3.  Software Configuration

The ASUS WL-HDD2.5 can be configured to meet various usage sce-
narios. Some of the factory default settings may suit your usage; how-
ever, others may need to be changed.

Configuring the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 is done through a web browser. 
You need a PC connected to the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 (either directly 
or through a hub, with a wired or wireless connection) The web 
browser acts as a configuration terminal. For the wireless connection, 
you need an IEEE 802.11g/b compatible device, e.g. an ASUS 
WLAN Card, installed in your portable computer.

Connecting to the Web Interface

Wired Ethernet Connection
Besides using a network hub, you can also connect a LAN cable from 
your computer to the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 using either a straight or 
crossover cable because the device has auto-crossover capability. 

Wireless Connection
If you are using a portable computer with a wireless adapter, you can 
connect to the ASUS WLAN Web Manager without a wired Ethernet 
connection. Just make sure your TCP/IP settings are configured cor-
rectly as described in “TCP/IP Settings” on page 16. 

To configure the ASUS 
WL-HDD2.5, start your browser, 
type in the IP address of the device 
(192.168.1.220) in the Address box 
and click Go. The ASUS 
WL-HDD2.5 web manager opens. 
Click Settings to configure the 
device settings. A window pops up, 
prompting you to enter the User name and Password in order to log 
in. The factory default values are admin and admin for User name 
and Password. Click OK after typing in the required values.
