3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The access point can be configured using a Web browser that has Java support (Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer). Using the Web management interface, you can configure the access point and view statistics to monitor network activity.

The 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager helps you locate 3Com wireless LAN devices on the network, select a device and view its properties, and launch the device’s configuration in your Web browser. To configure a device, the device manager must be installed on a computer that has an Ethernet adapter and is running a supported Windows operating system and Web browser.

USING THE 3COM WIRELESS DEVICE MANAGER

After the 3Com Wireless Device Manager is installed, ensure that the device to be configured is either wired to the network, associating with the wireless network, or connected directly to the computer, and connected to power. If more than one device using the factory default name is connected, make a note of the MAC address of the device you want to select so that you can identify it in the device manager.

LAUNCHING A WIRELESS DEVICE CONFIGURATION

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, it can take up to one minute for a device to become discoverable after it has been powered up.

1To launch the 3Com Device Manager, select Start /Programs /3Com Wireless/Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager.

If you have more than one network adapter installed on your computer, you may be prompted to choose a network adapter. Choose the appropriate adapter and click OK.

The Wireless Network Tree appears in the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager window. The tree lists all WLAN service areas on the network and expands to show the 3Com wireless LAN devices that are associated to each service area.
