- After obtaining the download, simply unpack the file to create
the following files in the ControlAP folder:
controlap.jar
controlap.sh
license.txt
controlap.png
readme.html
./jre (Note: Java (for i386 Linux) now included in the full download)
- Please read the readme.html file for the latest information
pertaining to this release
- To run ControlAP a Java Runtime Environment is required.
Most
platforms will contain a Java runtime but in case yours doesn't, see http://java.com . Note that
JRE is now included (unless you are updating) Non i386 Unix systems
requires Java, preferably Sun's (java.com) if you can install it as
./jre in the controlap folder (preferable) the above script will be
ready to run.
- Use the shell script to run ControlAP (may require modification
depending on which Unix system you are on)
- A successful first run will display a license agreement in a
window
(shown only the first time you run). If it fails to display a license
agreement,
you have started the program in the wrong startup folder.
To uninstall ControlAP, simply remove the ControlAP folder (and
desktop
icon if you created one). You may optionally want to save the log files
in
the log folder (if you selected logging) as well as any custom web
pages in the web folder. Uninstalling is not necessary for product
updates or upgrades to other editions.
Hardware 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)
