Configuration Using Web Based Management and the Command Line Interface 
 
1.  Connect the access point with the HiPath Wireless Controller and with the 
configuration computer over the Ethernet interface. 
2.  If the access point is brand new, assign an IP address. 
If a DHCP server is visible, the access point is assigned an IP address 
automatically. Otherwise, assign the access point an IP address using the 
Primary Setup Tool (PST) (see Section 4, Configuring the IP Address with the 
Primary Setup Tool). 
3.  Connect your configuration computer with the access point in the Web browser 
and open Web Based Management (WBM) to the System Information page 
with W788-2RR > System (see Sections 5.1 and Fehler! Verweisquelle 
konnte nicht gefunden werden.). 
4. In the Device Mode list, select HiPath Access Point and confirm this with Set 
Values. During configuration make sure that the SCALANCE W78x is assigned 
an IP address suitable for the HiPath Wireless Controller.  
5.  A blue message "Restart to apply changes" appears above the System 
Information WBM page. 
Click on the blue message. The Restart window opens. 
Confirm the restart by clicking on the Restart button. 
The access point runs a restart.
