Pharos Web Management setup question
2015-09-09 21:25:28
Tags:
Model : CPE210
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I'm having a problem setting up Pharos Web Management. I tried following the instructions:
Initial Computer Setup– For Mac OS X
Go to the Apple>System Preferences>Network> Highlight Ethernet >Configure IPv4: Using DHCP with manual address
Input the IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.10
Click Apply
My problem is I don't have an Ethernet option and when I click the "+" button to add a connection, Ethernet is not an option. The available options are Thunderbolt Bridge, Bluetooth PAN, Bluetooth DUN, Wi-Fi, VPN, PPPoE, or 6 to 4. Is there an alternate way to connect without using ethernet? I'm using a MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
I tried using the Thunderbolt Bridge option since it has a IPv4 option. IPv4 configuration is set to "Using DHCP with manual address" and I entered 192.168.0.10 as the IP address. The error message says I'm "Not connected. None of the member interfaces is connected."
My cable connections are:
CPE 210 to POE using an ethernet cable
POE to Apple AirPort Time Capsule using an ethernet cable
MacBook Air is set to WiFi and I have my regular Wi-Fi signal, not the new signal I'm trying to set up.
Can anyone please tell me what my problem or problems are? Thanks

I was in hospital for 6 weeks is why it has taken me so long to get this to work.
Good you are out on the road again
I won't talk about your set up, cause I have no idea of that set up, your Thread is about login into CPE web ui, like posted you before CPE, Mac and usb to ethernet, to log into PHAROS interface, to set it up, once you do that, connect it the way you need it.

That is my problem. I have all the cables connected and the static IP set, but when I go to 192.168.0.254 I get the error messages I stated above. I cannot get into PHAROS at 192.168.0.254. What is wrong?

Is it possible you go to a friends Lap with Windows.
Can you try USB to ethernet adapter, check is working properly, disable wireless on Mac and connect it via cable to your router you should surf the web

I could use someone's Windows laptop but won't that only work while I am at my current location? I will be moving my RV in 2 weeks and I'll need to connect to a new WiFi signal. I think I will have to log onto PHAROS to input the new password and I'll still have this connection problem.
The USB adapter is working because I can connect to the internet with it using my modem and DHCP but I cannot get to 192.168.0.254 (Error message: the server where this page is located isn't responding). When I use the modem and manual DHCP (192.168.0.10), the internet does not work at all (Error message: the server where this page is located isn't responding).
Is there stand alone PHAROS software I can install onto my laptop to set up client mode instead of having to go to 192.168.0.254?

I did not try to use a friend's windows laptop. You asked if I could use a friend's windows laptop. Yes I could but just for the next 2 weeks. On 01 December I will drive my RV 300 miles to a new RV Park and I will connect to a new WiFi signal at the new RV Park and I will not be able to use a friend's laptop to connect and log in to Pharos
192.168.0.254. I need to be able to connect and log in to Pharos Web Management with my laptop so I can input the new WiFi password every 2 months when I move to a new RV Park with a new WiFi signal. Each time I move I will have to log in to Pharos to enter the new WiFi password. I would like to know why I cannot connect and log into Pharos and how to fix it so I can log into Pharos from my laptop each time I move.

You need to help me a little, let's forget about dates, miles and RV, I want to rule out a problem with your CPE, if you can do it now with your friends Windows Lap, please do it, and if you are able, we know CPE is working 100%, once you log and set password, then we move to your Mac

This is what you should do on Windows Lap
Disable wireless on Lap
Set static ip on Lap Lan card to 192.168.0.100
Take your USB to Ethernet adapter with the CD or download the drivers for Windows, DO NOT use it for now
Use any browser and log to http://192.168.0.254 you can try it with http:// or without it, it won't matter in Windows but it does matter in my iPhone this could be one of your issues with Mac
You won't see the interface right away as you surf internet takes some seconds to pop
If you succeed to see the Region and password we know your CPE is correct
Now disconnect the Lan cable on Lap and test your USB to Ethernet adapter (drivers for it should had been loaded) with this I want to rule out your USB adapter works with CPE
The way to connect to POE and Lap, there is a manual on your CPE box or use the web manuals here is the link to http://www.tp-link.com/resources/document/CPE510_V1_Datasheet.pdf
scroll down to Hardware Overview and you will see the how to

I was able to get it to work on a Windows laptop and now it's working on my Mac! :D
I went into PharOS where I set up Client Mode and it's working great! I'm on it right now using my AirPort wired to the CPE and then wireless from AirPort to MacBook Air. Works great for all of our devices!
One question, about Client Mode setup please: I saw on a FAQ sheet to set distance to 110% of actual, but the Client Mode setup instruction sheet didn't say anything about setting distance. Do I keep the distance setting at 0, do I input the distance I need plus 10%, or do I so something else?
Thank you so much for being so patient with me, I really appreciate it!
