[wellylug] DSE XH8287 Access Point - how to change settings?

[Andrew Tarr]

Hi folks,

This is a little off topic (although apparently these things are 
basically a linksys WAP54G under the hood, and run linux), but can 
anyone help me changing the settings of a DSE xh8287 Wireless Access Point?

I've inherited one, and I've reset to factory settings.  If I put it on 
the network, I can connect, get an IP address from the ADSL router, and 
access the internet fine.

However, there's no password, and I can't work out how to access the 
access point to change its settings.

It doesn't seem to be doing DHCP itself, as I can't get an IP address 
either through the wired or wireless network if the ADSL router is 
unplugged.  The ADSL router isn't giving it an IP address either.

I've found a mention of the IP address being 192.168.1.245 for WAP54G 
devices,  so I changed my wired IP manually to 192.168.1.10 (currently 
my network's in the 192.168.254.0 range) but I couldn't access anything 
using a browser at 192.168.1.245 or .254 (in case it was a typo).

Searching DSE's site fails to find anything, and old URLs to the manual 
no longer work.

Does anyone know the default IP address and password for these things?

Is DSE still making old manuals available?

-Andrew.
