Windows Installation:
Note: the following instructions are for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP platforms with differences noted.
- Installation Choices:
- After obtaining download simply run and follow the install program's
instructions. The following screen shows the installation options:
You can select or deselect each option. Run at Startup will place
a shortcut in the StartUp group. Note: for WinNT/2000/XP the option to install
the program as a service is not yet available in this release but you can use
Microsoft's Srvany utility to run any application as a service.
Note: the actual initial space required is only 160KB excluding the installer.
- To uninstall ControlAP, simply run the uninstall.exe in the folder
you installed it in or use the Add/Remove Control Panel applet. (Start button
-> Settings)
- Uninstalling will remove all files except for log files (in the log
folder) as well as web files in the web folder.
- 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.
Control Panel -> Network and Dial-up Connections -> (select
the adapter from the list) -> Properties (File or right-click) ->
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) -> Properties
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)
