Log in to the access point after initial setup

After initial setup, the access point is ready for use and you can change the settings and
monitor the traffic.
When you enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point and you use http,
the browser automatically redirects your request to https. If you did not yet install the
access point's security certificate, your browser might display a security message. You
can either ignore this message or install the security certificate. Consider the following
examples:
• Google Chrome. If Google Chrome displays a Your connection is not private
message, click the ADVANCED link. Then, click the Proceed to x.x.x.x (unsafe)
link, in which x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the switch.
• Apple Safari. If Apple Safari displays a This connection is not private message, click
the Show Details button. Then, click the visit this website link. If a warning pop-up
window displays, click the Visit Website button. If another pop-up window displays
to let you confirm changes to your certificate trust settings, enter your Mac user name
and password and click the Update Setting button.
• Mozilla Firefox. If Mozilla Firefox displays a Your connection is not secure message,
click the ADVANCED button. Then, click the Add Exception button. In the pop-up
window that displays, click the Confirm Security Exception button.
• Microsoft Internet Explore. If Microsoft Internet Explorer displays a There is a
problem with this website's security certificate message, click the Continue to this
website (not recommended) link.
• Microsoft Edge. If Microsoft Edge displays a There is a problem with this website's
security certificate message or a similar warning, select Details > Go on to the
webpage.

access point.
• Ethernet. A connection from a computer over an Ethernet cable to one of the
LAN ports on the access point, either with or without a switch or hub between
the computer and the access point.
