Getting Started With Access Point
Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for logging on to the Web interface and a
summary of the essential configuration tasks you need to perform to get the
access point up and running on your network.
Topics discussed include:
■ Introducing the Management Web Interface
■ Tasks for Your First Web Browser Interface Session
■ Default Configuration Parameters
Introducing the Management Web
Interface
The access point is managed through a Web browser-based interface that you
can access from any PC or workstation on the same subnet as the access point.
Open a compatible browser and type the access point’s IP address as the URL.
(See “
Step 1. Preconfigure the Access Point” on page 2-4 for information on
setting the IP address.)
Note You can use the Web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the
access point already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.
No additional software installation is required to make this interface available;
it is included in the access point’s onboard software.
You will need a common Web browser to access the management interface.
The Web browser that you will use for management must have JavaScript
enabled to support the interactive features of the Web interface. It must also
support HTTP uploads to use the software update feature.
