Setting up the access point

Setting up and deploying one or more Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs is in effect creating and launching a wireless network. The KickStart Wizard and corresponding Basic Settings Administration Web page simplify this process. Here is a step-by-step guide to setting up your Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs and the resulting wireless network. Have the KickStart CD handy, and familiarize yourself with the “Default settings and supported administrator/client platforms” on page 5 if you have not already.
