Note The web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 on Windows 98, 2000, and XP platforms, and with Netscape version 7.0 on Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Solaris platforms.

Note Avoid using the CLI and the web-browser tools concurrently to configure the wireless device. If you configure the wireless device using the CLI, the web-browser interface may display an inaccurate interpretation of the configuration. This inappropriate display of information does not necessarily mean the wireless device is misconfigured.

Use the interface dot11radio global configuration CLI command to place the wireless device into the radio configuration mode.
