Using the Web-Browser Interface Management Pages

The access point/bridge management pages use consistent techniques to present and save configuration information. A navigation bar is on the left side of the page, and configuration action buttons appear at the bottom. You use the navigation bar to browse to other management pages, and you use the configuration action buttons to save or cancel changes to the configuration.

Note The access point/bridge web-browser interface uses Windows Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or higher) or Netscape Communicator (version 7.0 or higher) on your Windows-based PC.

Note Changes are applied only when you click Apply. It’s important to remember that clicking your browser’s Back button returns you to the previous page without saving any changes you have made. Clicking Cancel cancels any changes you made on the page and keeps you on that page.
