Access Point Setup

This Chapter provides details of the Setup process for Basic Operation of your Wireless Access Point.

Overview

This chapter describes the setup procedure to make the Wireless Access Point a valid device on your LAN, and to function as an Access Point for your Wireless Stations.

Wireless Stations may also require configuration. For details, see Chapter 4 - Wireless Station Configuration.

The Wireless Access Point can be configured using either the supplied Windows utility or your Web Browser

Setup using the Windows Utility

A simple Windows setup utility is supplied on the CD-ROM. This utility can be used to assign a suitable IP address to the Wireless Access Point. Using this utility is recommended, because it can locate the Wireless Access Point even if it has an invalid IP address.

2.If the utility does not start automatically, run the SETUP program in the root folder.

3.Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Main Screen
