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 to configure your base station for setup only in the following situations:

OYour computer is not running Microsoft® Windows® operating system.

OYou want to use the base station as an access point only.

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.”

There are two options for configuring your base station from the Base Station Management Tool.

Follow the Base Station Setup if you want to share a broadband Internet connection on your network by using the wireless base station in this kit.

Follow the Access Point Setup if you already have a network with a base station, router, or gateway, and you want to add wireless connectivity or extend the wireless range of your network.

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-700: Base Station Configuration Guide. You can find this guide on the Setup CD that came with your network products.
