You can now access the AP for initial configuration (see Initial login process on page
16).
Initial login process
During the initial login process, the AP presents its Welcome page. You must define
the AP login password for the AP’s device UI, set up the first user WiFi network, and
select the country or region in which you are using the AP (see the warnings below).
After you complete the initial-login process, if you want to log in to the device UI, the
AP no longer presents its Welcome page but a regular login page that lets enter your
AP login password.
For more information about the initial login process, see one of the following sections:
•
Connect directly to the AP over WiFi and log in for the first time on page 17
•
Connect to the AP over the LAN and log in for the first time on page 20
