Access Point. From
this point refer to the Main Console Window section under ControlAP Online Help
.
- Removing ControlAP:
- To uninstall ControlAP, Remove the ControlAP folder.
- Note: Uninstalling will remove all files so you may want to
leave logs in the log
folder and custom web pages in the web folder.
