Initial Configuration
Overview
You can manage the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 with:
•Command Line Interface (CLI) that you access through a direct connection to the console port
For a description of how to use the CLI, refer to Appendix A: Using the Command Line Interface. To view a list of all the CLI commands, refer to “Command Groups” on page A‐9.
•Web interface that you access through Internet Explorer or another Web browser
Note: You must click on the Apply button at the bottom of each Web interface page for the configuration changes on that page to take effect.
•An SNMP manager, such as Enterasys Networks NetSight management applications.
Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation Guide for information on the physical setup of the access point.
Initial Configuration Steps
You can perform the initial configuration steps through the CLI or the Web interface.
The access point requests an IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server by default. If a DHCP server does not respond, then the access point uses the default address, 192.168.1.1.
If you utilize a DHCP server to provision new elements in your IP network, use your DHCP server or other utilities to determine the IP address assigned to this access point. Then, use the DHCP assigned IP address to connect to the access point.
