Chapter 3 Initial Setup
The WAP-6100 allows configuration either via the configuration utility, known as Locator, or Web Browser
through network. For the initial installation, we suggest using the PLANET WAP-6100 Locator. Before
using Locator, please make sure the personal firewall installed in your PC is disabled.
It is strongly recommended to configure and manage WAP-6100 using a wired LAN computer.
