Configuring the Base Station Manually

The Base Station Management Tool is a Web-based utility that you can use to configure your base station for initial setup.

You should use the Base Station Management Tool for setup only in the following situations:

OThe computer where you will configure the base station is not running Microsoft® Windows® operating system.

OThe computer where you will configure the base station is running Windows 2000.

OYou are an advanced user and you do not want to use the Setup Wizard.

In all other situations, you should run the Setup Wizard to configure your base station. The Setup Wizard automatically configures the base station with your Internet and other network settings. For information about configuring the base station by using the Setup Wizard, see Chapter 2, “Setup.”

In addition to configuring your base station for initial setup, you can also use the Base Station Management Tool to manage your network settings, customize security options, and establish special network requirements such as a Web server. For information about these options, see the MN-500: Base Station Configuration Guide. You can find this guide on the Setup CD that came with your network products.
